The present study demonstrates synaptic contact between calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-like immunoreactive axon terminals and sympathetic neurons in the rat celiac ganglion. Our observations suggest that sensory ganglion neurons directly regulate the sympathetic activity via synapses, because CGRP immunoreactive (CGRPI) fibers in this ganglion are supplied by the sensory ganglia.

US Real-World Effectiveness, Tolerability, and Healthcare Resource Utilization After Addition of Fremanezumab for Preventive Treatment in Patients Using Gepants for Acute Treatment of Migraine: Results From a Retrospective Chart Review.

Introduction: Fremanezumab, a monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway, and gepants, small molecule CGRP receptor antagonists, are both approved for the treatment of migraine or its symptoms. This study assessed effectiveness, tolerability, and migraine-related healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) after the addition of fremanezumab for preventive migraine treatment in patients using gepants for acute treatment.
Methods: Data were extracted during a retrospective chart review from electronic medical records from the Dent Neurologic Institute.

Despite advances in procedural techniques and equipment, postdural puncture headache (PDPH) remains a serious complication of labour epidural analgesia after accidental dural puncture (ADP). Often considered a temporary inconvenience, PDPH can be debilitating in the short term. It can also be associated with chronic manifestations and serious complications.

Therefore, we first studied the link between sleep disturbances and the activation of nociceptors in two acute pain models. Activation of nociceptors in both acute inflammatory (AIP) and opto-pain models led to sleep loss, decreased sleep spindle density, and increased sleep fragmentation that lasted 3 to 6 hours.

Background: Rimegepant, a novel oral calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist, has been recently approved for the acute migraine treatment. While its efficacy was confirmed in randomized clinical trials, no data is available regarding real-life effectiveness and tolerability. GAINER, a prospective, multicentric study, aimed to evaluate rimegepant effectiveness and tolerability in the real-world setting.

Importance: Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) or its receptor (anti-CGRP mAbs) offer effective migraine-specific preventive treatment. However, concerns exist about their potential cardiovascular risks due to CGRP blockade.
Objective: To compare the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) between Medicare beneficiaries with migraine who initiated anti-CGRP-mAbs vs onabotulinumtoxinA in the US.
