Chronic migraine (CM), a condition where patients experience over 15 days of headache per month, was identified as a separate disease in the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3-beta version. Onabotulinumtoxin type A was approved for the treatment of CM in 2010 after the completion of the extensive PREEMPT (Phase III Research Evaluating Migraine Prophylaxis Therapy) clinical program. The efficacy of onabotulinumtoxin type A was demonstrated in numerous studies in CM and medication-overuse headache. The paper focuses on the PREEMPT injection paradigm and provides guidance for successful and safe treatment of CM.
