Patient Experiences with CGRP Medications - Spotlight on Migraine - Episode 28

In this episode, Shoshana Lipson shares anecdotal reports about using CGRP medications for migraine compiled by surveying the 6,000+ member Facebook group CGRP and Migraine Community, which she founded. She details the findings in four areas: Efficacy & expectations, adverse side effects, accessibility and information flow. Most importantly, her studies include a broader range of patients than those permitted in clinical trials, allowing for a potentially more realistic look into the implications and outcomes of using CGRP antagonists.
