This study explores how people with migraine in Thailand experience treatment with eptinezumab, a anti-CGRP mAb given through an IV infusion every 12 weeks to help prevent migraine attacks. While this medicine may work quickly and avoid skin irritation from injections, it must be given at a hospital, which may cause challenges for patients and healthcare providers. These challenges can include travel, time, cost, or extra work for hospital staff. The study, called FACEpi, will look at what makes eptinezumab easy or hard to use in real life. It will gather views from both people with migraine and the healthcare professionals who provide the treatment. Researchers want to better understand how patients feel about this treatment and how it affects their daily life. About 30 participants will join the study from the Headache Clinic and Daycare Ward at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital (KCMH). These include adults with migraine (10 participants who have never recieved anti-CGRP mAb and 10 participants who have recieved anti-CGRP mAb) and 10 healthcare providers including doctors, nurses, nurse aids, etc. who give eptinezumab in our hospital. Each patient will take part in a semi-structured interview shortly after receiving eptinezumab and complete short surveys about migraine symptoms, migraine headache day (MHD), migraine disability (MIDAS), and quality of life (Euro-Quality of Life version EQ-5D-5L) at three time points: within 24 hours after treatment, after 3 months, and after 6 months. Healthcare providers will complete a one-time interview to talk about their experiences giving the treatment. The main goals of this study are: * To understand what helps or makes it hard to use eptinezumab in real-world practice * To see if eptinezumab helps reduce migraine days and improve quality of life Data from interviews will be reviewed for common themes using special software. Outcome measures will be analyzed using standard statistical tools. The results of this study will help doctors and public health leaders understand how to make migraine treatment more accessible and effective for patients in Thailand.
