Approximately 30%-40% of people with migraine are not successfully treated using a triptan, for reasons of insufficient efficacy and/or tolerability
In a review of clinical studies, only 18%-33% of patients achieve sustained freedom from pain, and 20%-34% of patients require rescue medication
Frequent use of medication for the acute treatment of migraine attacks can lead to medication-overuse headache (MOH)
Oral preventive treatments like anticonvulsants and beta-blockers are associated with AEs such as weight gain, fatigue and cognitive issues
In a survey of 372 patients with migraine, more would prefer to take a pill (63.4%) as a preventive treatment than an injection (36.6%).
11% of patients with migraine have a history of cardiovascular events that make them unsuitable for triptans
