  • Contrast CGRP monoclonal antibodies and small molecule antagonist for migraine against traditional treatment options used to treat migraine
  • Identify clinician barriers to optimal management of migraine
  • Describe the clinical consequences of nonadherence in patients with migraine and how they may be adequately addressed
