Role of Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide on the Gastrointestinal Symptoms of Migraine-Clinical Considerations: A Narrative Review
Source : https://n.neurology.org/content/early/2022/09/20/WNL.0000000000201332
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is involved in several of the pathophysiological processes underpinning migraine attacks. Therapies that target CGRP or its receptor have shown efficacy as preventive or acute treatments...
Conclusion/Relevance: In this review, we summarize the epidemiological evidence for associations between migraine and gastrointestinal disorders, consider the possible physiological role of CGRP in these associations, and review the clinical occurrence of gastrointestinal events in patients with migraine receiving CGRP-based therapies and other...
Role of endothelin in the pathophysiology of migraine: A new view on an old player
Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0143417922000610?via=ihub
There is cumulating evidence that endothelin-1 (ET-1) may play a role in migraine, however controversial findings still impede a conclusion to be drawn. Herein we tested the hypothesis that endothelin...
Conclusion: Selective blockade of ETB receptors in the TG fully prevented the development of periorbital mechanical allodynia and photic sensitivity induced by CGRP, but ETA receptor blockade caused only a slight reduction of periorbital mechanical allodynia without affecting photic sensitivity. ETB receptor-operated mechanisms in the TG may...
Bidirectional Association Between Fibromyalgia and Migraine Among Probands and Unaffected Non-Twin Siblings: A Nationwide Population-Based Study - PubMed

Conclusion: The bidirectional association between fibromyalgia and migraine among probands and unaffected siblings suggests a familial coaggregation of these two conditions. Additional studies are required to investigate the genetic and environmental etiologies for this coaggregation.

The new monoclonal antibodies of the class of CGRP targeting therapies have been authorized with efficacy data only against placebo. They do not offer additional clinical benefits compared to available...
Discussion: The new monoclonal antibodies of the class of CGRP targeting therapies have been authorized with efficacy data only against placebo. They do not offer additional clinical benefits compared to available therapies for the prevention of migraine attacks, with the exception of a lower frequency of administration and a more rapid effect....

Salivary CGRP and Erenumab Treatment Response: Towards Precision Medicine in Migraine - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36054144/
Patients with migraine not only have higher CGRP levels compared with HCs, but also the presence of depressive symptoms seems to increase salivary CGRP levels and we have evidence, for...
Interpretation: Patients with migraine not only have higher CGRP levels compared with HCs, but also the presence of depressive symptoms seems to increase salivary CGRP levels and we have evidence, for the first time, that baseline salivary CGRP concentration is associated with treatment response to erenumab.
