Aims and scope
COVID-19 and impact on peer review
As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.

Editorial Board Spotlight
Prof. Lars Edvinsson is a Professor in Internal Medicine, University of Lund, Sweden, and in Clinical and Experimental receptor regulation at Copenhagen University. He has spent 35 years on finding CGRP, building the case of its importance in migraine and cluster headache, and finally seeing the fulfillment of its therapeutic usefulness. The monoclonal antibodies in prevention of chronic and frequent episodic migraine, and he has been instrumental in the early work on gepants, small molecules that block the CGRP receptor. These are now in late phase for implementation in both acute and prophylactic therapy of migraine. His current work focus on novel targets for treatment of primary headaches.
