Objective: To compare pediatric migraine treatment efficacy in the emergency department before and after the implementation of a comprehensive migraine initiative, consisting of a standardized treatment protocol, provider educational series and standardized physician documentation template.
Background: Pediatric migraine is common, accounting for 1% of pediatric emergency department visits. Yet there is large variability in treatment practices, with few studies looking into measures of both clinical effectiveness and timeliness of treatment following implementation of standardized protocols.
