RATIONALE FOR RETIREMENT

The 2012 AAN guideline “Evidence-based guideline update: NSAIDS and other complementary treatments for episodic migraine prevention in adults” has been retired by the AAN Board of Directors on September 16, 2015, due to serious safety concerns with a preventative treatment, butterbur, recommended by this guideline. The recommendations and conclusions in all retired guidelines are considered no longer valid and no longer supported by the AAN. Retired guidelines will remain available on our website for reference use only. If you would like more information on this guideline or the guideline process, please email guidelines{at}aan.com.
