Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Migraine prevention includes both oral and injectable therapeutic options, with patients typically favoring oral medications. Conventional oral preventive agents have limited immediate efficacy and are often associated with adverse effects, leading to suboptimal adherence. Gepants represent a novel class of oral migraine preventives with demonstrated efficacy and a favorable safety profile, raising expectations for better adherence; nevertheless, empirical data on adherence remain unavailable.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

This study is designed to (1) characterize adherence to gepants in clinical practice and compare it with adherence to traditional oral preventive therapies; (2) investigate the relationship between adherence and preventive treatment outcomes; and (3) implement pharmacy-generated tracing reports as an adherence-enhancing strategy and evaluate their impact.

Other related information

For patients whose adherence falls below 60% during the first three months, a pharmacy generated tracing report will be introduced as an intervention, and its impact will be assessed after an additional three month period. The tracing report system is already established in routine clinical practice, whereby pharmacists verify medication intake and remaining pills, provide adherence counseling, and are permitted to submit a monthly insurance claim for this service. The findings are communicated to the attending physician.
