At one of the seminars I attended at a recent American Headache Society Symposium, the question was posed, “Is There a Role for Opioids and Bultalbital-Containing Medications in the Treatment of Headache?”
As part of the “Controversies in Headache Medicine” series for the symposium, what made it particularly interesting was that it included speakers on both sides of the debate. Far from the one-sided presentation expected, given the prevailing current attitudes towards opioids, what ensued was a fascinating and thought-provoking session that ended up leaving much on the table to be considered.
