The gut - brain axis plays a significant role in the pathophysiology of migraine. This interaction can be influenced by multiple factors, such as gut microbiota profiles. The aim of the study was to analyze the gut microbiome state in patients with migraine and healthy individuals, to assess possible correlations between the detected changes in patients with migraine and the frequency, intensity of headaches, their psycho-emotional state, and quality of life. In total, 112 patients-16.3% of men and 83.7% of women. Subjects were divided into 2 groups depending on the presence of migraine: the main - patients with chronic and episodic forms of migraine, the control - healthy individuals. The study of the intestinal microbiome was performed by chromato-mass spectrometry. The following scales were used: Visual Analogue Scale/VAS, Migraine Disability Assessment/MIDAS, Back Depression Inventory/BDI. In patients with migraine compared with healthy individuals, significant changes were noted in the quantitative composition of certain resident microorganisms including Alcaligenes spp (p=0.0061), Clostridium coccoides (p=0.0021), Clostridium propionicum (p=0.0287), Eggerthella lenta (p=0.0138), Pseudonocardia spp (p=0.0210), and Rhodococcus spp (p=0.0164). The number of microscopic fungi such as Candida spp (p=0.0079), Micromycetes spp (p=0.0011) and Micromycetes spp (p=0.0010) were increased in patients with migraine compared to the control group. In the main group, a negative correlation was found between the level of 16 Alcaligenes spp and the score on the BDI score, HARS score (respectively: r= -0.6226, p= 0.007; r= -0.509, p=0.03), the frequency of attacks (r=-0.4879, p=0.046) and the VAS score (r=-0.487, p=0.046). Significant negative correlation was found between elevated level of Clostridium coccoides and MIDAS score (r=-0.5123, p=0.03), BDI score (r=-0.54, p=0.025) in the patients with migraine. At the same time, in the main group a positive correlation was detected between Eggerthella lenta level of and VAS score (r=0.4830, p=0.049). In the main group negative correlations were found between slightly increased content of endotoxin in the main group, the BDI score, HARS score (respectively: r=-0.697, p=0.001; r=-0.557, p=0.02) the frequency of attacks (r=-0.547, p=0.023), on the VAS score (r= -0.531, p=0.028), as well as MIDAS score (r =-0.556, p=0.02). The revealed peculiarities of gut microbiome changes in patients with migraines need further clarification in order to identify the possible role of the gut microbiome in the pathogenesis, clinical picture, and therapy of migraine, and is a promising area of further scientific research.
肠-脑轴在偏头痛的病理生理学中起着重要作用。这种相互作用会受到多种因素的影响,如肠道微生物群谱。本研究的目的是分析偏头痛患者和健康个体的肠道微生物组状态,评估偏头痛患者检测到的变化与头痛频率、强度、心理情绪状态及生活质量之间可能存在的相关性。共有112例患者,其中男性占16.3%,女性占83.7%。根据是否患有偏头痛,受试者被分为两组:主要组为慢性和发作性偏头痛患者,对照组为健康个体。通过色谱-质谱法对肠道微生物组进行研究。使用了以下量表:视觉模拟量表(VAS)、偏头痛残疾评估量表(MIDAS)、贝克抑郁量表(BDI)。与健康个体相比,偏头痛患者某些常驻微生物的定量组成有显著变化,包括产碱菌属(p = 0.0061)、球状梭菌(p = 0.0021)、丙酸梭菌(p = 0.0287)、迟缓埃格特菌(p = 0.0138)、假诺卡氏菌属(p = 0.0210)和红球菌属(p = 0.0164)。与对照组相比,偏头痛患者中念珠菌属(p = 0.0079)、微真菌属(p = 0.0011)和微真菌属(p = 0.0010)等微观真菌的数量增加。在主要组中,产碱菌属水平与BDI评分、医院焦虑抑郁量表(HARS)评分之间呈负相关(分别为:r = -0.6226,p = 0.007;r = -0.509,p = 0.03)、发作频率(r = -0.4879,p = 0.046)和VAS评分(r = -0.487,p = 0.046)。在偏头痛患者中,球状梭菌水平升高与MIDAS评分(r = -0.5123,p = 0.03)、BDI评分(r = -0.54,p = 0.025)之间存在显著负相关。同时,在主要组中,迟缓埃格特菌水平与VAS评分之间呈正相关(r = 0.4830,p = 0.049)。在主要组中,主要组内内毒素含量略有增加与BDI评分、HARS评分之间呈负相关(分别为:r = -0.697,p = 0.001;r = -0.557,p = 0.02)、发作频率(r = -0.547,p = 0.023)、VAS评分(r = -0.531,p = 0.028)以及MIDAS评分(r = -0.556,p = 0.02)。偏头痛患者肠道微生物组变化的这些特点需要进一步阐明,以便确定肠道微生物组在偏头痛发病机制、临床表现和治疗中的可能作用,这是一个有前景的进一步科学研究领域。
