2022 Sep 27;15(10):1189. doi: 10.3390/ph15101189. 1 Danish Headache Center, Department of Neurology, Rigshospitalet Glostrup, Glostrup, 2600 Copenhagen, Denmark. 2 Department of Neurorehabilitation/Traumatic Brain Injury, Rigshospitalet, 2100 Copenhagen, Denmark. Free PMC...


Conclusions: Human studies into the pathophysiological underpinnings of CGRP and PACAP in migraine are manifold and here we review the works investigating these neuropeptides in patients suffering from migraine in order to elucidate the background for developing new treatment options for this vastly disabling disorder.

Blood Pressure in Migraine Patients Treated With Monoclonal Anti-CGRP (receptor) Antibodies: A Prospective Follow-up Study

Blood Pressure in Migraine Patients Treated With Monoclonal Anti-CGRP (receptor) Antibodies: A Prospective Follow-up Study

Source : https://n.neurology.org/content/early/2022/10/04/WNL.0000000000201008

Background and Objectives: Anti-CGRP (receptor) antibodies are approved as preventive treatment for migraine. Recent concerns have been raised after a retrospective analysis of post-marketing case reports of elevated BP associated...


Discussion: The mean systolic and diastolic BP increased after anti-CGRP (receptor) antibodies were started. The majority of patients remained within the normal blood pressure limits, but some patients required antihypertensive treatment. Physicians should be aware that people with migraine may be at risk to develop hypertension when treated...

doi: 10.1007/s40122-022-00440-7. Online ahead of print. 1 Optum, 1325 Boylston Street, 11th Floor, Boston, MA, 02215, USA. [email protected]. 2 Optum, 1325 Boylston Street, 11th Floor, Boston, MA, 02215, USA. 3...


Conclusion: Patients initiating erenumab had similar risk of inpatient constipation within 90 days of treatment initiation versus patients initiating other CGRP mAbs, and lower risk versus patients initiating AEDs. These findings provide context to events observed during post-marketing surveillance.

By Amnon A. Berger, Ariel Winnick & 13 more. It is a part of a growing arsenal in migraine treatment, and may present the silver bullet for treatment of this...


Conclusion/Relevance: Rimegepant, a second-generation gepant, has shown efficacy in several clinical trials in treating acute migraine. Ongoing trials are also evaluating its role in migraine prophylaxis, and results are promising. It is also generally safer for use than existing options, does not appear to increase the chance of developing...
