Abstract
Background: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), implicated in migraine pain, also possesses bone anabolic properties, which leads to the possibility that monoclonal antibodies targeting CGRP (anti-CGRPs) might increase the risk of bone density abnormalities.
Objective: The objective of this study was to explore bone mineral density abnormalities in a cohort of migraine patients treated with anti-CGRPs.
Methods: This was a single-center, cross-sectional, cohort study including migraine patients who underwent a densitometry assessment during anti-CGRP treatment. We assessed the frequency of osteopenia or osteoporosis (OSTEO+ status), defined as a bone mineral density T-score of -1 to -2.5, and <-2.5 standard deviations from the young female adult mean, respectively. Additionally, the association of OSTEO+ status with anti-CGRP treatment duration and primary osteoporosis' risk factors was investigated using logistic regression models.
Results: Data from 51 patients (43 female, mean age 46 ± 13.9 years) were evaluated. The mean duration of anti-CGRP treatment was 15.7 (±11.8) months. Twenty-seven patients (53%) were OSTEO+ (n = 22 osteopenia; n = 5 osteoporosis). In the final model, menopause [odds ratio 11.641 (95% confidence interval 1.486-91.197), p = 0.019] and anti-seizure drug use [odds ratio 12.825 (95% confidence interval 1.162-141.569), p = 0.037] were associated with OSTEO+ status.
Conclusions: In our cohort of migraine patients, no evidence of an association between anti-CGRP treatment duration and an increasing risk of bone mineral density abnormalities was found. However, these findings are preliminary and necessitate further longitudinal research with larger cohorts and extended follow-up to be validated.
期刊介绍:
CNS Drugs promotes rational pharmacotherapy within the disciplines of clinical psychiatry and neurology. The Journal includes:
- Overviews of contentious or emerging issues.
- Comprehensive narrative reviews that provide an authoritative source of information on pharmacological approaches to managing neurological and psychiatric illnesses.
- Systematic reviews that collate empirical evidence to answer a specific research question, using explicit, systematic methods as outlined by the PRISMA statement.
- Adis Drug Reviews of the properties and place in therapy of both newer and established drugs in neurology and psychiatry.
- Original research articles reporting the results of well-designed studies with a strong link to clinical practice, such as clinical pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies, clinical trials, meta-analyses, outcomes research, and pharmacoeconomic and pharmacoepidemiological studies.
Additional digital features (including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations) can be published with articles; these are designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. In addition, articles published in CNS Drugs may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand important medical advances.
