Pre-treatment non-ictal cephalic allodynia identifies responders to prophylactic treatment of chronic and episodic migraine patients with galcanezumab: A prospective quantitative sensory testing study (NCT04271202)

Sait Ashina et al.

Summary: This study used quantitative sensory testing to analyze the presence of cephalic and extracephalic allodynia in the pre-treatment non-ictal phase of migraine patients. The results showed that the presence of cephalic allodynia was highly correlated with the response to galcanezumab treatment, suggesting that it can be used to predict the treatment outcome.

Profiling migraine patients according to clinical and psychophysical characteristics: a cluster analysis approach

Stefano Di Antonio et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to profile migraine patients based on their clinical and psychophysical characteristics. Two cohorts of migraine patients (episodic/chronic) were included in this observational study. The study found that in the ictal/perictal phase, there were two clusters identified, one without psychophysical impairment and one with increased pain-sensitivity and cervical musculoskeletal dysfunctions. In the interictal phase, three clusters were identified, one without psychophysical impairment, one with increased pain-sensitivity, and one with increased pain-sensitivity and cervical musculoskeletal dysfunctions.

Migraine patients with and without neck pain: Differences in clinical characteristics, sensitization, musculoskeletal impairments, and psychological burden

Stefano Di Antonio et al.

Summary: This study found that migraine patients with neck pain had worse headache characteristics, more pronounced cervical musculoskeletal impairments, enhanced signs and symptoms related to sensitization, and worse psychological burden compared to migraine patients without neck pain.

Trigeminal and cervical sensitization during the four phases of the migraine cycle in patients with episodic migraine

Stefano Di Antonio et al.

Summary: This study assessed mechanical pain thresholds in patients with episodic migraine during different phases of the migraine cycle and found that patients showed signs of sensitization in the trigeminocervical area throughout the migraine cycle. Sensitization was most prominent during the ictal phase, but also present in the preictal phase and in patients with longer disease duration and higher drug usage.

Trigeminal sensory modulatory effects of galcanezumab and clinical response prediction

Kuan-Po Peng et al.

Summary: Galcanezumab modulates pain thresholds specifically in the V1 dermatome, but this modulation is short-lasting and irrelevant to clinical response. The clinical response may be determined by individual sensibility even before the administration of medication.

Pain sensitivities predict prophylactic treatment outcomes of flunarizine in chronic migraine patients: A prospective study

Li-Ling Hope Pan et al.

Summary: The study found that chronic migraine patients generally had higher sensitivity compared to healthy controls, and preventive treatment with flunarizine is particularly suitable for chronic migraine patients with relatively normal sensitivity to mechanical or heat pain.

Cervical musculoskeletal impairments in the 4 phases of the migraine cycle in episodic migraine patients

Stefano Di Antonio et al.

Summary: In all phases of the migraine cycle, episodic migraine patients showed reduced flexion rotation test and craniocervical flexion test and an increased number of myofascial trigger points and passive accessory vertebral segments. These impairments are correlated with enhanced headache duration, headache-related disability, and signs of widespread pain sensitization.

The Neck Disability Index Reflects Allodynia and Headache Disability but Not Cervical Musculoskeletal Dysfunction in Migraine

Zhiqi Liang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate neck disability in migraine patients and found that NDI scores are influenced by migraine disability and hypersensitivity, not just by cervical musculoskeletal dysfunction.

Disability, burden, and symptoms related to sensitization in migraine patients associate with headache frequency

Stefano Di Antonio et al.

Summary: This observational study found that patients with high-frequency episodic migraine and chronic migraine showed worse burden of headache, quality of life, psychological burden, and symptoms related to sensitization compared to those with low-frequency episodic migraine. Patients with high-frequency episodic migraine and chronic migraine could be considered in the same segment of the migraine population with similar degrees of disability and sensitization symptoms.

Jessica Garcia Jorge et al.

Summary: The study found that hyperalgesia affects functionality during a single-limb mini squat in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. There is an important correlation between hyperalgesia and muscle activity, postural control, and clinical measures in these individuals.

Muscle endurance training of the neck triggers migraine attacks

Gabriela F. Carvalho et al.

Summary: The study found that migraine patients are more likely to report neck pain and migraine attacks following a neck muscle endurance test. Participants with neck pain referred to the head during manual examination had a greater prevalence of migraine attacks than those without or with only local pain.

Craniocervical flexion test in patients with migraine: Discriminative validity and accuracy

Amanda Rodrigues et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the discriminative validity of the craniocervical flexion test (CCFT) in migraine patients, providing a clinical cut-off value. Results showed that CCFT can differentiate between asymptomatic controls and migraine patients with neck pain, but not between different levels of disability in migraine patients.

Migraine: integrated approaches to clinical management and emerging treatments

Messoud Ashina et al.

Summary: Migraine is a highly disabling neurological disorder affecting over 1 billion people worldwide. Treatment options include pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. Building a personalized treatment plan and exploring emerging mechanism-based treatments are crucial for effective management.

Migraine: disease characterisation, biomarkers, and precision medicine

Messoud Ashina et al.

Summary: The paper discusses the progress made in the search for biomarkers of migraine within genetics, provocation modeling, biochemistry, and neuroimaging research. Challenges and future directions for each biomarker modality are outlined, as well as advances in combining and integrating data from multiple biomarker modalities. These efforts contribute to developing precision medicine for future patients with migraine.

Neck pain associated with migraine does not necessarily reflect cervical musculoskeletal dysfunction

Summary: The study found that the presence of neck pain in individuals with migraine does not necessarily indicate cervical musculoskeletal dysfunction. Skilled assessment is needed to identify actual cervical dysfunction and provide appropriate treatment.
