Impact of Baseline Characteristics on the Efficacy and Safety of Eptinezumab in Patients With Migraine: Subgroup Analyses of PROMISE-1 and PROMISE-2.

Purpose: In the PROMISE-1 (Prevention of Migraine via Intravenous ALD403 Safety and Efficacy-1) and PROMISE-2 (Prevention of Migraine via Intravenous ALD403 Safety and Efficacy-2) clinical trials, eptinezumab 100 mg and 300 mg met the primary efficacy end point, significantly reducing mean monthly migraine days across weeks 1 to 12. Clinical efficacy was also shown across key secondary end points. However, to determine if clinical efficacy varies across subgroups, it is necessary to determine efficacy in patients with different sociodemographic features and headache characteristics.

Implementation of effective, self-sustaining headache services in the Republic of Georgia: Evaluation of their impact on headache-related disability and quality of life of people with headache.

Background Headache disorders are widespread and disabling. They are common in Georgia, especially headache on ≥15 days/month (HA ≥ 15), but there are no headache services. Objective We established headache services meeting local needs, investigating feasibility, consumer uptake and satisfaction, and cost, with an exit strategy bequeathing effective, self-sustaining services that could be rolled out nationwide.

Headache service quality: evaluation of quality indicators in 14 specialist-care centres.
