Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of parenteral agents to reduce relapse in patients with acute migraine and identify factors that predict relapse.

Background: Following discharge from emergency settings, many patients with acute migraine will experience a relapse in pain; severe relapses may result in re-visits to emergency settings.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search, updated to 2023, was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials assessing the effectiveness of parenteral agents on relapse outcomes in patients with acute migraine discharged from emergency settings.

Purpose: Health care systems have historically struggled to provide adequate care for patients with complex care needs that often result in overuse of hospital and emergency department resources. Patients with complex care needs generally have increased expenses, longer length of hospital stays, an increased need for care management resources during hospitalization, and high readmission rates. Mayo Clinic in Arizona aimed to ensure successful transitions for hospitalized patients with complex care needs to the community by developing a complex care transition team (CCTT) program.

Objectives: Adjunct therapy with anticholinergic agents has been proposed to reduce the incidence of extrapyramidal side effects such as akathisia following treatment with neuroleptics or metoclopramide. This systematic review assessed the effectiveness of anticholinergic agents to prevent neuroleptic or metoclopramide-induced akathisia in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with benign headache.

Methods: Eight electronic databases and the gray literature were searched to identify randomized controlled trials involving adult patients presenting to the ED with primary headache treated with neuroleptic or metoclopramide.
