Methods and Material: The PubMed database was searched for relevant articles published on or before October 2020.
Results and Conclusions: Chronic migraine is an under-recognized and under-treated disorder. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management can lead to a significant improvement in the quality of life with subsequent socioeconomic benefits.
