Abstract

Purpose: Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) is a key peptide released during trigeminal system‐initiated migraine attacks. Evidence suggests that lacosamide can inhibit CGRP release. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of lacosamide in patients with chronic migraine.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design.
