“The current estimated annual cost to American society of just nine of the most common neurological diseases is staggering, totaling $789 billion. These conditions include Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, low back pain, stroke, traumatic brain injury, migraine, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and Parkinson’s disease.”

Next Generation Migraine Therapies
Faculty Larry Charleston IV, MD, MSc, FAHS

Migraine is a painful headache syndrome and is the second-most disabling neurological disorder worldwide, affecting 38 to 47 million Americans and costing more than $31 billion/year in the US alone. Nearly 1 in every 5 women and 6% of men in the US suffer from migraine, for a total of approximately 12% of the population. Migraine disorders range from low frequency episodic to chronic, have multiple associated symptoms from motor and sensory to cognitive and affective, and are a major cause of absentee days from work, decreased family and social activities, as well as direct and indirect healthcare costs. The majority of people with migraine receive care from primary care providers with a smaller proportion of patients receiving care from specialists and subspecialists. Evidence-based acute “abortives,” prophylaxis “preventive,” and psychological/behavioral “nonpharmacological” modalities and treatments exist. Yet, there remains an unmet need for abortive treatments. Moreover, prevention and nonpharmacological modalities are underutilized in people with migraine. Poorly optimized abortive treatment of episodic migraine is associated with an increased risk for these patients to develop chronic migraine (CM). Patients with CM have greater disability, work loss, lower income, reduced productivity at home, greater use of healthcare resources, and 4.4 times greater total medical cost than patients with episodic migraine. Recent FDA approved and cleared treatments for migraine highlight, in part, the complex pathophysiology of the disorder and offer more treatment options to help improve patient outcomes. This course will explore recent FDA approved/cleared abortive and preventive treatments for migraine with discussion and pearls for integrating these treatments into clinical practice. The target audience will include all healthcare professionals who are involved in treating patients with migraine with a special emphasis for those who practice primary care medicine, neurology, and headache medicine.

Management of Relapsing-Remitting MS in a Changing Therapeutic Landscape
Faculty Michelle H. Cameron, MD, PT, MCR
Supported by an educational grants from Bristol Myers-Squibb and Novartis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common nontraumatic cause of disability in young adults and affects over 900,000 people in the US. Most people with MS have a relapsing remitting course of the disease, with recurring relapses of neurological symptoms and consequent accumulation of disability. The first disease modifying therapies (DMTs) to reduce the frequency of these relapses and the accumulation of disability became available almost 30 years ago. These therapies were only at best modestly effective, and all needed to be given by injection. Over the last decade MS DMTs for relapsing remitting MS (RRMS) have advanced substantially, with now over 20 DMTs available, ranging in efficacy, risk, and route of administration resulting in a complex treatment landscape for providers and for patients with MS. This presentation will start with a case study of a patient with RRMS followed by a brief overview of the course, epidemiology, and overall management of MS. There will be an in depth discussion of the MS DMTs with a focus on their evolution over time and approaches to selecting the ideal DMT together with our patients with RRMS. The target audience will include all healthcare professionals who are involved in treating patients with MS with a special emphasis for those who practice primary care medicine and neurology.

CE/CME and Accreditation

Next Generation Migraine Therapies

November 19, 2020
This activity is provided by Global Education Group.

Statement of Need/Program Overview

Migraine is a public health issue with serious social and economic costs.

Healthcare costs are 70% higher for a family with a migraine sufferer than a non-migraine affected family. Healthcare and lost productivity costs associated with migraine are estimated to be as high as $36 billion annually in the U.S. American employers lose more than 157 million workdays due to migraine each year. Beyond the burden of migraine itself, having migraine increases the risk for other physical and psychiatric conditions with the resulting increase in disability and healthcare costs. In 2015, the medical cost for treating chronic migraine was over $5.4 billion, however, these sufferers collectively spent over $41 billion treating their entire range of conditions.
