Effectiveness and tolerability of liraglutide as add‐on treatment in patients with obesity and high‐frequency or chronic migraine: A prospective pilot study
Our findings show that liraglutide may be effective in the treatment of unresponsive high-frequency or chronic migraine in patients with obesity, and that this effect is independent from weight loss. Although further studies are needed to clarify this topic, these findings generate the hypothesis that a derangement in ICP control may play a role in migraine pathogenesis and potentially represent a novel therapeutic target.
