Background And Objectives: Ubrogepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist approved for the acute treatment of migraine. The PRODROME trial previously demonstrated that ubrogepant treatment during prodrome prevents the onset of moderate or severe headache. In this analysis of the PRODROME trial, the benefits of ubrogepant treatment during the prodrome on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are evaluated.

December 2019

From the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (R.B.L., D.C.B.), Bronx, NY; Vedanta Research (K.M.F., M.L.R.), Chapel Hill, NC; University of Cincinnati Headache and Facial Pain Center (V.T.M.), University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, OH; CHC Group, LLC (L.B.H.), North Wales, PA; Allergan plc (A.M.A.), Irvine, CA; NIHR-Wellcome Trust King's Clinical Research Facility (P.J.G.), King's College, London, UK; and Department of Neurology (P.J.G.), University of California, San Francisco.

Objective: To test the hypothesis that statistically defined subgroups of migraine (based on constellations of comorbidities and concomitant conditions; henceforth comorbidities), previously identified using Chronic Migraine Epidemiology and Outcomes (CaMEO) Study data, differ in prognosis, as measured by rates of progression from episodic migraine (EM) to chronic migraine (CM).

Methods: The onset of CM was assessed up to 4 times over 12 months in individuals with EM and ≥1 comorbidity at baseline, based on constellations of comorbidities (comorbidity classes). The "fewest comorbidities" class served as reference.

B.M.G. was affiliated with Montefiore Headache Center, Bronx, NY, at the time of study completion.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and tolerability of noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) for the prevention of chronic migraine (CM) attacks.

Methods: In this first prospective, multicenter, double-blind, sham-controlled pilot study of nVNS in CM prophylaxis, adults with CM (≥15 headache d/mo) entered the baseline phase (1 month) and were subsequently randomized to nVNS or sham treatment (2 months) before receiving open-label nVNS treatment (6 months). The primary endpoints were safety and tolerability.

Ineffective acute treatment of episodic migraine is associated with new-onset chronic migraine.

Neurology

February 2015

Objective: To test the hypothesis that ineffective acute treatment of episodic migraine (EM) is associated with an increased risk for the subsequent onset of chronic migraine (CM).

Methods: In the American Migraine Prevalence and Prevention Study, respondents with EM in 2006 who completed the Migraine Treatment Optimization Questionnaire (mTOQ-4) and provided outcome data in 2007 were eligible for analyses. The mTOQ-4 is a validated questionnaire that assesses treatment efficacy based on 4 aspects of response to acute treatment.

Objective: To determine whether the known higher prevalence of migraine in lower household (HH) income groups is explained by a higher incidence rate or a lower remission rate.

Methods: We used data from the American Migraine Prevalence and Prevention Study, a US national sample of 132,674 females (with a 64.3% response rate) and 124,665 males (with a 62.
