Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether the first onset of migraine episodes among primary healthcare patients in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is preceded by a highly stressful event, as well as to identify common potential triggers and relievers reported by these patients.
Background: Migraine is a prevalent and debilitating neurological disorder. The pathophysiology of migraine involves complex interactions between genetic, neurological, and environmental factors, including the trigeminovascular system and neuropeptides such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP).

Migraine is a common neurological disorder that primarily affects young adults. Despite the availability of multiple therapeutic options for patients with intractable migraine, a significant proportion of these patients remain refractory to treatment, highlighting the importance for novel therapies. In this study, we comprehensively assessed the role of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) in the management of intractable migraine.

Study Objective: We performed a systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis to determine which pharmacologic therapies are relatively more effective and safer for migraine in adult patients who present to the emergency department (ED).
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science from inception to February 9, 2024. Eligible studies were randomized controlled trials that enrolled adult participants presenting to ED with migraine and compared one pharmacologic therapy to another or placebo.

There is a multitude of scientific papers and guideline papers on the methodology of drug trials in migraine. Here, we try to condense this into a single paper and to make proposals for future consideration. Literature known by the authors and from reference lists of relevant publications was used for the history.

Combination treatments for migraine prophylaxis present a promising approach to addressing the diverse and complex mechanisms underlying migraine. This review explores the potential of combining oral conventional prophylactics, onabotulinumtoxin A, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway, and small molecule CGRP receptor antagonists (gepants). Among the most promising strategies, dual CGRP inhibition through mAbs and gepants may enhance efficacy by targeting both the CGRP peptide and its receptor, while the combination of onabotulinumtoxin A with CGRP treatments offers synergistic pain relief.
