Real-world effectiveness of eptinezumab in chronic migraine—increase in good days in three subgroups: psychiatric comorbidities, prior subcutaneous anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide therapy, and migraine-associated brain fog
This post hoc analysis of REVIEW showed that eptinezumab treatment can provide patient-perceived benefits across a spectrum of individuals with CM, including those with psychiatric comorbidities, in real-world settings. A greater number of good days regardless of number of prior mAb therapy supports the use of eptinezumab earlier for individuals with CM, rather than cycling through multiple anti-CGRP therapies. Furthermore, good days can provide a meaningful and measurable endpoint to assess preventive treatment and is correlated with improvements in brain fog.
