However, its price limits its use as a first line therapy against migraine. Therefore, identifying patients who will adequately respond to such treatment is paramount. Methods: In this retrospective, real-life cohort study, 172 adult patients with refractory episodic or chronic migraine treated with Erenumab were included. To identify the predictors of response to Erenumab, bivariate subgroup analysis of several potential factors was performed, and multivariate logistic regression modeling was done to obtain Odds Ratio (OR). Results: Of the 172 patients, 57.0% achieved a successful treatment response (reduction of monthly migraine days by ≥50%). Statistically significant predictors of a treatment response were the presence of chronic migraine, tension-type headache, and a positive response to triptan with an odd ratio of 0.473 (95% CI, 0.235–0.952), 0.485 (95% CI, 0.245–0.962) and 3.985 (95% CI, 1.811–8.770), respectively (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Successful Erenumab treatment response rate was 57.0% in this retrospective cohort. As chronic migraine and tension-type headache were negative predictors of Erenumab response while triptan response was a positive predictor, this data suggests the potential for Erenumab monotherapy without the need for traditional preventive treatment in refractory migraine sufferers improving side effect profile and treatment adherence for a cohort of patients difficult to treat.","PeriodicalId":9702,"journal":{"name":"Cephalalgia Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/25158163211026646","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49175799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is evidence of altered central pain processing in adult PTH; however, little is known about how children with PTH process pain. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) plays a critical role in descending central pain modulation. In this study, we explored whether the functional connectivity (FC) of the ACC is altered in children with PTH. Methods: In this case-control study, we investigated resting-state FC of 5 ACC seeds (caudal, dorsal, rostral, perigenual, and subgenual) in children with PTH (n = 73) and without PTH (n = 29) following mTBI, and healthy controls (n = 27). Post-concussion symptoms were assessed using the Post-Concussion Symptom Inventory and the Child Health Questionnaire. Resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data were used to generate maps of ACC FC. Group-level comparisons were performed within a target mask comprised of pain-related regions using FSL Randomise. Results: We found decreased FC between the right perigenual ACC and the left cerebellum, and increased FC between the right subgenual ACC and the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in children with PTH compared to healthy controls. The ACC FC in children without PTH following mTBI did not differ from the group with PTH or healthy controls. FC between rostral and perigenual ACC seeds and the cerebellum was increased in children with PTH with pre-injury headaches compared to those with PTH without pre-injury headaches. There was a positive relationship between PTH severity and rostral ACC FC with the bilateral thalamus, right hippocampus and periaqueductal gray. Conclusions: Central pain processing is altered in children with PTH. Pre-existing headaches help to drive this process. Trial registration: The PlayGame Trial was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov database (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01874847).","PeriodicalId":9702,"journal":{"name":"Cephalalgia Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/25158163211009477","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43674171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This pilot study was made to determine craniofacial sensations accompanying short phases of changing barometric pressure. Methods: In a crossover design, 15 adult healthy subjects were exposed in a climate chamber to 8 min phases of barometric pressure lowering by 0, 20 and 40 hPa. The subjects rated their sensations of ear pressure, head compression and the occurrence of headache every minute on a visual analogue scale (VAS, range 0–10). Pulse rate was recorded as a parameter for autonomic functions. Results: Nearly all subjects experienced ear pressure and half of them compression of their head at variable degrees. These sensations started in most subjects during the phase of lowering barometric pressure and increased to an average rating of about 3 VAS when returning to ambient atmospheric pressure. Heart rate slightly decreased during this phase. Three subjects reported mild to moderate headache for various durations within these phases. Conclusions: Changes in barometric pressure can be associated with sensations of ear pressure and head compression and may trigger headaches. The generation of these sensations is discussed with regard to convergent trigeminal innervation of the ear, the paranasal sinuses and the cranial meninges.","PeriodicalId":9702,"journal":{"name":"Cephalalgia Reports","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/25158163211000362","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41674516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rozen","doi":"10.1177/25158163211040072","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/25158163211040072","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: To define a new type of head pain syndrome termed “cranial suture headache” which is a localized headache originating along the cranial suture lines of the skull. Background: Well localized headaches maybe extracranial in origin. As trigeminal nociceptors are localized within the cranial sutures of the skull, these fibrous joints maybe the source of head pain for some patients. Methods: Case series. To diagnose cranial suture headache, the patient’s pain had to be localized to the skull and elicited/mimicked by mild to moderate palpation over one or more distinct cranial suture lines. Results: Ten cases are presented. Most of the patients were women (9/10). The headache started daily from onset in all cases. Range of age of headache onset was 32–64 years. Headache was one sided, unless confined to the midline and typically lacked any migrainous and/or cranial autonomic symptoms. Most cranial suture headaches localized to either the sagittal, coronal or squamosal suture lines. Headache duration prior to diagnosis was on average 8.5 years. Triggering events: three began immediately after head trauma, two had very remote head trauma, one was post infectious, one was post craniotomy, while three patients had no known triggering event. All patients were treatment refractory failing at least three preventive medications. All improved with localized anesthetic injection to the suture line(s) and/or onabotulinum toxin A injection only to the cranial sutures. Discussion: Without the recognition of cranial suture-based pain, patients may have unremitting headaches that can last years to decades. The observation that “cranial suture” headache improves with localized treatment only to the cranial sutures would seem to suggest the extracranial origin of the pain.","PeriodicalId":9702,"journal":{"name":"Cephalalgia Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46018837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Headaches are generally unilateral, throbbing, 4–72 h in duration, and associated with nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and sonophobia. Chronic migraine (CM) is the presence of a headache at least 15 days per month for ≥3 months and has a high global impact on health and economy, and therapeutic guidelines are lacking. Methods: Using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations system, we conducted a search in MEDLINE and Cochrane to investigate the current evidence and generate recommendations of clinical practice on the identification of risk factors and treatment of CM in adults. Results: We recommend avoiding overmedication of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); ergotamine; caffeine; opioids; barbiturates; and initiating individualized prophylactic treatment with topiramate eptinezumab, galcanezumab, erenumab, fremanezumab, or botulinum toxin. We highlight the necessity of managing comorbidities initially. In the acute management, we recommend NSAIDs, triptans, lasmiditan, and gepants alone or with metoclopramide if nausea or vomiting. Non-pharmacological measures include neurostimulation. Conclusions: We have identified the risk factors and treatments available for the management of CM based on a grading system, which facilitates selection for individualized management.","PeriodicalId":9702,"journal":{"name":"Cephalalgia Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/25158163211033969","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47379813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While trigeminal neuralgia (TN) due to space-occupying lesions is atypical, such lesions rarely cause severe TN secondary to trigeminal nerve irritation. Mass effect from these lesions has been shown to correlate with symptom burden, due to direct or indirect compressive effects. A tethering effect, provoked by an abnormal root-stretching force, theoretically plays a role in trigeminal nerve hyperexcitability. Case: The likely etiology in this case presentation is a large glomus tumor invading the middle and posterior cranial fossa. Glomus tumors are uncommon benign tumors of the head and neck derived from neural crest cells. Even more strikingly, a large glomus tumor causes bilateral TN due to direct compression on one side and indirect compression on the contralateral side. Conclusion: Although the gold standard in TN management is carbamazepine, other anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) have been used in the treatment of patients unable to take carbamazepine. A few studies suggest levetiracetam alleviates central and neuropathic pain, supporting the hypothesis that it may be effective in management of TN.","PeriodicalId":9702,"journal":{"name":"Cephalalgia Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42426514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
