About This Webinar
Migraine is a complex, chronic disease that results in significant patient and economic burden. Migraine ranks second worldwide in terms of years lost due to disability. Direct annual all cause healthcare costs for a person with migraine is over twice that of a person without migraine. Indirect costs from the impact of the disease on a patient’s ability to function (absenteeism and presenteeism) total over $35B annually.
Individuals with migraine may experience increasing frequency of headaches over months or years, which can lead to chronic migraine. Chronic migraine is a disease defined by headache occurring at least 15 days per month with at least 50% having migraine characteristics. It is important to appropriately manage a person with chronic migraine. One of the main goals of chronic migraine preventive therapy is to reduce headache day frequency. Utilizing a stratified care approach (tailored to the individual taking into attack profile, associated symptoms, level of disability and patient preference), to preventive chronic migraine treatment is key to accomplish this goal.
