Effectiveness of Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Receptor Antagonists for Migraine Treatment: A Meta-Analysis.

Authors

Abstract

The pathophysiology of migraine has been researched incessantly, and it has been suggested that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is associated with migraine attacks. CGRP receptor blockers are attracting attention as potential agents for migraine prevention and treatment of acute episodes. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the effects of available CGRP receptor antagonists, focusing on their therapeutic doses for acute migraine treatment.
