antimigraine/nausea

<P>Background and Objective: Migraine is a neurovascular syndrome associated with unilateral, throbbing headache accompanied with nausea, vomiting and photo/phonophobia. Several proteins are involved in the etiopathogenesis of migraine headache. The aim of the present review is to give an

Migraine is a recurrent incapacitating neurovascular disorder characterized by unilateral and throbbing headaches associated with photophobia, phonophobia, nausea, and vomiting. Current specific drugs used in the acute treatment of migraine interact with vascular receptors, a fact that has raised

Activation of vanilloid receptors has commonly been used to facilitate neurogenic inflammation and plasma exudation to model components of the pathogenesis of migraine; however, these studies have been performed mainly in species lacking the emetic reflex. In the present studies, therefore, we used

Nausea and vomiting are debilitating symptoms complicating many clinical conditions. Conventional antiemetic agents act as muscarinic, histamine, and dopamine receptor antagonists in the central nervous system. In a retrospective analysis, tricyclic antidepressant drugs demonstrated efficacy in

BACKGROUND There is a group of patients who have unexplained chronic nausea and/or vomiting. In the past these patients were labelled as having psychogenic vomiting. However, there is little evidence that such a condition exists. Rather, these patients usually have a functional gastrointestinal

The intranasal route of administration for antimigraine drugs offers many theoretical and practical advantages. A drug that is administered intranasally is absorbed by the highly vascular mucous membranes of the nose, which allows for rapid delivery of un-metabolized drug to the central nervous

Migraine is common, underdiagnosed, and frequently inadequately treated in the general population. Nausea and vomiting are common reasons for patients to be referred for symptom control. Nausea can be the most prominent feature of migraine; the International Classification of Headache Disorders

BACKGROUND Migraine is a neurovascular disorder. Current acute specific antimigraine pharmacotherapies target trigeminovascular 5-HT1B/1D, 5-HT1F and CGRP receptors but, unfortunately, they induce some cardiovascular and central side effects that lead to poor treatment adherence/compliance.

Migraine is a paroxysmal disorder characterized by attacks of headache, nausea, vomiting, photophobia, phonophobia, and malaise. This review summarizes new treatment options for therapy of the acute attack. Mild or moderate migraine attacks are treated with antiemetics followed by analgesics such as

In order to investigate headache related to intravenous immunoglobulin, we studied a 36-year-old woman with a history of migraine receiving weekly intravenous immunoglobulin for refractory myasthenia gravis who experienced severe headaches with each treatment. Neurological examination, CT scan of

Migraine is a common and highly disabling headache disorder associated with a substantial socioeconomic burden. Migraine treatments can be categorized as preventive treatment, aimed at reducing the frequency and severity of migraine attacks, and acute therapy, intended to abort attacks.

Migraine is the primary headache disorder affecting a significant population worldwide. Ubrogepant is an orally bioavailable calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist (gepant) approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the acute treatment of migraine headaches with

BACKGROUND Migraine has been recognized as one of the leading causes of disability in the 2013 Global Burden of Disease Study and seriously affects the quality of patients' life, current treatment options are not ideal. Monoclonal antibodies to calcitonin gene-related peptide and its receptor

Ergotamine is a well known pharmacological remedy applied in neurology (treatment of vascular headache) and in obstetrics (abortive remedy, uterus atony). But today it is rarely used, because of new safer anti-migraine medicine (triptanes) which cause fewer side effects. According to obstetrical

Good management of migraine requires that the patient participate actively in decisions regarding therapeutic intervention. Most patients, when carefully informed, will engage in a wellness program that includes regular exercise and rest, good nutrition, and avoidance of headache triggers. Acute
