The changing face of migraine

The changing face of migraine

Neuer InhaltMigraine management has long relied on medication developed to treat other conditions. However, after years of anticipation, the emergence of a new class of preventative drugs, created bespoke for migraine is now within our grasp. Targeted prophylactic migraine treatment is becoming a reality and the neuropeptide, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays a central role in this breakthrough.
Migraine, as a multisystemic disease, has always been conceptualized in the cardio-cerebrovascular compartment, and the monoclonal antibodies directed toward CGRP or its receptor, which do not pass the blood brain barrier, further validates this standpoint. The long-term trial data on these CGRP-targeting treatments is beginning to emerge and is proving them to be promising Disease-Modifying Migraine Drugs (DMMDs).
This Topical Collection explores the changing face of migraine and examines where we are in meeting the long-standing unmet need of a more individualized and targeted approach.
The APCs (article processing charges) for the articles in this thematic series ‘The changing face of migraine’ were made possible through independent educational sponsorship by Eli Lilly. Eli Lilly provided the funds through an educational grant which included enduring materials within the context of a symposium at the 12th European Headache Federation Congress in September 2018, chaired by Paolo Martelletti.  This grant was provided to Springer Healthcare IME who organized the symposium and all of the enduring materials. Three of the articles in this thematic series were developed from content presented at the symposium.  Eli Lilly were not involved in the planning of the thematic series, the selection process for topics, nor in any peer review or decision-making processes. 
The articles have undergone the journal’s standard peer review process overseen by the Editor-in-Chief.  For articles where the Editor-in-Chief is an author, the peer review process was overseen by one of the other Editors responsible for this thematic series.
