Abstract
Migraine is a prevalent, chronic and episodic neurological disease that is associated with a great worldwide burden of disability. Currently, the treatment for migraine implies a multiple and comprehensive approach to abortive, preventive and bio-behavioral medications, but since this is a polygenic disease with a shortage of treatments, it generates the need to investigate new therapies. It has been prooved that the calcitonin related peptide gene has great importance in the pathophysiology of this disease. Its pharmacological decrease has a great clinical impact on the lives of affected patients, which is why today the role of this gene is part of the main lines of research in migraine.
