Abstract: The article examines changes in prescription practices for CGRP monoclonal antibodies and onabotulinumtoxinA at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, finding that providers initially switched to CGRP mAbs when onabotulinumtoxinA treatments were disrupted but later reverted to pre-pandemic patterns, indicating a preference for onabotulinumtoxinA when available for treating chronic migraine patients.
