Welcome to the Migraine Hub!
Migraine affects approximately 44 million people in the United States and one billion people globally. The personal, professional, and financial costs through lost productivity and quality of life are immense. Despite its prevalence and impact on individuals, families, and society, migraine is under-recognized, underdiagnosed, and undertreated.
Interviews with patients integrated into the educational activities uncovered chronic migraine episodes that sidelined careers,
New agents targeting the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway have shown great promise and have led to excitement within the migraine community. Our goal for the Migraine Digital Hub is to provide educational activities, clinical information, resources, and assessment for the diagnosis and management of migraine. Our end goal is to improve the lives of individuals with migraine.
Getting Ahead of Migraine: Integrating Preventive Strategies Into Migraine Care
Migraine is a debilitating condition with profound effects on individuals’ quality of life, accounting for five to nine million primary care visits each year. It is estimated that 38% of sufferers could benefit from preventative treatment, but few are currently using them nor are their healthcare providers discussing these options with them. Consequently, there is great interest in emerging data about calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) agents as novel options for migraine prevention and the benefits they may provide to patients.
