Inhibiting Endocannabinoid Hydrolysis as Emerging Analgesic Strategy Targeting a Spectrum of Ion Channels Implicated in Migraine Pain - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35457225/

Migraine is a disabling neurovascular disorder characterized by severe pain with still limited efficient treatments. Endocannabinoids, the endogenous painkillers, emerged, alternative to plant cannabis, as promising analgesics against migraine pain....


Conclusion/Relevance: The specific distribution and homeostasis of endoCBs in the main regions of the nociceptive system and their generation 'on demand', along with recent availability of MAGL and FAAH inhibitors suggest new perspectives for endoCBs-mediated analgesia in migraine pain.

Early maladaptive schemas differing according to sex may contribute to migraine among the youth

Early maladaptive schemas differing according to sex may contribute to migraine among the youth

Despite many diverse findings from studies about the comorbidity of psychiatric disorders and migraine, there are still unknown points. Schemas, which are the basic structures of cognition, are understudied. This...


Conclusion: Our study highlights the importance of screening for EMSs among adolescent patients with migraine. Schema therapy and similar therapeutic interventions may be used in the management of migraine in adolescents. Gender may also be important factor the schema therapy in adolescent migraine patients.

Migraine Prevention with Erenumab: Focus on Patient Selection, Perspectives and Outcomes - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35411146/

Erenumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor suitable for episodic and chronic migraine prevention. Randomized clinical trials proved the superiority of erenumab to placebo in...



Conclusions: In the present work, we aimed at reviewing design and results of the main studies on erenumab and discussing treatment use in the current migraine prevention scenario; we also summarized the main ongoing research projects and provided clinical perspectives for the future.

One-third of patients with EM and CM achieved ≥50% MMD reduction after 3 months of erenumab treatment. This study provides real-world evidence of erenumab effectiveness, safety, and usage for migraine...


Conclusion: One-third of patients with EM and CM achieved ≥50% MMD reduction after 3 months of erenumab treatment. This study provides real-world evidence of erenumab effectiveness, safety, and usage for migraine prevention in adult Canadian patients with multiple prior ineffective prophylactic treatments.

doi: 10.1097/WNO.0000000000001541. Online ahead of print. 1 Neurology Department (JAM, IdL, LS-C, MS, JDdT), University Hospital "La Paz", Madrid, Spain; and La Paz Institute for Health Research (IdiPAZ) (MS, JDdT),...


Conclusions: Greater occipital nerve block improves migraine-associated photophobia, measured with UPSIS-12 and KUMC-8. Patients without aura may exhibit a greater improvement. Physicians could consider GON block for management of photophobia in migraine patients.
