Maintenance of response and predictive factors of 1-year GalcanezumAb treatment in real-life migraine patients in Italy: The multicenter prospective cohort GARLIT study

Fabrizio Vernieri et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the 1-year effectiveness and tolerability of galcanezumab in real-life treatment of high-frequency episodic and chronic migraine. The results showed that a majority of patients experienced a significant reduction in monthly migraine days for at least 9 months. Triptan response, lower body mass index, and an early reduction in migraine days were identified as predictive factors for a persistent response.

Sleep and Chronobiology as a Key to Understand Cluster Headache

Laura Pilati et al.

Summary: This article explores the relationship between cluster headaches and sleep, chronobiology, and circadian rhythm. It suggests that genetic factors and anatomical structures such as the hypothalamus may influence the periodicity and onset of cluster headaches. Additionally, sleep disturbances are commonly observed in cluster headache patients. The purpose of this review is to analyze this link in order to interpret the pathophysiology of cluster headaches and consider potential therapeutic implications.

Fremanezumab in the prevention of high-frequency episodic and chronic migraine: a 12-week, multicenter, real-life, cohort study (the FRIEND study)

Piero Barbanti et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of fremanezumab in a real-life population of high-frequency episodic or chronic migraine patients. The results showed that fremanezumab was effective in reducing migraine days, headache days, analgesic intake, and improving quality of life in both types of migraine. Younger age emerged as a potential predictor for positive treatment response.

Erenumab Impact on Sleep Assessed With Questionnaires and Home-Polysomnography in Patients With Migraine: The ERESON Study

Gaia Pellitteri et al.

Summary: Migraine and sleep have a complex relationship, where poor sleep may trigger migraine attacks and migraine is often associated with sleep disorders. This study investigated sleep changes in patients with migraine treated with erenumab using validated questionnaires and home polysomnography.

Cerebral Blood Flow and Other Predictors of Responsiveness to Erenumab and Fremanezumab in Migraine-A Real-Life Study

Magdalena Nowaczewska et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between baseline clinical parameters and cerebral blood flow (CBF) with the efficacy of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The study found that patients with lower baseline mean blood flow velocity (Vm) in the cerebral arteries had a better response to mAbs treatment. Additionally, unilateral pain localization, higher HIT-6 scores, and absence of family history of migraine were associated with better responsiveness to mAbs.

Salivary CGRP and Erenumab Treatment Response: Towards Precision Medicine in Migraine

Alicia Alpuente et al.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze salivary calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) levels in patients with migraine, predict erenumab response based on baseline CGRP levels, and evaluate CGRP changes post-treatment. The results showed that patients with migraine had higher CGRP levels compared to healthy controls, and the presence of depressive symptoms increased salivary CGRP levels. Additionally, baseline salivary CGRP concentration was associated with treatment response to erenumab for patients with episodic migraine.

Summary: The study found that more than half of patients with chronic migraine who received galcanezumab treatment in real-life settings persistently converted to episodic migraine during a one-year period.

Predictors of response to anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies: a 24-week, multicenter, prospective study on 864 migraine patients

Piero Barbanti et al.

Summary: This study investigates the predictors of response to antiCGRP mAbs in patients with high-frequency episodic migraine (HFEM) and chronic migraine (CM). The results show that in HFEM, unilateral pain + unilateral cranial autonomic symptoms are positively associated with >= 50% response. In CM, allodynia + unilateral pain, unilateral cranial autonomic symptoms are positively associated with >= 50% response, while obesity is negatively associated with >= 50% response. This study is important for predicting the response of migraine patients to antiCGRP mAbs.

Summary: The study found that anti-CGRP mAbs have a more favorable benefit-risk ratio for the prevention of episodic and chronic migraine compared to established treatments, but head-to-head studies are needed to confirm these results.

Medication overuse and drug addiction: a narrative review from addiction perspective

Tatiane Teru Takahashi et al.

Summary: Chronic headaches are common in migraineurs and can progress to medication overuse headache (MOH). MOH is caused by overuse of painkillers or other medications. While head pain symptoms associated with medication overuse generally improve after stopping regular medication use, behavioral issues such as drug dependence may still persist.

Migraine and Sleep-An Unexplained Association?

Marta Waliszewska-Prosol et al.

Summary: Migraine and sleep disorders are common chronic diseases with significant negative impacts on society and economy. The association between them is observed but not fully understood, with recent progress in understanding common anatomical structures and pathogenetic mechanisms. Better understanding of these mechanisms in the future will expand treatment options.
