CME Information: CGRP Migraine
CGRP Blockade: The Evolving Landscape of Migraine Therapy
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Summarize the underlying mechanism of CGRP and its role in the development of migraine
- Assess the relative safety and efficacy of CGRP monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of acute and chronic migraine
- Address issues of nonadherence in patients with migraine
Activity Description
Migraine headache is a common, disabling neurological disorder affecting nearly 40 million individuals in the United States. Migraine is frequently encountered in the primary care setting and is the fourth leading cause of Emergency Department visits. Nearly 90% of migraine sufferers experience moderate-to-severe pain during an attack and 75% have reduced ability to function normally during a migraine. Despite its well-established morbidity, disability and burden of disease, migraine remains poorly understood, with a high number of patients underdiagnosed and untreated; only a small number take migraine prophylaxis. Although therapies are available to treat migraine, many are associated with adverse effects and suboptimal response when used prophylactically. Thus, clinicians face a number of challenges in managing migraine.
Importantly, the development of CGRP monoclonal antibodies offers promise in managing migraine headache. However, clinicians must be intimately familiar with these agents and how they can be best incorporated into daily clinical practice for patients with migraine headache. Clinician education on these promising therapies, as well as education on the recognition, diagnosis, overall disease management and strategies to address patient nonadherence, will greatly improve outcomes in patients with migraine headache.
