Nonpharmacological self-management of migraine across social locations: an equity-oriented, qualitative analysis.
The authors conducted focus groups to explore patients’ desires and recommendations for migraine clinicians and researchers. They identified 4 themes: a more holistic, collaborative, long-term treatment approach; medication as a short-term solution; high personal and economic costs of medication; and desire for more information about and access to natural approaches. The authors concluded that holistic and integrative approaches were preferred over medication as long-term migraine management strategies; however, people in marginalized social locations, while disproportionately disabled by migraine, did not feel as comfortable accessing integrative approaches through currently available channels.
