THIS ACTIVITY HAS EXPIRED
Valid for credit through: 6/25/2020

Start Activity

Target Audience and Goal Statement

This educational activity is intended for an audience of European neurologists and primary care physicians.

The goal of this activity is to improve physician awareness of the science of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in migraine prevention, key data on monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting CGRP, and clinical implications of these novel treatments.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will:

Have increased knowledge regarding the
- Benefits and limitations of currently available therapies for migraine prevention
- Mechanism of action of novel therapies in development for migraine prevention
- Latest efficacy and tolerability data for episodic and chronic migraine prevention therapies
