Abstract

Highlights • Anti-CGRP-mAbs change cortical thickness after 3-month treatment.• Decreased thickness was observed in specific cortical regions in the responders.• Results could reflect recovery process from the hyperexcitable brain state in migraine.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
