New Treatment Approaches

Innovations in Migraine Treatment

CGRP Inhibitors

The most important development in recent years. CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) is a substance that increases during migraine attacks. These drugs block CGRP or its receptor:
- As monthly or quarterly injections
- Orally (gepants)
- Particularly effective for chronic migraine

Neuromodulation Devices

• Transcutaneous supraorbital stimulation (Cefaly): Nerve stimulation via forehead band
• Vagus nerve stimulation (gammaCore): Stimulation of the vagus nerve in the neck
• Can be preferred as a drug-free alternative

Digital Therapies

• Mobile app-based CBT programs
• Biofeedback devices
• AI-assisted attack prediction

Important

Treatment decisions should always be made together with your doctor. Finding the right treatment may take time, be patient.
