CGRP Inhibitors for Migraine.
Diksha Mohanty, Steven Lippmann
Abstract
Migraine headaches remain a significant medical concern; lots of people are adversely affected. Many existing pharmacotherapies have disappointing results. The pathophysiology is related to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathways. There is hope for better efficacy from the now-available CGRP inhibitor drugs made available to patients suffering these cephalgias.
