Recenzii

“The purpose is to detail ‘the assessment and evidence-based treatment of migraines in adults.’ This is a good review for all clinicians who may encounter patients with migraines in their practice. … There are numerous references and the text is well supplemented by many tables. This is a nice, simple primer on migraines, well referenced and easy to read. This would make a great addition to a primary care clinician's library.” (Vincent F. Carr, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2016)
