The proceedings contain 313 papers. The topics discussed include: the clinical efficacy of short-lasting ketogenic diet in migraine is due to a general normalization of the interictal cortical hyperresponsivity rather than to a direct modulation of the subcortical brainstem activity; efficacy of erenumab in subjects with episodic migraine with prior preventive treatment failure(s); phase 3, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of erenumab (AMG 334) in migraine prevention: primary results of the STRIVE trial; GLP-1 reduces cerebrospinal fluid secretion and intracranial pressure: a novel treatment for idiopathic intracranial hypertension?; interventional management in refractory headache disorders; tertiary center based experiences supported by application videos and a model for interactive practice of attenders; a phase 3 placebo-controlled study of galcanezumab in patients with chronic migraine: results from the 3-month double-blind treatment phase of the REGAIN study; rare primary headaches in Italian tertiary headache centres: a nationwide retrospective epidemiologic survey (RegistRare study); improving the differential diagnosis between migraine with aura and transient ischemic attacks; non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) for the acute treatment of migraine: the randomised controlled PRESTO trial; differences between episodic and chronic migraine in white-matter tracts: a diffusion-tensor imaging study; cerebral grey matter density is abnormally reduced in chronic migraine patients: correlations with clinical features; and the relationship between pain, psychiatric, and endocrine/neurological comorbidities of migraine: results from the chronic migraine epidemiology and outcomes (CaMEO) study.

Background: The cAMP and cGMP pathways are implicated in the initiation of migraine attacks, but their interactions remain unclear. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) triggers migraine attacks via cAMP, whereas the phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor sildenafil induces migraine attacks via cGMP. Our objective was to investigate whether sildenafil could induce migraine attacks in individuals with migraine pre-treated with the CGRP-receptor antibody erenumab. Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study, adults with migraine without aura received a single subcutaneous injection of 140 mg erenumab on day 1. They were then randomized to receive sildenafil 100 mg or placebo on two experimental days, each separated by at least one week, between days 8 and 21. The primary endpoint was the difference in the incidence of migraine attacks between sildenafil and placebo during the 12-h observation period after administration. Results: In total, 16 participants completed the study. Ten participants (63%) experienced a migraine attack within 12 h after sildenafil administration compared to three (19%) after placebo (p = 0.016). The median headache intensity was higher after sildenafil than after placebo (area under the curve (AUC) for the 12-h observation period, p = 0.026). Furthermore, sildenafil induced a significant decrease in mean arterial blood pressure (AUC, p = 0.026) and a simultaneous increase in heart rate (AUC, p < 0.001) during the first hour after administration compared to placebo. Conclusion: These findings provide evidence that migraine induction via the cGMP pathway can occur even under CGRP receptor blockade. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: Identifier NCT05889455.

This is a placebo-controlled, multi-arm phase II platform screening trial designed to test the safety, pain responses, and pharmacodynamic activity of multiple experimental therapies simultaneously in participants with moderate-to-severe pain due to schwannomatosis (SWN).
This Master Study is being conducted as a platform that may allow participants with pain associated with schwannomatosis to receive a novel intervention throughout this study. Embedded within the Master Study are individual drug sub-studies:
* Investigational Drug Sub-Study A: Siltuximab
* Investigation Drug Sub-Study B: Erenumab-Aooe

Background: Several novel treatments targeting the calcitonin gene-related peptide pathway have been developed for migraine. We evaluated the efficacy of these medications, including atogepant, rimegepant, erenumab, eptinezumab, fremanezumab, and galcanezumab, for the prevention of migraine via network meta-analysis. Methods: Databases, including MEDLINE via PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane central, were systematically reviewed, and all eligible phase 3 randomised controlled trials were included. Results: Nineteen studies (n = 14,584 participants) were included. Studies included episodic (n = 11) and chronic (n = 4) migraine or both (n = 4). All interventions, except for eptinzumab 30 mg, significantly reduced mean monthly migraine days compared to placebo. All medications had a higher ≥50% responder rate than placebo and results were statistically significant in those with the subcutaneous or intravenous route of administrations, but not with the oral one. All medications significantly reduced mean monthly headache days, although no data for this outcome was available for rimegepant, and mean monthly acute medication days, with no data for eptinezumab. Conclusion: The results show that medications targeting calcitonin gene-related peptide were effective in preventing migraine compared to placebo. Considering limitations of single studies, different populations such as episodic and chronic migraine, and the absence of head-to-head trials, all novel treatments decreased mean monthly migraine and headache days, and showed higher 50%, 75% and 100% responder rates than placebo.

Abstract Background Migraine is one of the most common neurological disorders that leads to disabilities. However, the conventional drug therapy for migraine is unsatisfactory. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of calcitonin-gene-related peptide binding monoclonal antibody (CGRP mAb) for the preventive treatment of episodic migraine, and provide high-quality clinical evidence for migraine therapy.Methods A systematic electronic database search was conducted to identify the potentially relevant studies. Two independent authors performed data extraction and quality appraisal. Mean difference (MD) and risk ratio (RR) were pooled for continuous and dichotomous data, respectively. The significance levels, weighted effect sizes and homogeneity of variance were calculated.Results Eleven high-quality randomized control trials that collectively included 4402 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Compared to placebo group, CGRP mAb therapy resulted in a reduction of monthly migraine days [weighted mean difference (WMD) = −1.44, 95% CI = (−1.68,−1.19)] and acute migraine-specific medication days [WMD = −1.28, 95% CI = (−1.66,−0.90)], with an improvement in 50% responder rate [RR = 1.51, 95% CI =(1.37,1.66)]. In addition, the adverse events (AEs) and treatment withdrawal rates due to AEs were not significantly different between CGRP mAb and placebo groups. Similar efficacy and safety results were obtained for erenumab, fremanezumab, and galcanezumab in subgroup analysis.Conclusions The current body of evidence reveals that CGRP mAb is an effective and safe preventive treatment for episodic migraine.
