Discovering that calcitonin-related peptide (CGRP) plays a key role in the complex pathophysiology of migraine has allowed us to make great strides in the development of new approaches for acute and preventive treatment. This evidence has led to the development of small molecules antagonist molecules of the CGRP receptor ("gepants") and of a new class of medications called "Ditans". This review presents the data from clinical trials reporting the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the new drugs used in the treatment of migraines. Evidences show that therapeutic approaches targeted to CGRP have the potential to transform the clinical management of migraine, even though its appropriate place has yet to be determined with accuracy.
发现降钙素基因相关肽(CGRP)在偏头痛复杂的病理生理学中起关键作用,这使我们在急性和预防性治疗新方法的开发方面取得了巨大进展。这一证据促使了CGRP受体小分子拮抗剂分子(“gepants”)以及一类名为“Ditans”的新型药物的研发。本综述展示了临床试验数据,这些数据报告了用于治疗偏头痛的新药的疗效、安全性和耐受性。证据表明,针对CGRP的治疗方法有可能改变偏头痛的临床管理,尽管其确切的适用位置尚未准确确定。
