The World Migraine Summit is taking place 6-13th March
You have to pay to access the vids after the summit, BUT, you can catch all 4 30-mins daily interviews within 24 hours of their release during the summit for free.
From their email:
How it works: Every day during the Summit, you’ll receive a link to all four 30-minute daily interviews. We’ll release that link at 3:00 pm Eastern time (New York, USA time) or 8 pm (20 hours) Greenwich Mean Time.
What if you’re in a different time zone? No matter where you are in the world, the four interviews will be available to watch for free for an entire 24 hours. You can look here to see when they’ll be released in your time zone. That means that in each 24 hour period, you can watch when it’s convenient for you.
Its worth checking out their schedule to see what you REALLY want to see, especially if watching the vids within that timescale isn't something you can do.

I watched it last year and it was a mixed bag. There was some stuff that wasn't applicable outside the US, some stuff I already knew and some that I wasn't interested in
But there was also expansion of stuff I already knew and some completely new info.
I'm interested in catching:
Controlling Chronic Migraine
Best Exercise Options for people with migraine
migraine biochemistry: CGRP & Beyond
balancing risks & benefits of migraine treatments
is migraine a brain energy problem?
Migraine FOMO: are you missing out?
what to expect: nurtec ODT, Ubrelvy, Quilpta & Zavzpret
new daily persistent headache: pain that won't stop
unofficial side effects of CGRP monoclonal antibodies
migraine, TMD and neck pain
Advocacy, access & migraine at work
Inflammation & chronic migraine
brain-related comorbodities of migraine
Is migraine linked with cognitive decline or dementia?
finding migraine relief

One of the good things about this year's line up is that they ran a survey after last year's and asked us as a community what we wanted to see.
It does actually look like those responses were taken into consideration, because there's a lot here I saw trending on the survey.
If you have migraines and want to be more in the know about your condition, I really recommend joining and giving it a watch
Lady Gaga is the star of Nurtec ODT's newest campaign, and a new commercial directed by Inez & Vinoodh titled "Lady Gaga's Journey, The Next Chapter" dropped just yesterday!
The superstar is wearing a custom Topo Studio NY black leather jumpsuit with pointelle shoulders, all over crystal embellishment, asymmetrical zip front and heavy crystal-encrusted collar.
She also stacked two fabulous white-gold rings adorned with diamonds on top of each other.
The first one is Djula's Barbelé ring. As the name states, the design features a fierce barb wire shape (€1,790).
Her second ring comes from Simone Jewels, a new name on LMG! The Flow wedding ring (€1,103.95) boasts an elegant wave design.
Shop:
Djula "Barbelé" Ring (€1,790.00)
Simone Jewels "Flow" Wedding Ring (€1,103.95)
Lastly, Gaga rocked her signature sky-high Flamingo-1020 black vinyl platform boots from Pleaser.
Nurtec odt using celebrity endorsements as apart of their advertising campaign is so deeply fucked up. Like everyone has migraines it would be hard not to prescribe that medication. It’s clear they just want to cast a wide net and real in whoever they can. There’s so many medications that aren’t important to public health at all and if anything they just exist to make money. Pfizer research a pill to kill yourself challenge
i tale nurtec odt!! it actually does a fantastic job preventing my migraines when nothing else really has and i absolutely say it's worth a shot if you can try it
I see you. See full PI at @nurtecodt_pi. #pfizersponsored My friends @inezandvinoodh and I made this film for you. To those with migraine, it’s time we all shine.

Once the domain of aging TV stars, hawking health products from vitamins to diabetes supplies to a geriatric demographic, A-list celebrity endorsements of health care products are positively trendy. Migraine sufferer Lady Gaga has a deal with Nurtec ODT, a prescription drug that treats migraines from pharma company Pfizer. “This Is Us” actor Mandy Moore is contracted by Incyte to promote Opzelura, an eczema treatment. Now Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who is making headlines as Taylor Swift’s current paramour, is the latest — and buzziest — pharma spokesperson. In a campaign promoted by Pfizer, he encourages people to get a “twofer”—a Covid shot and flu shot at the same time.
But there’s a problem here for Kelce and Pfizer (and it’s not Jets QB and anti-vaxxer Aaron Rodgers’ trash talking): Celebrity endorsements to promote health behavior change don’t work, at least not in the way you might think.

From the Migraine World Summit newsletter, talking to Dr Tepper, professor of neurology:
Let’s talk about gepants. The FDA approved rimegepant, Nurtec ODT, for the prevention of future attacks. How does it work and how effective is it?
Dr. Tepper: In the rimegepant (Nurtec ODT) trials, the more that people took it, the less headache they had. This was the opposite of rebound or medication overuse headache. This suggested gepants could be used preventively, which would make sense since they block the CGRP from landing on a receptor. That can work acutely, but if you block the receptor daily, or every other day, you can prevent the CGRP from landing and causing migraine and thus have a preventive effect.

Emphasis mine, but this is crazy!
Every other painkiller we take for migraine causes headaches if you use too much, ie, if you have chronic migraine and treat it every time
I can't begin to describe how exciting this new drug is!
