This patient education course offers healthcare providers a tool to help patients with migraine manage their symptoms by teaching them about behavioral prevention strategies, using SEEDS, and helping them to implement these strategies into their life.

SEEDS is a mnemonic that stands for:

  • Sleep

  • Exercise

  • Eat

  • Drink

  • Stress reduction

For successful migraine management, all healthcare providers who care for patients with migraine need to provide this type of patient education. Teaching this information can be daunting for the provider due to limitations for time, and overwhelming for patients due to the potential number of behaviors that may need to be addressed. Based on incorporating the literature with this topic, Dr. Farrell uses her experiences with this patient population to help healthcare providers be successful with educating patients about behavioral prevention strategies.

Audience
This course is relevant for all healthcare providers that treat patients with migraine.
