Individual practices vary. You may go to another ER and find they treat migraines completely differently. I tend to not use opioids for migraines after the patient has failed non-opioid treatments, others use opioids as first line therapy. Also depends on the patient - some patients go to the ER and say "only xxx works for my 'migraines'" and have the expectation that they will get whatever they demand. If I am busy and don't have time to discuss the issue of narcotic rebound headaches, I will just given them their shot, discharge them, and move on.
Sometimes, it depends on throughput.
