INTRODUCTION: Limited clinical evidence is available regarding the potential effectiveness of anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies for the preventive treatment of migraine with aura. AIM OF THE STUDY: This observational study involved a series of migraine patients affected by either migraine with or without aura, who were investigated for any changes in their frequencies and their migraine aura attack characteristics observed during treatment with anti-CGRP Mabs over a 1-year period. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twelve migraine patients were included, seven of whom were treated with erenumab, 2 with fremanezumab, and 3 with galcanezumab. Clinical data were collected at baseline, which were defined as 3 months prior to the initiation of treatment, and thereafter at each trimester, over the 1-year treatment period. The parameters included the number of headache and migraine days/month, the frequency of aura episodes, the number of days with acute drug intakes/month, and the scores from the migraine disability status scale (MIDAS), and the Headache Impact Test 6 (HIT-6). RESULTS: Anti-CGRP Mbs antibodies induced significant decreases in mean headache and migraine without aura days per month, the number of days with medication intake, as well as MIDAS and HIT-6 scores (p < 0.0001). In contrast, the anti-CGRP Mab treatment did not appear to impact the frequency of migraine with aura attacks but seemed to reduce both the intensity and the duration of headache phases of migraine aura. Furthermore, some migraine patients referred to having aura attacks without headache over the course of the treatment period. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the above findings, we hypothesize that anti-CGRP Mabs did not influence neuronal and vascular events related to cortical spreading depression (CSD) which is considered the pathophysiological substrate of aura. Conversely, these antibodies are able to counteract, via their peripheral mechanisms of action, the sensitization of the trigemino-vascular pathway which is triggered by CSD. This aforementioned might explain why in our patients, migraine aura attacks remained unchanged in their frequencies, but the headache phases were either reduced or absent.
简介:关于抗 CGRP 单克隆抗体在预防有先兆偏头痛方面的潜在有效性,目前仅有有限的临床证据。
目的:本观察性研究涉及一系列偏头痛患者,包括有或无先兆偏头痛患者,观察他们在接受抗 CGRP Mabs 治疗 1 年后,其频率以及偏头痛先兆发作特征的变化。
患者和方法:纳入了 12 名偏头痛患者,其中 7 名接受依那西普治疗,2 名接受 fremanezumab 治疗,3 名接受 galcanezumab 治疗。在治疗前的 3 个月内,即基线时收集临床数据,并在此后 1 年的治疗期间,每 3 个月收集一次数据。参数包括每月头痛和偏头痛天数/月、先兆发作频率、每月急性药物摄入天数、偏头痛残疾状况量表(MIDAS)和头痛影响测试 6(HIT-6)评分。
结果:抗 CGRP Mabs 抗体显著降低了每月无先兆偏头痛和偏头痛的平均头痛天数、药物摄入天数以及 MIDAS 和 HIT-6 评分(p<0.0001)。相比之下,抗 CGRP Mab 治疗似乎并不影响有先兆偏头痛发作的频率,但似乎可以减轻偏头痛先兆头痛阶段的强度和持续时间。此外,一些偏头痛患者在治疗期间报告出现无头痛的先兆发作。
结论:基于上述发现,我们假设抗 CGRP Mabs 并未影响被认为是先兆病理生理学基础的皮质扩散性抑制(CSD)相关的神经元和血管事件。相反,这些抗体通过其外周作用机制,能够对抗由 CSD 触发的三叉神经血管途径的敏化。这可以解释为什么在我们的患者中,偏头痛先兆发作的频率保持不变,但头痛阶段要么减少,要么消失。
