An 8-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial of flunarizine in the prophylaxis migraine has been performed 70 children. After 4 weeks medication-free base-line observation, 35 children (group A) received (5 mg/day) and B) placebo over a 12-week period. 4-week washout they crossed treatments for another 12 weeks. Sixty-three patients completed trial. In both groups significantly reduced frequency average duration headache attacks. group A efficacy was maintained after last...
Vestibular migraine is considered the most common cause of recurrent vertigo for which specific treatments are missing. Monoclonal antibodies against calcitonin gene-related peptide,, effective in preventing migraine. Since CGRP also detected human cochlear and vestibular organs it may play a role physiology.This prospective observational cohort study, aiming at evaluating efficacy erenumab, fremanezumab or galcanezumab treatment fifty patients. We assessed mean monthly days with headache...
The aim of this study was to asses the clinical features, pattern healthcare and drug utilization migraine patients attending 10 Italian headache centres (HC). Migraine is underdiagnosed undertreated everywhere throughout world, despite its considerable burden. sufferers often deal with their problem alone using self-prescribing drugs, whereas triptans are used by a small proportion patients. All for first time HCs over 3-month period were screened migraine. underwent structured direct...
The objective of this paper was to assess prevalence and characteristics anxiety depression in migraine without aura tension-type headache, either isolated or combination. Although the association between headache psychiatric disorders is undisputed, patients with and/or have been frequently investigated different settings using tests, which prevents meaningful comparisons. Psychiatric comorbidity tested through structured interview MINI inventory 158 adults 216 persons plus headache. 49...
After the recent limitations to prescribing valproate, many studies have highlighted challenging management of female patients reproductive age with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). However, no study, authors' knowledge, has addressed comparative effectiveness alternative antiseizure medications (ASMs) in these patients.
To assess the prevalence and possible pathogenetic involvement of raised intracranial pressure in patients presenting with unresponsive chronic migraine (CM), we evaluated opening (OP) clinical outcome a single cerebrospinal fluid withdrawal by lumbar puncture 44 consecutive diagnosed chronic/transformed evidence sinus stenosis at magnetic resonance venography. The large majority complained daily or near-daily headache. Thirty-eight (86.4 %) had an OP >200 mmH2O. Lumbar puncture-induced...
To compare the effectiveness and safety of galcanezumab, fremanezumab, erenumab for treatment chronic episodic migraine, through real-world data.Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway have been tested extensively in several clinical trials both showing high effectiveness, safety, tolerability; however, there are no prospective studies intending to their efficacy safety.This is a observational cohort study comparing profiles migraine. We enrolled...
Cluster headache (CH) is characterized by severe, recurrent, unilateral attacks of extreme intensity and brief duration. Variants in a myriad genes were studied sporadic CH patients, often with conflicting results.We gene mutations some candidate genes, hypocretin receptor 2, Clock, alcohol dehydrogenase 4 (ADH4), 54 unrelated patients 200 controls 8 kindreds/families that included more affected nonaffected cases. Furthermore, we performed the whole-genome scanning comparative genomic...
Introduction The functional neuroimaging of headache patients has revolutionized our understanding the pathophysiology primary headaches, providing unique insights into these syndromes. Indeed, studies have shown activation specific brain structures, brainstem in migraine and posterior hypothalamus cluster (CH), as well other trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias. We describe findings a patient suffering from CH headache, investigated with magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during typical pain...
