Key clinical point: A meta-analysis of real-world studies provided strong evidence that erenumab was effective and safe in patients with migraine.

Major finding: At 3 months, erenumab significantly reduced monthly migraine days (mean difference [MD] −7.18 days), monthly headache days (MD 6.89 days), headache impact test-6 scores (MD 6.97), medication days (MD 6.22 days), acute monthly intake (MD 15.75), and pain intensity (MD 1.71), and the results were consistent at 6 and 12 months. The proportion change difference of any adverse event was 0.34 and 0.43 at 6 and 12 months, respectively, with constipation being the most common adverse event (0.19 and 0.20 at 6 and 12 months, respectively).

Study details: Findings are from a meta-analysis of 53 real-world studies including 6509 patients with migraine who were treated with erenumab.

 

Disclosures: This study was funded by the University of Castilla – La Mancha, Spain. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
