Treatment of Vestibular Migraine in Status Migrainosus

When vestibular migraine occurs in the context of status migrainosus, a specific evidence-based intervention is indicated. This is a clinically distinct situation that calls for a targeted, consensus-supported approach rather than standard migraine rescue measures.

Clinical Situation

Status migrainosus is a severe, prolonged migraine state that has not resolved through typical means. Vestibular migraine presenting in this setting requires prompt, protocol-driven management.

Treatment Approach

Expert consensus supports a single-dose corticosteroid administration. The full protocol specifies which agents qualify, how to choose between them, and all relevant clinical guidance — available via the link below.

Treatment Goals

The primary targets are reduction in headache intensity and reduction of recurrent headache.
