Our approach

Get to grips with your migraine

Many people with migraine have already tried countless non-medical options. Medical help is often put off. Understandable, but also a shame. You do not have to accept your current situation: there is a lot that can be done.

At The Migraine Clinic we work with two kinds of migraine medicine: medicines to stop an attack and medicines to prevent attacks. We prescribe three classes: triptans, gepants and monoclonal CGRP antibodies. Finding the right treatment means monitoring the effects and adjusting. That is exactly our expertise.

Together we make sure you get a grip on your migraine.

Two kinds of medicine

Acute medication

When you suffer from migraine, it can feel as if the attacks dominate your life. One possible solution is acute medication. This type of medication is designed specifically to stop a migraine attack.

We prescribe triptans and the gepants rimegepant and atogepant. These medicines are aimed specifically at reducing the intensity and duration of your migraine.

Preventive medication

Frequently recurring migraine attacks can have an enormous impact on your daily life. The aim of preventive medication is not to stop an attack in progress, but to reduce the frequency, intensity and duration of future attacks. We prescribe CGRP inhibitors: monoclonals and gepants. These medicines are designed specifically to prevent migraine attacks and, on average, give the best results for our patients.

CGRP inhibitors work by blocking calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a neurotransmitter that plays an essential role in how migraine attacks develop.

In the UK, The Migraine Clinic prescribes three classes of medicine: triptans and gepants to stop an attack, and gepants and monoclonal CGRP antibodies (together called CGRP inhibitors) to prevent attacks.

In most cases, no. You pay for your care yourself, and in most cases it is not covered by insurance. You do not need a referral and there are no waiting times: you can get started today.
How long does it take for migraine medication to work?

How do I know which migraine treatment suits me?
That depends on how often and how severe your attacks are, medication you have tried before and personal factors. At The Migraine Clinic you draw up a personal treatment plan together with your migraine specialist.
What are CGRP inhibitors?
CGRP inhibitors are the newest class of preventive migraine medicines. CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) is a protein that plays a central role in how migraine develops. By blocking this protein, CGRP inhibitors reduce the frequency, duration and intensity of migraine attacks. There are two kinds: monoclonal CGRP antibodies and gepants. 75% of patients at The Migraine Clinic are still using CGRP inhibitors after a year.
