Abstract

Chronic migraine is a highly disabling primary headache disorder that is the most common diagnosis of patients seen in tertiary headache centres. Typical oral preventive therapies are associated with many limitations that impact their therapeutic utility. Erenumab was the first available calcitonin gene-related peptide monoclonal antibody (CGRP-mAB) in the UK. It had proven efficacy in migraine prevention in clinical trials and limited real-world data in tertiary settings.
