Statement of Need

With this CME Outfitters Briefcase activity, we will delve into a patient case interaction, set in a primary care/women’s health setting, to explore critical concepts in migraine management. Despite advancements, unmet needs persist for patients with migraine, especially among women, marginalized communities, and those who seek care in emergency settings. Addressing these disparities requires prioritizing accurate diagnosis and the implementation of appropriate pharmacotherapy, while considering social determinants of health and access to care. 

Given the recent position statement from the American Headache Society endorsing calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonists (CGRP-RAs) for first-line prevention of migraine, it is crucial for primary care practitioners to ensure all patients have access to the latest, evidence-based treatments. In this activity, expert faculty will address the educational needs of non-migraine specialist healthcare practitioners. We will discuss common challenges faced by the multidisciplinary care team, including shared decision-making practices to determine the best treatment options for patients. 

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to better:

  • Utilize validated screening tools and diagnostic aids to diagnose migraine in primary care and/or women’s health practice settings
  • Integrate knowledge of the role of CGRP in migraine and updated professional guidance into shared decision-making for acute treatment and prevention of episodic migraine with CGRP-RAs

Financial Support

This activity is supported by independent educational grants from AbbVie and Pfizer Inc.

Target Audience

HCPs involved in the management of adults with migraine, including primary care, women’s health, and EM physicians, physician associates (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), and nurses
