Background: Limited data exists on the durability of benefit beyond 5 cycles for the treatment of chronic migraine with onabotulinumtoxinA. Methods: Retrospective medical records review for patients with chronic migraine per ICHD - III beta criteria with 15 or more HA days per month. Patients must have had a baseline visit and at least 7 onabotulinumtoxinA injection cycles with an interval of 12 weeks (+/- 2 weeks) between injections. Dosing must have been within the range of 155-195U using the PREEMPT injection paradigm. Abstracted data included dose, headache days, MIDAS, HIT-6, and adverse events. Results: Thirty-three patients qualified with a minimum of 7 injections cycles. Of these patients, 17 had 8 cycles and 10 had 9 cycles. Mean HA days at baseline, cycles 7 and 9 were 19.08, 6.25 and 6.57, respectively. Mean HA free days at baseline, cycles 7 and 9 were 10.92, 23.75 and 23.43, respectively. Proportion of patients achieving >50% reduction in HA days at cycles 7 and 9 were 85% and 90%, respectively. Proportion of patients considered incapacitated based on MIDAS scores at baseline and cycle 7 were 53% and 12%, respectively. For HIT-6, 50% of patients had > 5 point reduction in score by cycle 7. No serious adverse events were reported. Conclusions: Results suggest durability of benefit for onabotulinumtoxinA based on the reduction in HA days after 7 treatments and in this small series of patients, through 9 treatments. OnabotulinumtoxinA demonstrated long-term improvements in migraine related disability as evaluated by the MIDAS and HIT-6 instruments. Results warrant investigation in a larger study to better understand the durability of onabotulinumtoxinA in clinical practice for chronic migraine.
