Abstract
Aim
In Japan, the introduction of anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies and the 5-HT1F receptor agonist lasmiditan has transformed migraine treatment. However, medical consultation and prescription rates for migraine remain low. This study aimed to clarify the awareness and prescribing patterns of acute and preventive migraine medications among physicians in Kawasaki, Japan.
