Abstract
Results In total, 69 patients with migraine had newly introduced CGRP-mAb, and 34 patients had MOH (49.3%). The mean±standard deviation patient age was 44±15.5 years old. The study population included 24 women (70.6%). The types of CGRP-mAb used were galcanezumab in 16 patients (47.0%), fremanezumab in 10 (29.4%), and erenumab in 8 (23.5%). The mean disease duration was 19.6±13.1 years. The types of migraine diagnosis were chronic migraine in 28 patients (82.4%) and migraine with aura in 11 patients (32.4%). The mean number of headache days in the month before administration of CGRP-mAb was 22±7.7 days; 1 month after administration, the MHD was 16.9±9.1 days. The change in MHD was -5.7 days (22.7%), indicating significant improvement (p<0.05).
