We had the great pleasure of meeting with Stephanie Nahas (Thomas Jefferson University, Jefferson Headache Center, Philadelphia, PA, USA) to discuss the CaMEO results, a web-based survey to characterize self-reported use of preventive medications for migraine and treatment gaps.

The abstract ‘Characterizing preventive treatment gaps in migraine: Results from the CaMEO study’ & ‘Optimal acute treatment is associated with productivity gains in people with migraine: Results from the Chronic Migraine Epidemiology and Outcomes (CaMEO) study’ was presented at the American Headache Society (AHS) Virtual Annual Scientific Meeting 2021, 3-6 June 2021.

Questions:

  1. Could you give us a brief overview of the CaMEO study and its objectives? (0:22)
  2. What did the study reveal about the use of migraine preventative drugs among eligible patients? (1:12)
  3. What were the reasons for drug discontinuation? (1:50)
  4. What other treatment gaps were identified? (2:39)
