Abstract: Migraine is a chronic neurological disease that causes intense headaches, nausea, sensitivity to light, and sound, impacting patients' quality of life. Rimegepant is an innovative treatment that targets the CGRP receptor, being safe for patients with contraindications to other medications. It has demonstrated efficacy in acute treatment, reducing the frequency of migraine days and improving quality of life. Its combination with CGRP monoclonal antibodies may be beneficial, but further studies are needed. Although not more effective than triptans in acute treatment, it may bring long-term benefits. Economic evaluation suggests it is a viable option, with the potential to transform migraine treatment and improve patients' lives.
