Abstract
The perspectives on migraine are changing rapidly. Many of the recent findings on migraine are examined. The overlap between migraine and tension headache, which has led to a reappraisal of the treatment of this disorder, is reviewed. Both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic methods of treating migraine are discussed.
