March 27, 2013 updated by: Todd J. Schwedt, Mayo Clinic
The objective of this study is to identify reasons migraine patients stop using triptan medications for abortive headache treatment. It is hypothesized that inadequate education of the patient at the time of prescribing the triptan is positively associated with triptan discontinuation.
