The sections that follow describe our method for selecting migraine preventative therapy.

Selecting pharmacological treatment

First-line agents

We recommend amitriptyline, venlafaxine, one of the beta blockers propranolol or metoprolol, topiramate, or one of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antagonists as initial treatments for the majority of patients with episodic migraine (≤14 headache days per month) who meet the criteria for preventive therapy (see 'Indications' above).

As to the American Headache Society's 2024 position statement, we list CGRP antagonists erenumab, fremanezumab, galcanezumab, eptinezumab, rimegepant, and atogepant as first-line alternatives.[1]. Numerous clinical trials, meta-analyses, and postapproval open-label cohort studies have demonstrated the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of these medications.[2][3]

Second-line medications

In patients who do not respond well to two or more first-line medications, or who do not respond well enough to them after at least eight weeks at a therapeutic dose, we recommend using second-line medications to prevent episodic migraine. Among these are additional antihypertensives including gabapentin, venlafaxine, candesartan, lisinopril, verapamil, and valproate.
