Migraine is among the highest impact illnesses in the global population. Its negative ramifications are personal, social, economic and work related. Research on the development of new preventative migraine therapies has been idle for decades. The introduction, shortly, of an innovative pharmacological class useful for migraine prevention, namely monoclonal antibodies towards calcitonin gene-related peptide or its receptor, opens a new, immense therapeutic scenario. The necessity to manage the chronic and refractory forms of migraine must not take our attention away from the target of the pre-chronic forms. This is the most important target in every study. Indeed, by reducing the evolution towards chronic and consequently refractory chronic migraine, we will reduce complications caused by pharmacological abuse, the serious disability of these devastating chronic states, and the healthcare expenses needed to manage chronicity, abuse and consequent pathologies. We will, lastly, be able to rehabilitate these patients to achieve a quality working and social life, and facilitate their reintegration into daily normality.
