OnabotulinumtoxinA for Treatment of Chronic Migraine: Pooled Results From the Double‐Blind, Randomized, Placebo‐Controlled Phases of the PREEMPT Clinical Program

Abstract

The pooled PREEMPT results demonstrate that onabotulinumtoxinA is an effective prophylactic treatment for chronic migraine. OnabotulinumtoxinA resulted in significant improvements compared with placebo in multiple headache symptom measures, and significantly reduced headache-related disability and improved functioning, vitality, and overall health-related quality of life. Repeat treatments with onabotulinumtoxinA were safe and well tolerated.
