See original article:

In the special article “Evidence-based guideline update: Pharmacologic treatment for episodic migraine prevention in adults: Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology and the American Headache Society” by S.D. Silberstein et al. (Neurology 2012;78:1337–1345), there are errors in table 1 and the text on page 1342. Due to changes in the AAN’s LOE classification criteria, pindolol and clonidine should have been labeled as having Level U recommendations and nicardipine should have been listed as having a Level C recommendation. These changes are based on studies cited in the original 2001 guideline; no new studies were found in the literature search for the 2012 update. Please see the corrected table below.The authors regret the errors.
