The End of Migraines: 150 Ways to Stop Your Pain, 2nd Edition

“Dr. Mauskop has treated thousands of patients with migraine during decades of clinical experience. He is a gifted educator and this volume showcases his extraordinary ability to condense evidence and clinical observation into pithy analysis and practical suggestions. His goal is to describe and evaluate the immense amount of information available about the diverse strategies—self-management, behavioral, and medical—that have been shown to impact the occurrence and treatment of migraine. The work will be empowering for those who suffer with this malady and will provide a foundation for lifestyle decisions and discussions with health professions about migraine therapy.” RUSSELL K. PORTENOY, MD, Professor of Neurology and Family and Social Medicine Albert Einstein College of Medicine “The End of Migraines: 150 ways to stop your pain by Alexander Mauskop, is a remarkable book, and brings something new to the library of headache resources for patients. Dr. Mauskop, a longtime advocate for non-medicinal treatments for headaches, covers every imaginable option here from supplements to herbal treatments to many lifestyle and behavioral strategies. But he draws on his solid academic background (he is a professor and researcher) to also enumerate the pharmaceutical and device treatment options as well. And based on his extensive experience in treating thousands of people with migraine, he rates each of the treatment choices contained in this book as more or less likely to be useful. As he explains in the wonderfully written introductory section of the book, Dr. Mauskop’s approach is not always based on evidence, but rather it is designed to fill gaps where evidence is lacking. The reader finds a world of options for reducing the burden of migraine, and as a result, regains hope. The writing style is clear and concise, and readers will have the sense that they are sitting with Dr. Mauskop, and hearing his advice first hand. The hyperlinks throughout the text expand options for delving more deeply into many topics. This is
