Summary

Migraine can progress to chronic migraine, a disorder where typical migraine features may lessen over time. Understanding migraine progression is key to effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Headache Medicine

Background:

  • Migraine is often viewed as episodic but can become a chronic, progressive disorder.
  • Transformed migraine, or chronic migraine, represents the progression of episodic migraine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical features of transformed migraine.
  • To discuss risk factors and mechanisms of migraine progression.
  • To explore treatment prospects for transformed migraine and prevention of progression.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of clinical features, risk factors, mechanisms, and treatments for transformed migraine.
  • Analysis of the evolving phenotype of transformed migraine based on disease stage.

Main Results:

  • Transformed migraine's clinical presentation varies with disease stage.
  • Early transformation shows frequent migraine features; later stages often lack them.
  • Risk factors and mechanisms contributing to migraine progression are identified.

Conclusions:

  • Migraine progression leads to transformed (chronic) migraine with a changing phenotype.
  • Identifying risk factors and understanding mechanisms are crucial for intervention.
  • Effective treatment strategies are needed to manage transformed migraine and prevent further progression.
