Purpose of Review

This review evaluates and explains our current understanding of a rare subtype of migraine, typical aura without headache, also known as migraine aura without headache or acephalgic migraine.

Recent Findings

Typical aura without headache is a known entity within the spectrum of migraine. Its pathophysiology is suggested to be similar to classic migraines, with cortical spreading depression leading to aura formation but without an associated headache. No clinical trials have been performed to evaluate treatment options, but case reports suggest that most patients will respond to the traditional treatments for migraine with aura. Bilateral greater occipital nerve blocks may be helpful in aborting migraine with prolonged aura. Transcranial magnetic stimulation has shown efficacy in aborting attacks of migraine with aura but has not been specifically tested in isolated aura.

Summary

Typical aura without headache occurs exclusively in 4% patients with migraine, and may take place at some point in 38% of patients with migraine with aura. Typical aura without headache commonly presents with visual aura without headache, brainstem aura without headache, and can also develop later in life, known as late-onset migraine accompaniment.

Purpose of Review

To review the pathophysiologic, epidemiologic, and clinical evidence for similarities and differences between migraine with and without aura.

Recent Findings

The ICHD-3 has recently refined the diagnostic criteria for aura to include positive symptomatology, which better differentiates aura from TIA. Although substantial evidence supports cortical spreading depression as the cause of visual aura, the role (if any) of CSD in headache pain is not well understood. Recent imaging evidence suggests a possible hypothalamic origin for a headache attack, but further research is needed. Migraine with aura is associated with a modest increase in the risk of ischemic stroke. The etiology for this association remains unclear. There is a paucity of evidence regarding treatments specifically aimed at the migraine with aura subtype, or whether migraine with vs without aura responds to treatment differently. Migraine with typical aura is therefore often treated similarly to migraine without aura. Lamotrigine, daily aspirin, and flunarizine have evidence for efficacy in prevention of migraine with aura, and magnesium, ketamine, furosemide, and single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation have evidence for use as acute treatments. Although triptans have traditionally been contraindicated in hemiplegic migraine and migraine with brainstem aura, this prohibition is being reconsidered in the face of evidence suggesting that use may be safe.

Summary

The debate as to whether migraine with and without aura are different entities is ongoing. In an era of sophisticated imaging, genetic advancement, and ongoing clinical trials, efforts to answer this question are likely to yield important and clinically meaningful results.

Purpose of Review

Vasoactive peptides play a key role in the attack-initiating cascade of migraine. Recent studies have highlighted a potentially important role for endothelin-1, a potent vasoconstrictor peptide, in migraine pathophysiology. Here, we review the current data on endothelin’s involvement in migraine.

Recent Findings

We identified 23 articles. Nine studies reported on endothelin-1 plasma concentrations in patients with migraine, eight studies investigated relevant genetic associations, five studies investigated endothelin-1 and spreading depression in animals, and one randomized controlled clinical trial tested the efficacy of an endothelin antagonist in the acute treatment of migraine in patients both with and without aura. Elevated endothelin-1 plasma levels have been reported in the early phase of migraine attacks. Genetic abnormalities related to the endothelin type A receptor have been reported in migraineurs. Endothelin-1 potently induces spreading depression in animals, which may explain the connection between endothelial irritation and migraine aura.

Summary

Endothelin-1 could be a primary factor in the attack-triggering cascade of migraine attacks with and without aura. Additional studies in humans and animal models are needed to further elucidate the role of endothelin-1 in migraine.

Purpose of Review

Symptoms of autonomic dysfunction are common in patients with migraine, both during and between migraine attacks. Studies evaluating objective autonomic testing in patients have found significant, though somewhat conflicting results. The purposes of this review are to summarize and interpret the key findings of these studies, including those evaluating heart rate variability, autonomic reflex testing, and functional imaging in patients with migraine. The neuroanatomy of the central autonomic network as it relates to migraine is also reviewed.

Recent Findings

Several studies have evaluated autonomic balance in migraineurs, with conflicting results on the magnitude of sympathetic versus parasympathetic dysfunction. Most studies demonstrate sympathetic impairment, with a lesser degree of parasympathetic impairment.

Summary

Three trends have emerged: (1) migraine with aura tends to produce more significant autonomic dysfunction than migraine without aura, (2) sympathetic impairment is more common than parasympathetic impairment, and (3) sympathetic impairment is common in the interictal period, with increased sympathetic responsiveness during the ictal period, suggesting adrenoreceptor hypersensitivity.

Background

Resting state magnetic resonance imaging allows studying functionally interconnected brain networks. Here we were aimed to verify functional connectivity between brain networks at rest and its relationship with thalamic microstructure in migraine without aura (MO) patients between attacks.

Methods

Eighteen patients with untreated MO underwent 3 T MRI scans and were compared to a group of 19 healthy volunteers (HV). We used MRI to collect resting state data among two selected resting state networks, identified using group independent component (IC) analysis. Fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) values of bilateral thalami were retrieved from a previous diffusion tensor imaging study on the same subjects and correlated with resting state ICs Z-scores.

Results

In comparison to HV, in MO we found significant reduced functional connectivity between the default mode network and the visuo-spatial system. Both HV and migraine patients selected ICs Z-scores correlated negatively with FA values of the thalamus bilaterally.

Conclusions

The present results are the first evidence supporting the hypothesis that an abnormal resting within networks connectivity associated with significant differences in baseline thalamic microstructure could contribute to interictal migraine pathophysiology.

Purpose of review

The goal of this review is to provide an actualized overview on vestibular migraine in childhood and adolescence, with focus on the epidemiology and clinical presentation as well as its treatment.

Recent findings

Vertigo spells in childhood can evolve into other periodic syndromes and/or migraine types and persist even into adulthood.

Summary

Vestibular migraine (VM) and benign paroxysmal vertigo are the most common causes of vertigo in children and adolescents. The diagnostic criteria for VM are dizziness and vertigo, headache, phonophobia and photophobia, and visual aura. The prevention of attacks is the treatment for children and adolescents with VM, as is recommended for migraine with or without aura. Thus, non-pharmacological measures are the first-line option; when these measures fail or daily activities are notably affected, drugs are administrated. Psychological assessment and cognitive behavioral therapy are also important therapeutic measures in this patient group. There is still insufficient research on VM in children and adolescents; future studies on clinical presentation, evolvement, and specific treatment are necessary.

Purpose

Migraine is associated with vascular disorders, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. Nitric oxide (NO) sensitivity is believed to play a major role in migraine pathophysiology. We investigated flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD) and nitroglycerin-mediated vasodilatation (NMD) of the brachial artery by means of a key molecular mediator, NO, in patients with migraine without aura in the interictal period whether the abnormality is found.

Methods

A total of 12 patients with migraine without aura and 12 matched healthy controls were enrolled in this study. FMD and NMD were measured in all patients and controls using brachial artery ultrasonography.

Results

There was no significant difference in brachial artery diameter between migraineurs and nonmigraineurs (3.39?±?0.68 vs 3.89?±?0.67 mm, respectively; p?=?0.083). A significant difference in FMD was not found between migraineurs and nonmigraineurs (6.94?±?5.72 vs 6.08?±?2.98%, respectively; p?=?0.651). However, NMD in migraineurs was significant higher than that in nonmigraineurs (21.56?±?7.36 vs 14.23?±?7.41%, respectively; p?=?0.024).

Conclusion

We think that patients with migraine without aura in the interictal period have selective sensitivity in dilator response to nitroglycerin and may have systemic NO sensitivity.

Purpose of Review

This review is intended to examine how the diagnostic criteria for migraine have evolved over the past 45 years and to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the current diagnostic criteria promulgated by the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD).

Recent Findings

The ICHD is a comprehensive and systematic classification system for headache disorders. As the pathophysiology of migraine is more fully elucidated and more sophisticated diagnostic technologies are developed (e.g., the identification of biomarkers), the current diagnostic criteria for migraine will likely be further refined. The ICHD has allowed for more precise research study design in the field of headache medicine.

Summary

The current diagnostic criteria for migraine outlined in the 3rd version of the ICHD are far more sensitive and specific than the clinical criteria proposed in 1962. In future iterations, dividing episodic and chronic migraine into subtypes based on frequency (i.e., low frequency vs high frequency; near-daily vs daily) potentially could assist in guiding clinical management. In addition, a better understanding of aura, vestibular migraine, migrainous infarction, and hemiplegic migraine likely will lead to more refined diagnostic criteria for those entities.

Purpose of the Review

The goals of this review are to evaluate recent studies regarding comorbidity between migraine and different metabolic and endocrine disorders and to discuss the role of insulin resistance as a common pathogenetic mechanism of these diseases.

Recent Findings

Recently, several studies showed that migraine is associated with insulin resistance, a condition in which a normal amount of insulin induces a suboptimal physiological response. All the clinical studies that used the oral glucose tolerance test to examine insulin sensitivity found that, after glucose load, there is in migraine patients a significant increase of both plasmatic insulin and glucose concentrations in comparison with controls. On the contrary, no association was found between migraine and type 2 diabetes, while type 1 diabetes seems to have a protective effect in the disease. Obesity and hypertension were shown to be risk factors for both episodic and chronic migraine. Metabolic syndrome has been recently associated mainly with migraine with aura and is now considered a risk factor also for medication overuse headache. Finally, a bidirectional association between migraine and hypothyroidism has been recently demonstrated, suggesting that common genetic or autoimmune mechanisms underlie both diseases.

Summary

Recent studies showed that insulin receptor signaling and the related physiological responses are altered in migraine and may have a relevant pathogenic role in the disease. Further studies are warranted in order to better elucidate mechanisms underlying insulin resistance in migraine in order to develop new therapeutic strategies for this debilitating disease.

Purpose of Review

It is sometimes assumed that children and adolescents with migraine have a psychiatric or behavioral comorbidity, a belief that can be stigmatizing. This review will examine the recent literature addressing this area to determine if pediatric and adolescent migraineurs are at increased risk for psychiatric comorbidity and to discuss management strategies.

Recent Findings

A large systematic review of pediatric and adolescent studies concluded anxiety and depression were not associated with onset of recurrent headaches. Children with increasing migraine frequency have reduced school attendance. Pediatric migraineurs have mildly lower quality of life (QOL) scores than healthy peers but not abnormally low. Finally, children with higher migraine frequency as well as migraineurs with aura were more likely to report suicidal ideation.

Summary

Migraine is a primary neurologic disorder. Migraine and psychiatric disorders may be comorbid; however, at this time, it can be difficult to clearly delineate some migraine features from psychiatric diagnoses with the current screening tools available. The majority of pediatric migraineurs do not have behavioral comorbidities; however, when such comorbidities occur, they should be addressed and appropriately managed. We need more accurate ways of delineating psychiatric and behavioral comorbidities from the migraine phenotype.

Purpose

Cochlear implantation is a safe and effective surgical procedure to restore hearing in deaf patients. However, the level of restoration achieved may vary due to differences in anatomy, implant type and surgical access. In order to reduce the variability of the surgical outcomes, we previously proposed the use of a high-resolution model built from \(\mu \hbox {CT}\) images and then adapted to patient-specific clinical CT scans. As the accuracy of the model is dependent on the precision of the original segmentation, it is extremely important to have accurate \(\mu \hbox {CT}\) segmentation algorithms.

Methods

We propose a new framework for cochlea segmentation in ex vivo \(\mu \hbox {CT}\) images using random walks where a distance-based shape prior is combined with a region term estimated by a Gaussian mixture model. The prior is also weighted by a confidence map to adjust its influence according to the strength of the image contour. Random walks is performed iteratively, and the prior mask is aligned in every iteration.

Results

We tested the proposed approach in ten \(\mu \hbox {CT}\) data sets and compared it with other random walks-based segmentation techniques such as guided random walks (Eslami et al. in Med Image Anal 17(2):236–253, 2013) and constrained random walks (Li et al. in Advances in image and video technology. Springer, Berlin, pp 215–226, 2012). Our approach demonstrated higher accuracy results due to the probability density model constituted by the region term and shape prior information weighed by a confidence map.

Conclusion

The weighted combination of the distance-based shape prior with a region term into random walks provides accurate segmentations of the cochlea. The experiments suggest that the proposed approach is robust for cochlea segmentation.

Purpose of Review

Since up to 40.9% of reproductive aged women have migraine—and reproductive-aged women often reproduce—it is essential that we have good information and guidelines regarding proper treatment of migraine during pregnancy and lactation.

Recent Findings

A review of articles published in the last year on the treatment of migraine during pregnancy and lactation found dishearteningly little. Nevertheless, this article will review the risk/safety information related to migraine treatment in both pregnancy and lactation, citing both new and less recent publications.

Summary

There is little if any formal research is being carried out on pharmacotherapy for migraine that occurs during pregnancy or lactation. This is likely due to two issues: (1) neurology offers little training in female sex hormones, while gynecology is a surgical field; (2) there is the ever-present concern of litigation if any bad outcome occurs, yet there is no designation of “legally safe” that can be applied to a drug’s use in pregnancy and lactation.

Purpose of Review

Episodic migraine is common. Everyday behavioral patterns are associated with migraine attacks and disability. This paper reviews health behaviors that can be targeted in people with episodic migraine to enhance migraine-related outcomes.

Recent Findings

Stressful events and perceived stress have demonstrated associations with migraine attack onset among people with episodic migraine. Consistency in daily patterns (eating, sleeping, exercise, and hydration status) is also associated with migraine activity. Sleep deprivation, fatigue, and poor quality sleep have demonstrated relationships with migraine attack onset, as well as headache frequency and headache-related disability in people with episodic migraine.

Summary

The health behaviors implicated in episodic migraine are part of everyday patterns and can be targeted routinely in clinical practice to improve migraine management. Behavior change is challenging and should ideally be supported by a multidisciplinary team. Future research should focus on evaluating specific behavior change interventions and the relative impact of behavior on migraine outcomes in high- and low-frequency episodic migraine.

Purpose

Augmenting intraoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images with preoperative computed tomography data in the context of image-guided liver therapy is proposed. The expected benefit is an improved visualization of tumor(s), vascular system and other internal structures of interest.

Method

An automatic elastic registration based on matching of vascular trees extracted from both the preoperative and intraoperative images is presented. Although methods dedicated to nonrigid graph matching exist, they are not efficient when large intraoperative deformations of tissues occur, as is the case during the liver surgery. The contribution is an extension of the graph matching algorithm using Gaussian process regression (GPR) (Serradell et al. in IEEE Trans Pattern Anal Mach Intell 37(3):625–638, 2015): First, an improved GPR matching is introduced by imposing additional constraints during the matching when the number of hypothesis is large; like the original algorithm, this extended version does not require a manual initialization of matching. Second, a fast biomechanical model is employed to make the method capable of handling large deformations.

Results

The proposed automatic intraoperative augmentation is evaluated on both synthetic and real data. It is demonstrated that the algorithm is capable of handling large deformations, thus being more robust and reliable than previous approaches. Moreover, the time required to perform the elastic registration is compatible with the intraoperative navigation scenario.

Conclusion

A biomechanics-based graph matching method, which can handle large deformations and augment intraoperative CBCT, is presented and evaluated.

Purpose of Review

Spreading depression (SD) is a wave of simultaneous and near-complete depolarization of virtually all cells in brain tissue associated with a transient “depression” of all spontaneous or evoked electrical activity in the brain. SD is widely accepted as the pathophysiological event underlying migraine aura and may play a role in headache pathogenesis in secondary headache disorders such as ischemic stroke, subarachnoid or intracerebral hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, and epilepsy. Here, we provide an overview of the pathogenic mechanisms and propose plausible hypotheses on the involvement of SD in primary and secondary headache disorders.

Recent Findings

SD can activate downstream trigeminovascular nociceptive pathways to explain the cephalgia in migraine, and possibly in secondary headache disorders as well. In healthy, well-nourished tissue (such as migraine), the intense transmembrane ionic shifts, the cell swelling, and the metabolic and hemodynamic responses associated with SD do not cause tissue injury; however, when SD occurs in metabolically compromised tissue (e.g., in ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, or traumatic brain injury), it can lead to irreversible depolarization, injury, and neuronal death. Recent non-invasive technologies to detect SDs in human brain injury may aid in the investigation of SD in headache disorders in which invasive recordings are not possible.

Summary

SD explains migraine aura and progression of neurological deficits associated with other neurological disorders. Studying the nature of SD in headache disorders might provide pathophysiological insights for disease and lead to targeted therapies in the era of precision medicine.

Introduction

Large postmarketing surveillance (PMS) studies have demonstrated the efficacy and tolerability of frovatriptan for treatment of acute migraine in patients attending general practitioners (GPs). The aim of the ALADIN (Allegro® Anwendung durch interessierte Neurologen [Allegro® application by interested neurologists]) PMS study was to evaluate frovatriptan in patients attending neurologists or pain therapists.

Methods

Patients fulfilling International Headache Society criteria for migraine, with or without aura, were enrolled. Patients completed an attack diary, including details of the attack, time to onset of action of frovatriptan, and recurrence of headache. Physicians completed a case report form detailing prior and actual migraine treatment. Frovatriptan 2.5 mg was administered for up to three consecutive attacks.

Results

In total, 2160 patients were enrolled and data were obtained for 5831 attacks. Patients attending neurologists had more frequent attacks and longer history of migraine compared with those attending GPs. Median time to frovatriptan onset of action was 40 min and time to freedom from headache 70 min. An average of 1.2 frovatriptan tablets was required per attack, and mean additional analgesic use was 0.13. Recurrent headache occurred in 13.6%–15.5% of patients. Physicians as well as patients judged frovatriptan onset and duration of action as at least “good” in approximately 80% of attacks. A similar number judged the efficacy of frovatriptan against headache as “better” than previous treatment. The study drug was generally well tolerated. The frequency of adverse events was 0.6%.

Conclusion

Frovatriptan, with fast onset of action and low rate of headache recurrence, was efficacious and well accepted by migraineurs attending neurologists or pain therapists. Approximately 80% of patients wished to continue migraine treatment with frovatriptan.

Purpose of Review

In contrast to well-established relationships between headache and affective disorders, the role of alcohol use in primary headache disorders is less clear. This paper provides a narrative overview of research on alcohol use disorders (AUDs) in primary headache and presents a meta-analysis of the role of alcohol as a trigger (precipitant) of headache.

Recent Findings

The majority of studies on AUDs in headache have failed to find evidence that migraine or tension-type headache (TTH) is associated with increased risk for AUDs or problematic alcohol use. The meta-analysis indicated that 22% (95% CI: 17–29%) of individuals with primary headache endorsed alcohol as a trigger. No differences were found between individuals with migraine (with or without aura) or TTH. Odds of endorsing red wine as a trigger were over 3 times greater than odds of endorsing beer.

Summary

An absence of increased risk for AUDs among those with primary headache may be attributable to alcohol’s role in precipitating headache attacks for some susceptible individuals. Roughly one fifth of headache sufferers believe alcohol precipitates at least some of their attacks. Considerable study heterogeneity limits fine-grained comparisons across studies and suggests needs for more standardized methods for studying alcohol-headache relationships and rigorous experimental designs.

Background

Migraine is characterized by a series of phases (inter-ictal, pre-ictal, ictal, and post-ictal). It is of great interest whether resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) is differentiable between these phases.

Methods

We compared resting-state EEG energy intensity and effective connectivity in different migraine phases using EEG power and coherence analyses in patients with migraine without aura as compared with healthy controls (HCs). EEG power and isolated effective coherence of delta (1–3.5 Hz), theta (4–7.5 Hz), alpha (8–12.5 Hz), and beta (13–30 Hz) bands were calculated in the frontal, central, temporal, parietal, and occipital regions.

Results

Fifty patients with episodic migraine (1–5 headache days/month) and 20 HCs completed the study. Patients were classified into inter-ictal, pre-ictal, ictal, and post-ictal phases (n?=?22, 12, 8, 8, respectively), using 36-h criteria. Compared to HCs, inter-ictal and ictal patients, but not pre- or post-ictal patients, had lower EEG power and coherence, except for a higher effective connectivity in fronto-occipital network in inter-ictal patients (p?<?.05). Compared to data obtained from the inter-ictal group, EEG power and coherence were increased in the pre-ictal group, with the exception of a lower effective connectivity in fronto-occipital network (p?<?.05). Inter-ictal and ictal patients had decreased EEG power and coherence relative to HCs, which were “normalized” in the pre-ictal or post-ictal groups.

Conclusion

Resting-state EEG power density and effective connectivity differ between migraine phases and provide an insight into the complex neurophysiology of migraine.

Purpose of Review

The purpose of this review is to evaluate and describe recent and emerging treatment options for episodic migraine.

Recent Findings

Recent advances have been made in better understanding the pathophysiology of migraine, which has led to further investigation of potential new pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment options.

Summary

A number of new medications are emerging for the acute and preventive treatment of migraine, including CGRP monoclonal antibodies, CGRP receptor antagonists, serotonin 5-HT1F agonists, and PACAP receptor monoclonal antibodies. Additionally, newer studies on existing non-invasive neuromodulation devices including transcranial magnetic stimulation, supraorbital transcutaneous nerve stimulation, and transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation have recently received FDA approval for use in migraine. Neuromodulation devices including percutaneous mastoid electrical stimulation, non-painful remote electrical stimulation, and caloric vestibular stimulation are undergoing further investigation and have shown promising results thus far. These new developments are expected to contribute to better treatment and decreased disability in migraine.

Background

Every professional segment has its own typical forms of stress, which for members result in patterns of bodily conception and interpretation of pain. The way individuals cope with these typical forms of pain reflects their social identity, social status and group membership. In this study pain was investigated from a sociological perspective as a medium contributing to socialization processes in stress collectives.

Objectives

Cultural conceptions of headache and migraine were investigated in members of blue collar occupations, in service professions and patients in specialized medical pain care.

Materials and methods

In this study 49 qualitative biographical interviews were conducted with patients suffering from headache and migraine. The study population included persons from the general outpatient population and patients recruited from specialized inpatient pain clinics.

Results

Members of blue collar occupations with specific body-oriented, mechanical stress patterns and dominant masculine attitudes, perceived headache and migraine as atypical deviations, which are contextualized as body pain. Professionals in the service sector with specific communicative-emotional work patterns perceived headache and migraine as typical and accepted deviations. Both pain conceptions represent dominant body norms and social commitments in each group; however, in specialized pain care these everyday concepts are transformed by increasing expert knowledge resulting in medicalized life styles and in identity conceptions conforming to the medical imperative.

Conclusion

The success of specialized treatment of headache depends to a certain extent on the ability of patients to impose a medically regulated life style on their significant others; however, this can conflict with the demands of everyday life.
