Migraine | Current Treatment: Physician Insights | Migraine Prophylaxis | EU5 | 2018

According to DRG epidemiology, more than 33 million people in the EU5 suffer from migraines and over 10% of migraineurs suffer from chronic migraine (CM). Migraine prophylaxis is a core treatment approach for high-frequency EM and CM patients to reduce migraine frequency, severity, and duration. Drug treatment primarily includes a mix of off-label and approved AEDs, beta blockers, TCAs, and Botox (Allergan’s onabotulinumtoxinA), the only agent approved specifically for CM. With many agents to choose from and a heterogeneous patient population, prophylactic treatment is individualized, complex, and evolves over time. Understanding patient pathways and drivers of treatment decision-making is key for new players bringing novel brands to this large and underserved, but mostly generic drug, market.
