Authors' recommendations:
Several self-administered drugs appear to be effective for the treatment of acute migraine. The inconclusive comparisons among classes of drugs and individual agents suggest that the choice among alternatives for the treatment of acute migraine may, for the present, depend more on side effects and contraindications than on data about efficacy.
