Abstract
Migraine is a common disorder that causes severe headaches and associated nausea, photophobia, phonophobia, and temporary disability. Though the pain and other symptoms of migraine can be effectively man' aged, the condition remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. In this article, Drs Lipton, Stewart, Reed, and Diamond consider the scope and distribution of the migraine problem and the current patterns of care in the United States.Keywords
