Key clinical point: Clinical characteristics differed significantly among patients with migraine who experienced ≥75% (super-responders [SR]) vs ≤25% (non-responders [NR]) reduction in monthly headache days in the third month after initiating prophylactic treatment with calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor (CGRP-R) monoclonal antibodies (mAb).
Major finding: SR vs NR were more likely to report vomiting (P = .031) and a significant improvement in acute migraine headache with triptan treatment (P = .010). However, NR vs SR experienced chronic migraine (P = .001), medication overuse headache (P = .024), and concomitant depression (P = .005) more frequently.
Study details: This was a retrospective real-world study including 260 patients with migraine who received ≥1 treatment with CGRP-R mAbs for migraine prevention, of which 29 and 26 were SR and NR, respectively.
Disclosures: This study did not report the source of funding. Four authors declared receiving research grants, personal fees, or honoraria for consulting and lectures from various sources.
