Podcast 531: Migraine Cocktail

Contributor: Don Stader, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • The classic migraine cocktail includes: Reglan (or other dopamine antagonist), Benadryl, Toradol, Decadron, and IV fluids.
  • The most effective agent in the cocktail is a dopaminergic agent
  • Routine IV fluids have not shown efficacy
  • There is no evidence for pre-treatment of akathisia with diphenhydramine (Benadryl)
  • Decadron reduces rebound headache
  • Consider trigger point injections for those with migraine attributable to cervical neck pain.
