ABSTRACT
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays a pivotal role in migraine pathophysiology. The importance of CGRP in migraine became evident from numerous clinical studies investigating CGRP levels both interictally and ictally and reports on the efficacy of CGRP-based migraine therapies. In this paper, the above mentioned studies will be presented and the reader will be introduced to the development of CGRP-based medication. Finally, current study results on CGRP receptor antagonists, the so-called gepants, will be presented.
