Webinar Description: This webinar is the first of a 3-part series on the intersection of migraine and opioid use disorder (OUD). Patients with headache commonly report overlapping chronic pain disorders, and may also experience comorbid OUD. Following a brief review of the epidemiology of chronic pain, headache, and OUD, the faculty will describe the intersection of these common conditions, with a focus on comorbid migraine and OUD, particularly in the setting of medication-overuse headache (MOH). An understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying pain and headache will help to guide patient assessment and treatment. The faculty will present data to support an opioid-sparing approach to headache due to potential comorbid OUD and multiple other reasons, and describe non-opioid pharmacologic treatments for migraine to consider in the management of patients with comorbid OUD, while acknowledging the importance of treatment for OUD.

Educational Objectives:

• Describe the intersection between OUD and migraine, particularly in the setting of MOH
• Employ diagnostic approaches to migraine based on underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms
• Apply non-opioid pharmacologic treatments for migraine in patients with comorbid OUD

Accreditation: The American Academy of Pain Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Credit Designation: The American Academy of Pain Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity
