Background Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) inhibitors have been developed as options for treatment of chronic and episodic migraine. We present our experience of the use of erenumab in a tertiary headache centre. Methods This was a prospective clinical audit of all patients commenced on erenumab following a locally agreed pathway and criteria over a consecutive period.
Conclusion: Erenumab was an effective treatment for chronic migraine in this treatment resistant population over 3 months of follow up. Presence of daily headache predicted poorer response but there was still a significant positive response rate in this group.
