The evidence for treating an acute migraine attack is adequate but, for treating subsequent attacks, is limited in quality and quantity. So, for treating acute migraine, this procedure should only be used with special arrangements for clinical governance, consent, and audit or research. Find out what special arrangements mean on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.
The evidence for preventing migraine is inadequate in quality. So, for preventing migraine, this procedure should only be used in the context of research. Find out what only in research means on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.
