New Migraine Treatment – UAE Today

A new treatment against migraine headaches, the first treatment against the disease, has been developed, said former German neurologist Lars Nipp, who uses drugs to treat other diseases such as l? epilepsy or beta-blockers.

"The new treatment is an injection that attacks CGRP and its receptors, which is one of the neurotransmitters and plays a major role in migraine attacks," he said.

He added that "the new treatment helps reduce the number of migraine attacks to a large extent," adding that the patient can inject every four weeks to deal with chronic migraine, a number that corresponds at the number of attacks to 15 days a month.
