Chronic migraine (CM) is a significant public health problem that affects 2.2% of the global population. Onabotulinumtoxin A (OnabotA) is a safe and effective prophylactic treatment for patients with CM. The standard injection interval for OnabotA is 12 weeks. Nevertheless, some patients experience a wearing-off effect (WOE) in the weeks preceding the next scheduled cycle. The objectives of this study are to determine the prevalence of early WOE, to analyze variables that could be clinical predictors and to specify which interval is the most appropriate to define the existence of this phenomenon.
