A severe and persistent migrainous headache in a patient with primary Sjøgren's syndrome unresponsive to treatment with immunosuppressive drugs, triptans, opioids, and NSAIDs, responded successfully to intrathecal B-cell depletion with rituximab. We hypothesize that brain-resident autoreactive B cells were involved in headache pathogenesis and were eliminated by this procedure.
一名原发性干燥综合征患者出现严重且持续性偏头痛,对免疫抑制药物、曲坦类药物、阿片类药物及非甾体抗炎药治疗均无反应,鞘内注射利妥昔单抗进行B细胞清除治疗后取得成功。我们推测脑内自身反应性B细胞参与了头痛的发病机制,并通过该治疗过程被清除。
