Allergen-specific sublingual immunotherapy in the treatment of migraines: a prospective study

In patients with allergic rhinitis, migraine development and course may have a significant allergic component. Assessment of migraineurs for the possibility of co-existing allergic rhinitis is justified. Treatment of allergic rhinitis by immune response modifiers, such as immunotherapy, may have a place in the management of migraines for these patients.

The allergic patients in this study with migrane were successfully treated with sublingual immunotherapy.
