Migraine is one of the most common and most disabling neurological diseases. Migraine treatment is aimed at reducing the intensity and duration of the headache attack itself and other bothersome symptoms, as well as at reducing the number of migraine days. Although some existing principles continue to apply, a significant shift in both acute and prophylactic therapy has been noted. The basic mechanism of the innovative treatment is the influence of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) or its receptor with monoclonal antibodies or small molecules, gepants.

Keywords: migraine, treatment, CGRP, monoclonal antibodies, gepants.
