Abstract
Migraine presents with high prevalence and similar clinical course with different disorders such as neurological, psychiatric, cardio- and cerebrovascular, gastrointestinal, metabolic-endocrine, and immunological conditions, which can often cooccur themselves. Multifaceted mechanisms subtend these comorbidities with a bidirectional link. First, a shared genetic load can explain the cooccurrence. Second, comorbid pathologies can promote disproportionate energetic needs, thalamocortical network dysexcitability, and systemic transient or persistent proinflammatory state, which may trigger the activation of a broad self-protective network that includes the trigeminovascular system in conjunction with the neuroendocrine hypothalamic system. This response results in maintenance of brain homeostasis by modulating subcortical-cortical excitability, energetic balance, osmoregulation, and emotional response. In this process, the CGRP is released in the trigeminovascular system. However, the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays several actions also outside the brain to maintain the homeostatic needs and is involved in the physiological functions of different systems, whose disorders are associated with migraine. This aspect further increases the complexity of migraine treatment, where standard therapies often have systemic adverse effects. On the other hand, some preventives can improve comorbid conditions. In summary, we propose that migraine management should involve a multidisciplinary approach to identify and mitigate potential risk factors and comorbidity and tailor therapies individually.
期刊介绍：
The Handbook of Clinical Neurology (HCN) was originally conceived and edited by Pierre Vinken and George Bruyn as a prestigious, multivolume reference work that would cover all the disorders encountered by clinicians and researchers engaged in neurology and allied fields. The first series of the Handbook (Volumes 1-44) was published between 1968 and 1982 and was followed by a second series (Volumes 45-78), guided by the same editors, which concluded in 2002. By that time, the Handbook had come to represent one of the largest scientific works ever published. In 2002, Professors Michael J. Aminoff, François Boller, and Dick F. Swaab took on the responsibility of supervising the third (current) series, the first volumes of which published in 2003. They have designed this series to encompass both clinical neurology and also the basic and clinical neurosciences that are its underpinning. Given the enormity and complexity of the accumulating literature, it is almost impossible to keep abreast of developments in the field, thus providing the raison d''être for the series. The series will thus appeal to clinicians and investigators alike, providing to each an added dimension. Now, more than 140 volumes after it began, the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series has an unparalleled reputation for providing the latest information on fundamental research on the operation of the nervous system in health and disease, comprehensive clinical information on neurological and related disorders, and up-to-date treatment protocols.
