Migraine – Current Treatment – Detailed, Expanded Analysis – Migraine Prophylaxis (US)

According to DRG epidemiology, more than 30 million people in the United States experience migraines, and more than 10% of migraineurs have chronic migraine (CM). Migraine prophylaxis is a core treatment approach for high-frequency episodic and CM patients to reduce migraine frequency, severity, and duration. Current drug treatment primarily includes a mix of off-label and approved drugs from a range of drug classes, including antiepileptic drugs, beta blockers, antidepressants, AbbVie / Allergan’s Botox, and multiple anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), the first migraine-specific preventive brands. Prophylactic treatment is evolving as the number of agents from which to choose increases. With new oral CGRP receptor antagonists (Biohaven’s Nurtec ODT, AbbVie / Allergan’s atogepant) poised to enter the prophylactic segment, understanding patient pathways and the drivers of treatment decision-making are key for new players bringing novel brands to this large, underserved, and mostly generic market.
