Among patients with CM in the PROMISE-2 study, a broad range of PI-MBS was reported at baseline. Throughout the study, patients treated with eptinezumab reported greater improvement in their PI-MBS severity compared with placebo recipients, and this improvement correlated strongly with PGIC findings. Collectively, these results indicate that PI-MBS is a promising and novel outcome measure for preventive trials of CM and thus may provide a unique patient-centered approach for identifying and measuring the burden of migraine symptoms that matter most to each patient, as well as the benefits of treatment.
