Phoenix Children's Medical Connection
June 19, 2026
This Neuroscience Grand Rounds session, led by Ruying Fu, MD, highlights evidence-based strategies for acute, preventive and interventional migraine management in pediatric patients. Migraine care requires a comprehensive approach, combining rapid symptom relief with therapies that reduce frequency and severity over time.
The presentation reviews pharmacologic options alongside interventional and non-pharmacologic therapies including nerve blocks, botulinum toxin, neuromodulation, and lifestyle modifications to support individualized, multidisciplinary care and improve patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify evidence-based acute treatment strategies for migraine, including triptans, gepants, and non-specific analgesics.
- Describe preventive pharmacological treatment options for migraine, including oral medications and CGRP monoclonal antibodies.
- Recognize interventional procedures for migraine management, including botox injection and nerve blocks and non-pharmacological treatment approaches for migraine, including neuromodulation devices, lifestyle modifications.
