Abstract

Treatment target goals for patients receiving preventive migraine treatment are complicated to assess and not achieved by most patients. A headache “number” could establish an understandable treatment target goal for patients with chronic migraine (CM). This study investigates the clinical impact of reduced headache frequency to ≤ 4 monthly headache days (MHDs) as a treatment-related migraine prevention target goal.
