Review, Journal: Botulinum Toxin in the Treatment of Headache. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 24, 2021 New types of botulinum toxin selective for sensory pain neurons may well be discovered or produced by recombinant DNA techniques in the coming decade, and this may greatly enhance its therapeutic usefulness. This review summarizes the evolution of botulinum toxin use in headache management over the past several decades and its role in the preventive treatment of chronic migraine and other headache disorders.

[VIRTUAL] Effects of erenumab on non-pain symptoms in patients with chronic migraine () - Jun 4, 2021 - Abstract #AHS2021AHS_346; P2 Switching to erenumab in non-responders, may be effective. This post-hoc analysis suggests that preventive treatment with erenumab in CM may reduce days with migraine-associated non-pain symptoms, highlighting the potential benefit of erenumab therapy in improving disease burden beyond migraine headache frequency.

[VIRTUAL] Rimegepant versus atogepant and monoclonal antibody treatments for the prevention of migraine: A systematic literature review and network meta-analysis () - Jun 4, 2021 - Abstract #AHS2021AHS_320; The evidence base consisted of placebo-controlled trials including the following treatments: rimegepant 75mg (oral tablet, every other day [EOD]), atogepant 10mg (oral, daily), 30mg (one or twice daily), 60mg (one or twice daily), erenumab 70mg, 140mg (subcutaneous injection [SC] monthly), galcanezumab 120mg, 240mg (SC, monthly), eptinezumab 30mg, 100mg, 300mg (intravenous infusion [IV], quarterly), and fremanezumab 225mg (SC, monthly), 675mg (SC, quarterly). Rimegepant, atogepant, and mAbs were all effective treatment options for the prevention of migraine when compared vs. placebo and generally showed similar effects when compared to one another.

[VIRTUAL] Patient preferences for self-injectable preventive treatments for migraine () - Jun 4, 2021 - Abstract #AHS2021AHS_269; Preferences for autoinjectors were driven by injection duration, auto-retractability of needle removal, storage requirements and the type of autoinjector base and pinching requirements. Among self-injectable migraine preventive treatments, participants preferred a profile similar to that of galcanezumab.

[VIRTUAL] Adherence and persistence associated with calcitonin gene-related peptide monoclonal antibodies compared to non-calcitonin gene-related peptide monoclonal antibodies treatments for prevention of migraine () - Jun 4, 2021 - Abstract #AHS2021AHS_260; Adults with 1 claim (first claim=index) for a CGRP mAb (galcanezumab, erenumab, fremanezumab) or non-CGRP mAb treatment (antidepressants, beta-blockers, anticonvulsants, or neurotoxin) between May 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019 with continuous enrollment in medical and pharmacy benefits for 12 months pre- and 6 months post-index were included. Patients on CGRP mAbs were more likely to be adherent and persistent compared to patients on non-CGRP mAbs.

Journal: Performance characterization of spring actuated autoinjector devices for Emgality and Aimovig. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 2, 2021 This study revealed performance differences between Emgality and Aimovig autoinjector devices, despite the fact that the delivery principle of these single-spring-actuated autoinjectors are the same. These differences may result in different risk of intramuscular injection and premature device removal, both of which need to be further verified in clinical trials.

Although all of these drugs seem highly promising for migraine treatment, their safety should be investigated in the long-term. Moreover, the exact mechanism(s) of action of these drugs need to be elucidated further, to increase both safety and efficacy and to increase the number of responders to the different treatments, so that all migraine patients can satisfactorily be treated.
