Effectiveness and safety of erenumab and galcanezumab in the prevention of chronic and episodic migraine: A retrospective cohort study - PubMed

Effectiveness and safety of erenumab and galcanezumab in the prevention of chronic and episodic migraine: A retrospective cohort study - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35212025/

WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE?: Erenumab and galcanezumab have shown great results for migraine prevention. However, strict inclusion criteria, absence of concomitant medication and selective outcome report of clinical trials...


Conclusion: Altogether, these results support previous real-life studies regarding effectiveness and safety and provide an interesting insight in how these preventive therapies are also effective in patients diagnosed with difficult to treat migraine who have previously failed, at least, three different drug classes stablished by current...

Behavioral Management of Episodic Migraine: Maintaining a Healthy Consistent Lifestyle - PubMed

Behavioral Management of Episodic Migraine: Maintaining a Healthy Consistent Lifestyle - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35212864/

An individualized conceptualization of how lifestyle factors impact migraine activity has increased our understanding of the role of behavioral interventions for episodic migraine. Healthy diets of several types have been...


Conclusion/Relevance: Evidence is converging around the principle that highly unusual disruptions in daily routine are particularly associated with migraine attack onset and that a consistent healthy lifestyle is a key feature of effective behavioral migraine prevention strategies.

Resting State Electrophysiological Cortical Activity: A Brain Signature Candidate for Patients with Migraine - PubMed

Resting State Electrophysiological Cortical Activity: A Brain Signature Candidate for Patients with Migraine - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35182303/

A recent study examined differences in resting state functional connectivity among the pain-related regions and revealed that beta connectivity was attenuated in migraine and that altered connectivity in the anterior...


Conclusion/Relevance: Studies on resting state activity have yielded convincing findings regarding aberrant oscillatory power and functional connectivity in relation to migraine, thus contributing to identifying brain signatures for migraine. The role of such assessment in precision medicine should be further investigated.

Change in the second exteroceptive suppression period of the temporalis muscle during erenumab treatment - Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology

Source : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00210-022-02216-4

Comparative studies on the second exteroceptive suppression period (ES2) of the masseter or temporalis muscle in migraineurs and controls have provided conflicting results. As the interneurons responsible for ES2 are...


Conclusion: The change observed in the temporalis ES2 during erenumab treatment indicates that ES2 may play some kind of role as a neurophysiological marker and that this monoclonal antibody can modulate the brainstem circuits involved in migraine pathophysiology, at least indirectly. Further studies are required to confirm this intriguing...
