What backs it

Updated guidelines released by the American Headache Society and American Academy of Neurology—their first update since 2012—recommend preventive treatment for people with four or more migraine days per month, reflecting at least six new FDA-approved medications including CGRP-targeting therapies like atogepant, eptinezumab, and erenumab.

Worth noting

Guidelines recommend preventive treatment but do not guarantee access or insurance coverage.
