The symposium aims to increase awareness of the disease burden of migraine on patients and to provide a summary of the natural disease course to recognize the importance of early intervention to reduce the risk of chronification. The faculty includes a neurologist and nurse practitioner specializing in headache, which will provide a complementary perspective on the management of migraine including patient counselling, monitoring of migraine symptoms and treatment response. Practical advice on novel therapies will also be provided.

This program was developed by the CNSF and Lundbeck and was planned to achieve scientific integrity, objectivity and balance. It is an unaccredited learning activity and not eligible for MOC credits.

Learning Objectives:

  • Analyze the disease burden and societal costs of migraine
  • Recognize the importance of treating migraine early and leveraging the multidisciplinary team to identify early signs of progression
  • Recall novel treatment options for migraine and identify those appropriate for specific patient profiles
