Abstract

Migraine is a prevalent and extremely disabling brain disorder, with an impact on the individual, family, workplace and society. This review focuses on describing Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide Monoclonal Antibodies (CGRP-mABs) efficacy on improving the quality of life (QoL) and decreasing the disability and impact of migraine measured with patient related outcomes (PROs), on patients who participated in clinical trials with erenumab, fremanezumab, galcanezumab and eptinezumab. The goal is to better reflect the effect of these preventive migraine treatments in the daily life of our patients.
