Overview
New Horizons in Migraine Prevention: Pathways to Personalized Care with CGRPs—the Year in Review
Live Streaming Satellite Symposium!
Registration is closed for this activity.
Join an expert faculty panel as they discuss incorporating anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies into daily clinical practice for migraine prevention. The 90-minute live streaming satellite symposium will integrate didactic presentation, the patient experience, and expert review of clinical evidence, guideline recommendations, special considerations, and real-world use.
This activity is intended for neurologists, headache specialists, pain specialists, NPs, PAs, and other HCPs who treat patients with migraine disorder.
Migraines represent a common, debilitating disorder that continues to be both undertreated and underdiagnosed. Ninety-five percent of chronic migraine patients do not receive appropriate diagnosis or care, and the few that do, suffer from poor long-term treatment adherence. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies are an emerging preventative migraine therapy class that offer benefits over traditional systemic prophylaxis. This activity will review best practices for incorporating CGRP mAbs into daily clinical practice.
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
• Develop effective strategies for incorporating CGRP mABs into daily clinical practice
• Formulate comprehensive management plans for migraine patients on preventative treatment
• Review current treatment guidelines and patient eligibility for use of CGRP mABs
