In this study, we comprehensively assessed the role of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) in the management of intractable migraine. Although the exact pathophysiology of migraine remains a subject of debate, the neurovascular theory of migraine has gained attention recently following multiple studies assessing the role of the MMA in migraine pathophysiology. In addition, the successful utilization of lidocaine both through intravenous injection and directly into the MMA, as well as favorable results observed in the form of headache relief following MMA embolization (MMAE) in patients with chronic subdural hematoma, has further substantiated the neurovascular theory hypothesis. In this study, we evaluated the current evidence, potential trends, role of other injection medications, as well as risks and limitations of MMAE in the management of patients with refractory migraine. Intractable migraine is a complex condition that often requires multimodal management. MMAE has emerged as a promising, novel therapeutic technique that may help reduce pain and minimize the need for additional treatments.

Multivariable logistic regression was used to test associations of reperfusion grade and clinical outcomes.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Of 1037 included patients, final eTICI 0-1 was achieved in 46 (4.4%), eTICI 2a in 76 (7.3%), eTICI 2b in 424 (40.9%), eTICI 2c in 284 (27.4%), and eTICI 3 in 207 (20%) patients. The odds for good and excellent clinical outcome gradually increased with improved reperfusion grades (adjOR ranging from 5.7-29.3 and 4.3-17.6) and decreased for sICH and death. No differences in outcomes between first-pass versus multiple-pass eTICI 2c3, eTICI 2b converted-to-eTICI 2c3 versus unchanged eTICI 2b and between sudden versus gradual eTICI 2c3 reperfusion were observed.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Better reperfusion degrees significantly improved clinical outcomes and reduced mortality, independent of the number of passes and whether eTICI 2c3 was achieved suddenly or gradually.</p>","PeriodicalId":14380,"journal":{"name":"Interventional Neuroradiology","volume":" ","pages":"804-811"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11559916/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142465507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
