Chronic migraine

Chronic migraine is a very frequent neurological disease, which prevalence in the population and health restrictions rank third after cerebrovascular events and just below dementia. According to the latest International Classification of Headaches (ICHD-3) is classified as a separate migraine subtype and is defined as at least 15 days with a headache in the month, of which 8 or more are migraine-like. The disease is often drug-resistant and accompanied by therapeutic nihilism. Currently, however, proper diagnosis can lead to new treatment options such as CGRP antibodies or neurostimulation methods.
