Optimization of acute medication use following eptinezumab initiation during a migraine attack: post hoc analysis of the RELIEF study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The benefits of preventive treatment on the effectiveness of migraine management have rarely been examined. This post hoc analysis investigated the impact of eptinezumab on the optimization of acute medication effectiveness using the 4-item Migraine Treatment Optimization Questionnaire (mTOQ-4) to measure acute medication optimization over 4 weeks post-infusion.

Methods

RELIEF was a 12-week, phase 3, multicenter, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted in patients aged 18-75 years with a ≥ 1-year history of migraine and 4-15 migraine days per month in the 3 months prior to screening.
