Target Audience

The intended audience for this activity is neurologists, primary care physicians, and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with Alzheimer’s disease.

Learning Objective

Upon successful completion of the activity, participants should be better able to review the critical importance of diagnosing patients in the early stages of AD including the latest evidence-based diagnostic strategies and modalities.

Activity Description

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an irreversible, age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by gradual decline in understanding, memory, and ability to perform activities of daily living. More than 5 million Americans are living with AD, which accounts for 60% to 80% of all dementia. By 2050, the number of Americans living with AD is projected to rise to 14 million. Despite this significant burden, currently approved AD treatments are symptomatic drugs that do not stop or delay disease progression, with no approved disease-modifying therapy. The latest data from emerging AD treatments suggest that early identification of AD patients is critical for optimizing outcomes. Thus, neurologists, primary care physicians, and other providers who care for these patients need education on strategies for the early identification and management of patients with AD. In this podcast, expert clinicians will discuss why it is important to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease early and available assessment tools to make an early diagnosis.

Target Audience

This activity is intended for neurologists, headache specialists, pain specialists, NPs, PAs, and other HCPs who treat patients with migraine disorder.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Develop effective strategies for incorporating CGRP mABs into daily clinical practice
• Formulate comprehensive management plans for migraine patients on preventative treatment
• Review current treatment guidelines and patient eligibility for use of CGRP mABs

Activity Description

Join an expert faculty panel as they discuss incorporating anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies into daily clinical practice for migraine prevention. This video-based session will integrate didactic presentation, a case-based panel discussion, and expert review of clinical evidence, guideline recommendations, special considerations, and real-world use.

Statement of Educational Need

Migraines represent a common, debilitating disorder that continues to be both undertreated and underdiagnosed. Ninety-five percent of chronic migraine patients do not receive appropriate diagnosis or care, and the few that do, suffer from poor long-term treatment adherence. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies are an emerging preventative migraine therapy class that offer benefits over traditional systemic prophylaxis. This activity will review best practices for incorporating CGRP mAbs into daily clinical practice.
