Migraine (Prophylaxis) | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2022

According to Clarivate epidemiology, more than 30 million people in the United States experience migraines. Migraine prophylaxis, despite being underused, is a core treatment approach to reduce the frequency, severity, and duration of migraines. Prescription options include a diverse mix of on- and off-label oral drugs—AbbVie / Allergan’s Botox, four anti-CGRP MAbs, and most recently, two oral CGRP antagonists. Prophylaxis is both individualized and dynamic, as physicians adjust regimens to improve outcomes and/or avoid side effects. Understanding this patient journey provides needed context for new and existing players as the prophylactic market becomes increasingly competitive.
