Restraints:
Adverse effects of migraine drugs, lack of proper diagnosis, and increasing undiagnosed cases are major factors expected to hamper the growth of the global migraine therapeutic market during the forecast period.

It is also important to get medical help immediately if the headache feels different from the usual migraine headaches. Moreover, the lack of consultation for headache is also found to be a major contributing factor to underdiagnosed cases. This in turn is restraining the growth of the global migraine therapeutic market.
