Target Audience and Goal Statement

This activity is intended for neurologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants, and other healthcare professionals involved in the management of patients with neurological conditions.

The goal of this activity is for learners to be better able to understand the recent research suggesting that taking calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) combined with CGRP receptor antagonists (RAs [gepants]) appears to be safe and effective for migraine. Emerging evidence like this is very promising for patients who suffer from this debilitating neurological condition. This session will explore the use of novel CGRP mAbs and CGRP receptor antagonists for the management of migraine.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will:

  1. Describe the prevalence and key causes of suboptimal migraine management despite available treatment options.
  2. Evaluate the mechanisms of action, most recent efficacy and safety data, and administration considerations associated with current and emerging therapies for the treatment and prevention of migraine.
  3. Assess patient response to current therapy and integrate novel migraine therapies as appropriate into patient-centered care strategies.
