PocketGuides are trifold pocketcards containing society-endorsed consensus-based treatment guidelines in a brief algorithmic format that is most preferred by practicing clinicians, quality managers, nurses, educators, and medical students. The Migraine PocketGuide is endorsed by the American Headache Society (AHS) and based on the latest report by the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology. This practical quick-reference tool contains diagnosis, prevention, treatment, drug therapy, dosing information, and a diagnostic algorithm. The Migraine PocketGuide provides all that is needed to make accurate clinical decisions at the point of care including assessment; differential diagnosis; a diagnostic algorithm; prevention; primary and alternative treatments; acute treatment and prophylaxis; current medication tables with brand and generic names; and detailed drug information with strengths, formulations, and comments. Applications include point of care, education, QI interventions, clinical trials, medical reference, and clinical research.
