Significant strides were made in 2024 in evaluating a wide range of treatments for migraine, including phase 2 findings with PACAP inhibition, PI McAllister said.

Peter McAllister, MD, a neurologist and long-time principal investigator for landmark clinical trials of new migraine therapies, spoke with Patient Care© recently about the research he feels was headline news in the specialty in the last year and what those advances will mean for clinical care. In the short video above, McAllister points specifically to progress in the study of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide, or PACAP, inhibition and to the recent FDA approval of the neuromodulation device Nerivio for children as young as age 6 with migraine.
