Nerve Blocks and Neurostimulation in the Treatment of Migraine

    • Peripheral nerve and sphenopalatine ganglion blocks are a safe, effective treatment option for headache disorders, including migraine, although the evidence remains mixed for chronic migraine prophylaxis.
    • Neurostimulation has emerged as an effective treatment modality for migraine, with both noninvasive and minimally invasive options available.
    • Safe, effective, and noninvasive neurostimulation therapies available for migraine include transcutaneous supraorbital nerve stimulation for prophylaxis and single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation for the acute treatment of migraine with aura.
    • Occipital nerve stimulation may be effective for some patients with intractable chronic migraine, although the evidence is mixed and procedure-related complications are common.
    • Noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation and implanted sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation are emerging treatment options that may be useful for both acute and prophylactic treatment of episodic and chronic migraine.

Group Psychotherapy: Development of a Successful Group

    • Cognitive therapy groups address understanding and changing cognitive processes that interact with behavioral, affective, environmental, physiologic, and developmental processes.
    • Group therapy with eating disorders yielded similar effectiveness individual psychotherapy, self-help, behavioral weight-loss, and pharmacotherapy.
    • Group therapy for social anxiety disorder also obtained large positive effects compared to waitlist control groups and demonstrated equivalence to alternative treatment options.

Acid-Base Disorders

    • Detailed physiology of acid-base homeostasis to provide a clearer understanding of the pathophysiology of acid-base disorders
    • Updated information on the treatment of metabolic acidosis, including the use of tromethamine and bicarbonate
