Migraine is a neurological disease that, while not inherently causing "chronic headaches," can evolve into a chronic condition over time including major symptoms such as nausea, and light, sound, and allodynia, particularly in cases of frequent episodic migraine or due to factors such as medication overuse or inadequate management. This condition's complex pathophysiology makes treatment difficult. Genetics, trigeminovascular system activation, and cortical spreading depression are involved.

Objective: The neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has been established to be a key signaling molecule in migraine, but little is known about the differences between the two isoforms: αCGRP and βCGRP. Previous studies have been hampered by their close similarity, making the development of specific antibodies nearly impossible. In this study we sought to test the hypothesis that αCGRP and βCGRP localize differently within the neurons of the mouse trigeminal ganglion (TG), using αCGRP knock out (KO) animals.

Effectiveness, safety, and impact on multiple sclerosis course of anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies.

J Neurol Sci

Multiple Sclerosis Center, Binaghi Hospital, ASL Cagliari, Italy; Department of Medical Sciences and Public Health, University of Cagliari, Italy.

Background: Migraine affects up to 40% of people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the combination of antibodies (mAbs) against CGRP (anti-CGRP mAbs) with disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) for MS (mAb and non-mAbs) and their impact on MS disease course.

Methods: This retrospective, multicentric study included PwMS from 14 MS Centers, treated with an anti-CGRP mAb and a stable treatment with DMTs.

Migraine is a debilitating headache disorder. The disease has neurovascular origin and migraine attacks can be elicited by vasodilative neuropeptides such as alpha calcitonin gene-related peptide (αCGRP). Antagonizing CGRP actions in migraine patients has proven clinically efficient.
