Key clinical point: Long-term eptinezumab treatment showed benefits in patients with chronic migraine (CM) who had concomitant medication-overuse headache (MOH).

Major findings: After eptinezumab treatment, the average number of headache days per 3 months reduced from 15.8 days (mean 47.5 headache days/month) at baseline to 3.8 days (mean 11.3 headache days/month) at 104 weeks, along with reductions observed in the Migraine Disability Assessment (mean change −51.9 points) and 6-item Headache Impact Test (mean change −9.7 points) scores. More than half (57.1%) the patients showed an improvement in their patient-identified most bothersome symptom at as early as 4 weeks.

Study details: This post hoc analysis of the PREVAIL study included 49 patients with CM and concomitant MOH.

Disclosures: This publication was supported by H. Lundbeck A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark. Two authors declared being employees of H. Lundbeck A/S. The other authors declared having ties with various sources, including H. Lundbeck A/S.
