Overall, it was found to be safe, with manageable side effects. This research highlights the potential of erenumab as a valuable treatment option for people suffering from migraines. It could improve their quality of life and reduce the burden of this common neurological disorder. Clinical relevance: This research supports erenumab as an effective preventive treatment for migraines, offering hope for improved patient outcomes.
