Most patients with migraine require acute treatment for at least some attacks. There is no one-size-fits-all acute treatment and multiple treatment trials are sometimes necessary to determine the optimal regimen for patients. In this episode, Teshamae Monteith, MD, FAAN, speaks with Rebecca Burch, MD, FAHS author of the article “Acute Treatment of Migraine,” in the Continuum April 2024 Headache issue. Dr. Monteith is the associate editor of Continuum® Audio and an associate professor of clinical neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Miami, Florida. Dr. Burch is an assistant professor in the Department of Neurological Sciences at Larner College of Medicine, University of Vermont, Burlington, Vermont.  Additional Resources Read the article: Acute Treatment of Migraine Subscribe to Continuum: continpub.com/Spring2024 Earn CME (available only to AAN members): continpub.com/AudioCME Continuum® Aloud (verbatim audio-book style recordings of articles available only to Continuum® subscribers): continpub.com/Aloud More about the American Academy of Neurology: aan.com Social Media facebook.com/continuumcme @ContinuumAAN Host: @headacheMD Guest: @RebeccaCBurch Transcript Dr Jones: This is Dr Lyell Jones, Editor-in-Chief of Continuum, the premier topic-based neurology clinical review and CME journal from the American Academy of Neurology.

Dr Monteith: This is Dr Teshamae Monteith, Associate Editor of Continuum Audio. Today I'm interviewing Dr Rebecca Burch on acute treatment of migraine, which is part of the April 2024 Continuum issue on headache. Dr Burch is an Assistant Professor at Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont in Burlington, Vermont. Well, hi, Rebecca - thank you so much for being on our podcast. Dr Burch: Thank you so much for having me. It's always such a pleasure to talk with you. Dr Monteith: You wrote a really excellent article on acute management of migraine - really detailed. Dr Burch: Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had a lot of fun writing it. Dr Monteith: Why don't you tell our listeners, what did you set out to do in writing this article? Dr Burch: Whenever I write a review article on a topic, I aim for two things, and these were the same things that I was aiming for here with this one. One is practicality and just for it to be really applicable to clinical practice and every day what we do - the ins and outs - and that was the case here as well. I really love a good table in a paper like this. I spend a lot of time on tables. I want people to be able to print them out, use them as reference, bookmark them. So, that was one thing that I aimed for - was just for this to be really useful. The other thing is, I really wanted to instill a sense of confidence in people after reading this article. I think the management of migraine can be very overwhelming for people taking care of people with migraine. And there are so many acute treatment options, so I wanted to give a framework for how to think about acute treatment (how to approach it), and then within that framework, to really go into the nuances of all the various options, and how to choose between them, and what to do in specific circumstances. And I also really wanted to cover what to do when the first couple of options don't work. Because I think most neurologists, PCPs, are comfortable prescribing sumatriptan, and then the question is, what happens when that doesn't work or the patient doesn't tolerate it? What do you do for rescue therapy? What do you do for your fifth-line treatment? And I think that was an area that I really wanted to cover as well. Dr Monteith: Yeah, you got a lot done, for sure. So, I agree - there's been so many options, new options, even over the past five or definitely ten years. One of the things that excited me about going into headache medicine were all the options, thinking of migraine and other headache disorders as a treatable disorder. What made you interested in headache medicine? Dr Burch: Like so many other people who ended up going into headache medicine, I had a fantastic mentor in residency who was really great at treating headache patients - as Brian McGeeney at Boston Medical Center (he's now at Brigham and Women's). He was really passionate about headache medicine, and seeing patients with him was always such a delight because he always had something to try. And many other situations, it would be, like, “Well, this person, we've tried something; we don't know what else to do.” But when you work with a headache specialist as a mentor or as a preceptor, they have so many things they can do, and people largely get better. And they're so grateful - it changes people's lives to be able to treat their migraine, their other headaches effectively. So that was really inspiring. And then when I started doing headache rotations and sort of thinking about whether this was the right subspecialty for me, I quickly realized two things about headache medicine that ended up being what I really love about it to this day. One is the longitudinal relationships that we have with patients - we take care of people for a long time. And it doesn't always have to be that we're seeing people every three months and making tweaks - sometimes it's once a year. But we do get to know people. You know, I have two children. Many of my patients saw me through both of those pregnancies and ask about my kids, and it's just lovely to have that sort of personal relationship over time. And then the other aspect that I really love is that we can't see patients in isolation just as their migraine disorder or headache disorder; we really have to think about who they are as a whole person. What's going on in your life? What are your stressors? How's your job, how's your family? How are you sleeping? How's your mood? Are you exercising? What's your diet like? All of these things impact how someone's migraine disorder is going. And I like to joke, “I'm half life coach, you know, and half pharmacologist,” and I love that. I love that I bring my whole self every time I see a patient and see their whole self, too. Dr Monteith: I can just imagine how well you do that. You mentioned the power of mentorship, and that seems to be a theme when interviewing authors (that mentors are super important). And I know you've been an incredible mentor. Why don't you tell us a little bit about your academic journey? I mean, I see you in the halls at these major conferences, but I've never pulled you aside and said, “Hey, what's your journey - your academic journey – like, other than your great editorial work for neurology, of course?” Dr Burch: I did my fellowship at Brigham and Women's and then stayed on there as an attending, and ultimately took over as fellowship director before I took a break, which I'll talk about in a minute. In that time, I was doing clinical care and I had a research program and I was doing education - doing a lot of teaching for CME work, and teaching primary care and subspecialists about migraine - and I really love that piece of things - and precepting fellows. And then, I also had my editorial work on top of that. I have been a medical journal editor as long as I have been a headache specialist. We were talking about mentors, and I want to talk, at some point, about my fantastic mentor, Elizabeth Loder, who is also a research editor, in addition to being an outstanding headache medicine clinician and researcher and educator. But she got me started as an Assistant Editor for Headache in my fellowship year - the journal Headache - and I continued as an Associate Editor there. I worked as a Research Editor for the British Medical Journal for a while and then joined the journal Neurology, where I am one of the eight Associate Editors. I cover the general neurology portfolio, which includes a lot of things - includes headache medicine, includes traumatic brain injury, pain, spine, neuro-oncology, neuro-otology - there's a whole bunch of different things that I have learned a lot about since starting as an editor. So, I have always had a lot of different parts to my job, which keeps me interested. It's also a lot, and I do always talk about the fact that I ended up taking a year off because I think it's important to be real about the lives that we lead and our jobs as academic neurologist. So I ended up having a bunch of family health issues that came up in 2021, and combined with all of the other things that we're doing, I just couldn't keep it all going. And I ended up getting sort of burned out a little bit and was having trouble balancing all of that and the family health issues that were going on. And I ended up taking about a year off from clinical work. I continued with my editorial work and kind of got everything sorted out with my family, and then just started my current position in January. I'd just like to bring that up to show that – you know, not everyone's going to be able to take a year off - I recognize that. But I think it's important to normalize that just being “pedal to the metal” all the time is not feasible for anyone. And we need to recognize that it's okay to take breaks periodically. So, I'm kind of an evangelist for the “taking-a-break model.” Dr Monteith: Yeah, you took a break but you kind of didn't, because you've been doing a lot for us in neurology, and I certainly appreciate that. Speaking about all of that and feeling burnt out - what inspires you; what does keep you going? Because I know you keep going. Dr Burch: I do. Well, it's really funny - when I took my time off, I used that as an opportunity to really think about, “Okay, is this really what I want to be doing? Is this the right path for me? Do I want to rethink things?” And I ended up in the same job that I left, just in a different place. I'm still doing clinical care, and I'm the fellowship director of my current institution, and I still do all this education, and I'm getting my research program going, and I'm still an editor. So, I think the bottom line is, I have always loved what I do; it's just a question of making it all fit. So, you know, when I get up in the morning, when it's a clinic day, I am so excited to just go and talk to my patients and see how they're doing and see if there's something I can do to make them feel better. And it's just delightful to be able to play that role in people's lives, even if they're not getting better. You know, I think sometimes just being there with them is of service and is worth doing, and that feels very meaningful to me. And I have a fellow now. I love working with my fellow and teaching, and I love just talking about headache medicine and, you know, “What can we do to help people?” So, that really inspires me. On an editorial day, I'm interested in what research people are doing and seeing how neurology can publish the best research possible. We're all moving the field forward and it's just delightful to see what people are doing. I don't know - I like all of it. Dr Monteith: Yeah - you spoke about talking to patients and having that interaction. I'm thinking about migraine and patients going into status, having severe attacks. Is there any case that really moved you, made you think differently? Dr Burch: What really sticks out in my mind when I think about acute treatment, in particular, is what doesn't necessarily fit neatly into the algorithms that we develop. The situations where creativity and persistence and working together really make a big difference for a patient. I am the first person to tell you we do not know everything yet, and maybe we will never know everything. And I think sometimes we need to think outside the box. We need to “listen between the lines” to what people are telling us, and really work together to figure out a very individualized, well-crafted plan. I'm thinking about times that - for example, someone came to me and said, “I'm having these intermittent episodes where I get all of the symptoms of migraine but I don't get headache pain. You know, I get the nausea and I get the photophobia and I'm irritable and, you know, what do I do about this?” And we ended up saying, “Okay, well, take your triptan and let's see what happens,” after trying some other things. And it worked, and it turned out to be the only thing that worked. And that's maybe something we wouldn't think about because we talk about pain all the time and that was really key to improving that person's quality of life. Or, you know, trying to figure out - if there's a situation that provokes an attack pretty reliably, how do we decide when this person is going to take their acute medication ahead of time to try and prevent that from happening? So, for example, somebody who always gets a migraine when they get on the airplane - can we maybe think about doing that? Is it part of the algorithm that we all think of? No, but it's what's right for that person. I feel like I am doing my best work when I really sit with the person and their individual story and listen to how they describe their experience, and then partner with them to come up with something that really works for their specific situation. Dr. Monteith: Give us a few tips. You mentioned the use of triptans, even thinking about most bothersome symptoms, associated symptoms. Let's say they tried the triptan, they have a severe migraine, and still with pain two hours later - what do we say? Dr Burch: Yeah, and I think this is - like I said at the beginning, this is where people often start to feel a little anxious sometimes; you've tried the triptan, it's not necessarily working - what do you do? I think there's a couple of things. First of all, triptans are still first line for migraine - in the absence of vascular risk factors, that's still what we start with. The guidelines ask us to try two different triptans before we try switching to a different class. So, the first thing - most people start with sumatriptan (it's the oldest one; it's usually covered well by insurance). So, first thing to ask is, what was the patient's experience with it? Was it not strong enough? Did it not work fast enough? Was it too strong? And then you think about - based on that response, are we going to go to eletriptan, which is kind of considered to be the strongest or most effective of the triptans? Are we going to go to rizatriptan, which is faster onset? Are we going to go to naratriptan or frovatriptan, which lasts longer? Then, if the second triptan doesn't work, we think about moving to a gepant - that's what the guidelines are currently recommending. The other thing to consider is whether someone needs an antinausea medication or an antiemetic, because if people are feeling queasy, they're worried about vomiting, then they may be reluctant to take medication. Or it could be that their GI system just isn't working as well, so we need to think about better absorption of the oral medications as well. There are lots of other tips and tricks also. I don't want to go through the whole list, but one of the things that I put in the article is a whole set of things to do if triptans are not effective or if your acute treatment is not effective. It's also things like making sure they're treating early, using combinations of medications - there's a whole list. Then that brings us to rescue therapy. And I think that's also essential; we don't talk enough about rescue therapy. We do think about it, but we think about it when we get the phone call to our clinic, where we get the message that says, “I took my treatment didn't work. And this is the second time this has happened. And I'm desperate, and what do I do?” That's not when you want to be managing this. You want to be managing this at the visit, before it happens. So, I think anybody who has an attack occasionally that doesn't respond to treatment needs a rescue plan. There's a bunch of different things you can do - I talk about this in the article as well - but some backup, like an injectable sumatriptan, might be helpful. Sometimes we use sedating medications to just try and help people go to sleep. I personally really like to give phenothiazine antiemetics because they have intrinsic antimigraine properties as well as being sedating and helping with nausea, so I sometimes use those. But there are a lot of different strategies and it's just worthwhile looking through them and getting comfortable with a few of them to give patients as a backup plan. Dr Monteith: I loved – I did love your tables. I love that you put the devices in the tables because usually when we think about neuromodulation, that's almost like usually a separate article. But you went ahead and combined it because all of the devices may have some acute benefits for patients. So, how do you think about devices? How do you talk to patients about devices? Dr Burch: Yeah, well, all of them were originally tested for acute treatment before their preventive indications. So, I think it's appropriate; if we're thinking about a plan, we want to have everything in one place, which is why I always include neuromodulation. The neuromodulation device that has the strongest evidence is remote electrical neuromodulation, which is the band that patient wears on their arm and uses as an acute strategy. The others may be helpful for individual patients, but I tend to lean towards the remote electrical neuromodulation as my acute treatment of choice just because of the strength of the evidence. I also haven't had as much trouble getting it for patients. The big barrier for all of these neuromodulation devices is cost because, relatively - I mean, they're not cheap and they're almost never covered by insurance (sometimes they are, but not always), and many of our patients are going to be able to access them and many of our patients are not. So, I'm always judicious in the way that I talk about them because I don't really want to put people in the situation of having to say, “I can't afford this thing that you think would be great for me.” Which, of course, comes up - not just with neuromodulation but with medication as well. But, you know, I think they're good for people who don't want to take medication or who are taking medications too often, and we need something to throw in there that is not a medication to prevent the development of medication overuse headache. Some people just prefer them. The evidence is not as strong for neuromodulation as it is for acute medications - and some of that just has to do with the challenges in blinding people to treatment arm in a clinical trial - but I think they have their place. Dr Monteith: When I'm just looking at the data, and then, as you mentioned, there are multiple options in terms of the latest developments. What are the things that you're most excited about in terms of either nonpharmacological, pharmacological interventions, or even patient populations like pregnant patients or patients with cardiovascular disease. Dr Burch: It is such an exciting time to be a headache specialist. I feel like things are coming out all the time, even in between writing this article and sending the final draft in, and now new things have come out. The zavegepant nasal spray is now FDA approved for acute treatment of migraine, and that was not the case when I wrote the final draft of this article. So, new formulations of medications are coming out and that's just really exciting. I think different patients prefer different things, and so I kind of like having different options to give them. I'm really interested in a couple of different things. There's been a lot of research coming out recently about the migraine prodrome - this sensation or symptom constellation that some patients get before what we think of as the more typical migraine – so, before the pain, maybe even before the more typical sensory hypersensitivity. Some patients know that an attack is coming, and there has been some research very recently coming out showing that, with gepants, taking the gepant before the attack actually happens in the prodromal phase can stave off an attack. I think that's cutting edge. I haven't really started talking to patients about it, but I'm interested to see what happens when that research is fully published and we kind of start test driving it. I'm also interested in the way that gepants don't seem to cause medication overuse headache in the same way that triptans or frequent use of NSAIDs do. I'm kind of thinking that the line between acute treatment and preventive treatment may start to get blurred a little bit with gepants. Dr Monteith: It's already blurred. Dr Burch: It's already blurred! It's pretty blurred, right? Dr Monteith: I agree. And it'd be cool to see an update on this article. It might need to be just a whole - imagine a whole kind of issue on its own, on just acute treatments. Dr Burch: Yes, for sure. Dr Monteith: Great. Thank you so much for being here. Dr Burch: Thanks. It's always a pleasure to talk to you, and I'm really excited for this article to make it out into the wild in the real world and for people to get a chance to take a look at it. Dr Monteith: Yeah, I know our listeners are going to love this article - they're going to get a lot out of it. And most importantly, their patients are going to get a lot out of it. Dr Burch: That's my goal. Dr Monteith: Again, today we've been interviewing Dr Rebecca Burch, whose article on acute treatment of migraine appears in the most recent issue of Continuum, on headache. Be sure to check out Continuum audio podcasts from this and other issues.

This week Steve and Yvonne interview Tom Bosworth of Bosworth Law (https://tombosworthlaw.com/).   Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here to Rate and Review   View/Download Trial Documents   Case Details: Attorney Tom Bosworth achieved a historic milestone by becoming the youngest lawyer in Pennsylvania to secure an eight-figure jury verdict as the lead counsel in a medical malpractice case for a living client. The case involved a medical malpractice victim who was awarded a $19.7 million verdict by a Philadelphia jury, due to a failure to diagnose. After years of seeing the same primary care physician, a woman's complaints about back pain and other symptoms were repeatedly dismissed. She sought the help of a neurologist, who discovered a mass on her spine. Unfortunately, the mass had already caused several complications, including incontinence, pain, and difficulty walking. As a result, she was left partially paralyzed and unable to continue working.   Guest Bio: Thomas Bosworth At age 33, Tom Bosworth became the youngest lawyer in the history of Pennsylvania to obtain a jury verdict in excess of $10 million for a living client as lead counsel (the total verdict being over $19 million). Three months prior to that, after two weeks as lead counsel at trial, Bosworth secured a $7 million settlement on behalf of a mother whose mentally disabled adult son wrongfully died in a group home. Bosworth also obtained multiple non-monetary terms in this settlement that were only agreed to by the defendant after two weeks of trial. In the past 5 years, Bosworth has been counsel on various additional jury trials and settlements totaling over $80 million. These cases included ones for medical malpractice, product liability, and wrongful death.   Recently, Bosworth was designated by the independent attorney group Super Lawyers as a Rising Star in Pennsylvania, a designation reserved for the top 2.5 percent of attorneys in the state who are 40 or younger or practicing 10 years or less. Bosworth attended Temple University Beasley School of Law from where he graduated in 2016 with magna cum laude and Order of the Coif distinction. During law school, Bosworth participated as a member of Temple's nationally ranked Trial Team and as a Research Editor of the Temple Law Review. Following law school, Bosworth was a law clerk to the Honorable Lawrence Stengel in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

In today's episode, hosted by the EBB Research Team, we are sharing the audio from a private livestream we did with our Pro Members at Evidence Based Birth. We talk about three major topics related to updated research evidence on doulas: 1) research on the pandemic's effect on the doula profession around the world, 2) research on the difference between community-based doulas and private or traditional doulas, and 3) new info on paying or getting reimbursement for doula care in the U.S. [NOTE FOR LIBSYN ONLY]: This podcast is also posted on our YouTube channel in case you want to access the video of our team teaching, and a screenshare of some of the evidence we're talking about! As a content note, this episode includes discussion of COVID-19, racism, and how a lack of postpartum coverage is in some cases tied to the same places that have abortion bans. Today's episode is taught by Rebecca Dekker, PhD, RN (she/her), Ihotu Ali, MPH (she/her), and Erin Wilson, MPH (she/her). Dr. Dekker is a nurse with her PhD who is the founder and CEO of EBB. Ihotu is a community-based doula, Maya abdominal massage therapist, doctoral student in chiropractic medicine, director of the Oshun Center for Intercultural Healing, and Research Editor at EBB. Erin is a clinical researcher, doula, childbirth educator, policy advocate, and Research Editor at EBB.

We at EBB want to see all doulas earn a living wage, regardless of which type of clients they serve (Commonwealth Fund: Issue Brief, 2021). Doulas can apply for a National Provider Identification (NPI) number. Here is a guide on how to apply and here is a link to the application through CMS. If you can get an NPI, it will increase your chances of getting paid through insurance/help your clients receive insurance reimbursement.

If you pull any decent history book off your shelf right now, odds are that it's filled with quotes from letters, diaries, or account books that help the author tell her story and provide the evidence for her interpretation of the past. It's almost always the case that the quotation you read in a book is just one snippet of a much longer document. Perhaps, for example, Catharine Greene's letters to her husband Nathanael offer the reader insight into some aspect of the family business she was running while Nathanael served in the southern theater of the War of Independence. But what about the rest of the document? What about the quiet moments when someone like Martha Washington asks after a family member, describes the state of their own health, or apologizes for a hurried scrawl, the result of the writer trying to catch the next post? And as valuable as collections like George Washington's papers are, how can we write more nuanced and complete histories of the American past by reading letters by early American women? On today's show, we welcome Kathryn Gehred, who is tackling that question by exploring the lives of early American women, one letter at a time. Gehred is a Research Editor at The Washington Papers Project based at the University of Virginia, where she is also on the team at the Center for Digital Editing, which is publishing documentary editions of historical manuscript collections online. Gehred is also the host of the new podcast, Your Most Obedient & Humble Servant. On each episode, Gehred and her guests break down a letter written by early American women and put it in context to show what is often obscured by the so-called juicier quotes you might find in your favorite book. Gehred joins Jim Ambuske today to talk about her podcast, how her training as an early American women's historian, Monticello tour guide, and documentary editor informs her approach to it, and some of the exciting letters she's discussed so far. And as a special treat, stick around after the credits role for a preview of Your Most Obedient & Humble Servant featuring Gehred's conversation with our colleague Samantha Snyder about a letter from Elizabeth Willing Powel to George Washington. About our Guest: Kathryn Gehred is a Research Editor at The Washington Papers Project at the University of Virginia. She is also on the staff of the Center for Digital Editing. A historian of early American women, Gehred is the host of the podcast Your Most Obedient & Humble Servant, a women's history podcast which showcases the kinds of eighteenth and early nineteenth-century women's letters that don't always make it into the history books.

In the second part of his analysis, Jon Sanders, Research Editor and Director of Regulatory Studies at the John Locke Foundation, examined 13 more studies cited by North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper to justify the statewide mask mandate.

The PCR tests we use are running at a 'cycle threshold' of 37. The CDC and world experts recommend no more than 33. Anything more is really padding the stats.

If you pull any decent history book off your shelf right now, odds are that it's filled with quotes from letters, diaries, or account books that help the author tell her story and provide the evidence for her interpretation of the past. It's almost always the case that the quotation you read in a book is just one snippet of a much longer document. Perhaps, for example, Catharine Greene's letters to her husband Nathanael offer the reader insight into some aspect of the family business she was running while Nathanael served in the southern theater of the War of Independence. But what about the rest of the document? What about the quiet moments when someone like Martha Washington asks after a family member, describes the state of their own health, or apologizes for a hurried scrawl, the result of the writer trying to catch the next post? And as valuable as collections like George Washington's papers are, how can we write more nuanced and complete histories of the American past by reading letters by early American women? On today's show, we welcome Kathryn Gehred, who is tackling that question by exploring the lives of early American women, one letter at a time. Gehred is a Research Editor at The Washington Papers Project based at the University of Virginia, where she is also on the team at the Center for Digital Editing, which is publishing documentary editions of historical manuscript collections online. Gehred is also the host of the new podcast, Your Most Obedient & Humble Servant. On each episode, Gehred and her guests break down a letter written by early American women and put it in context to show what is often obscured by the so-called juicier quotes you might find in your favorite book. Gehred joins Jim Ambuske today to talk about her podcast, how her training as an early American women's historian, Monticello tour guide, and documentary editor informs her approach to it, and some of the exciting letters she's discussed so far. And as a special treat, stick around after the credits role for a preview of Your Most Obedient & Humble Servant featuring Gehred's conversation with our colleague Samantha Snyder about a letter from Elizabeth Willing Powel to George Washington. About our Guest: Kathryn Gehred is a Research Editor at The Washington Papers Project at the University of Virginia. She is also on the staff of the Center for Digital Editing. A historian of early American women, Gehred is the host of the podcast Your Most Obedient & Humble Servant, a women's history podcast which showcases the kinds of eighteenth and early nineteenth-century women's letters that don't always make it into the history books. About our Host: Jim Ambuske, Ph.D. leads the Center for Digital History at the Washington Library. A historian of the American Revolution, Scotland, and the British Atlantic World, Ambuske graduated from the University of Virginia in 2016. He is a former Farmer Postdoctoral Fellow in Digital Humanities at the University of Virginia Law Library. At UVA Law, Ambuske co-directed the 1828 Catalogue Project and the Scottish Court of Session Project.  He is currently at work on a book about emigration from Scotland in the era of the American Revolution as well as a chapter on Scottish loyalism during the American Revolution for a volume to be published by the University of Edinburgh Press.
