Efficacy and effectiveness of anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies treatment in the prevention of cluster headache attacks: A systematic review and meta-analysis

= 0.68).ConclusionsOur analysis revealed a beneficial effect of anti-CGRP mAbs in eCH, while no effect was observed in cCH. Despite these positive findings, the favourable results with galcanezumab and eptinezumab in eCH should be interpreted with caution due to discrepancies in the outcome data and the challenges associated with selecting endpoints in CH trials. The discrepancy between real-world data and findings from controlled trials further highlights the need for continued discussions among experts to develop more adequate methods for conducting CH trials.Trial RegistrationPROSPERO ID: CRD420250609351.
