Objective We aimed to evaluate associations of human leukocyte antigen variants with migraine or headache in hospital and population-based settings. Methods The case-control study population, aged 30–70, included 605 clinic-based migraine patients in a medical center and 8449 population-based participants in Taiwan Biobank (TWB). Clinic-based cases were ascertained by neurologists. Participants in Taiwan Biobank were interviewed by a structured questionnaire including headache and migraine history; among them, 2394 had headache or migraine history while 6055 were free of headache and served as controls. All subjects were genotyped by Axiom Genome-Wide Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Arrays and imputed for eight classical human leukocyte antigen genes. Human leukocyte antigen frequencies were compared between clinic-based and self-reported patients and controls. We utilized likelihood ratio tests to examine human leukocyte antigen-disease associations and logistic regressions to estimate the effect of human leukocyte antigen alleles on migraine. Results Human leukocyte antigen -B and C showed significant associations with clinic-based migraine ( q-value < 0.05). Human leukocyte antigen -B*39:01, human leukocyte antigen -B*51:01, human leukocyte antigen -B*58:01 and human leukocyte antigen -C*03:02 were significantly associated with migraine, with age and sex-adjusted odds ratios (95% CIs) of 1.80 (1.28–2.53), 1.50 (1.15–1.97), 1.36 (1.14–1.62) and 1.36 (1.14–1.62), correspondingly. Clinic-based migraineurs carrying human leukocyte antigen -B*58:01 or human leukocyte antigen -C*03:02 had 1.63 (1.11–2.39) -fold likelihood to have chronic migraine with medication-overuse headache compared to episodic migraine. However, no human leukocyte antigen genes were associated with self-reported headache or migraine in the community. Conclusions Human leukocyte antigen class I genetic variants are positively associated with risk of clinic-based migraine but not self-reported migraine or headache and may contribute to migraine chronification and medication overuse.

Introduction In a previous study exploring central pain modulation with heterotopic stimuli in healthy volunteers, we found that transitions between sustained noxious and innocuous thermal stimulations on the foot activated the “salience matrix”. Knowing that central sensory processing is abnormal in migraine, we searched in the present study for possible abnormalities of these salient transitional responses in different forms of migraine and at different time points of the migraine cycle. Methods Participants of both sexes, mostly females, took part in a conditioned pain modulation experiment: Migraineurs between (n = 14) and during attacks (n = 5), chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache (n = 7) and healthy volunteers (n = 24). To evoke the salience response, continuous noxious cold or innocuous warm stimulations were alternatively applied on the right foot. Cerebral blood oxygenation level dependent responses were recorded with fMRI. Results Switching between the two stimulations caused a significant transition response in the “salience matrix” in all subject groups (effect of the condition). Moreover, some group effects appeared on subsequent post-hoc analyses. Augmented transitional blood oxygenation level dependent responses in the motor cortex and superior temporal sulcus were found in two patient groups compared to healthy controls: chronic migraine with medication overuse headache patients and migraineurs recorded during an attack. In chronic migraine with medication overuse headache patients, salience-related responses were moreover greater in the premotor cortex, supplementary motor area, lingual gyrus and dorso-medial prefrontal cortex and other “salience matrix” areas, such as the anterior cingulate and primary somatosensory cortices. Conclusion This study shows salience-related hyperactivation of affective and motor control areas in chronic migraine with medication overuse headache patients and, to a lesser extent, in episodic migraine patients during an attack. The greater extension of exaggerated blood oxygenation level dependent responses to unspecific salient stimuli in chronic migraine with medication overuse headache than during a migraine attack could be relevant for headache chronification.

The Brain

The study set out to investigate the role of corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) and orexin-A in chronic migraine (CM) and medication-overuse headache (MOH). Twenty-seven patients affected by CM and 30 with MOH were enrolled. Control CSF specimens were obtained from 20 age-matched subjects who underwent lumbar puncture for diagnostic purposes, and in all of them CSF and blood tests excluded central nervous system or systemic diseases. Orexin-A and CRF were determined by radioimmunoassay methods. Significantly higher levels of orexin-A and CRF were found in the CSF of MOH and to a lesser extent in patients with CM compared with control subjects (orexin-A: P < 0.001 and P < 0.02; CRF: P < 0.002 and P < 0.0003). A significant positive correlation was also found between CSF orexin-A values and those of CRF ( R = 0.71; P < 0.0008), monthly drug intake group ( R = 0.39; P < 0.03) and scores of a self-completion 10-item instrument to measure dependence upon a variety of substances, the Leeds Dependence Questionnaire (LDQ) in the MOH group ( R = 0.68; P < 0.0003). The significantly higher orexin-A levels found in CM and MOH can be interpreted as a compensatory response to chronic head pain or, alternatively, as an expression of hypothalamic response to stress due to chronic pain. A potential role for orexin-A in driving drug seeking in MOH patients through activation of stress pathways in the brain can also be hypothesized.

The Impact

Background: Eptinezumab is a preventive migraine treatment approved in the US. We evaluated the impact of eptinezumab on acute headache medication (AHM) use in patients diagnosed with chronic migraine (CM) and medication-overuse headache (MOH) in PROMISE-2. Methods: PROMISE-2 randomized patients with CM to eptinezumab 100mg, 300mg, or placebo for 2 intravenous doses administered every 12 weeks. Trained investigators diagnosed MOH at screening using 3-month medication history and ICHD-3b criteria. Endpoints included days/month of any AHM use (days of ≥1 medication class), total AHM use (summed days for each medication class), and triptan use over Weeks 1-12 and 13-24. AHM classes included triptan, ergot, opioid, simple analgesic, and combination analgesic. Results: Of 1072 PROMISE-2 patients, 431 (40.2%) were diagnosed with MOH (100mg, n=139; 300mg, n=147; placebo, n=145). During the 28-day baseline period, mean days of any AHM was ~16.4, total AHM was ~20.4, and triptan was ~8.9 across treatment arms. Over Weeks 1-12, mean days/month of any AHM was 8.8 (100mg), 9.9 (300mg), and 11.8 (placebo); total AHM was 10.8, 12.2, and 14.8; triptan was 4.3, 4.4, and 6.4. Similar or lower rates were observed over Weeks 13-24. Conclusions: In patients diagnosed with both CM and MOH, eptinezumab treatment reduced AHM use.

AbstractObjective:To estimate the relative frequency of acute medication overuse (AMO) among people with episodic migraine (EM) and chronic migraine (CM), to characterize the types of acute medications overused for migraine, and to identify factors associated with AMO.Methods:We analyzed data from the Chronic Migraine Epidemiology and Outcomes (CaMEO) Study (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01648530), a cross-sectional and longitudinal Internet study that included a systematic sampling of the US population. From September 2012 to November 2013, the CaMEO Study respondents participated in different modules to collect data on the clinical course of migraine, family burden, barriers to care, endophenotypes, and comorbidities. Among people who met criteria for migraine consistent with the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (ICHD-3), we evaluated types and frequency of medications used for headache/migraine, selected comorbidities, and emergency department (ED) and urgent care (UC) use. AMO was defined by days/month of medication use as specified by ICHD-3 criteria for medication overuse headache (MOH) without the requirement for ≥15 monthly headache days (MHDs). Nested, multivariable binary logistic regression modeling was used to identify factors associated with increased risk of AMO.Results:Of 16,789 CaMEO respondents with migraine, 2,975 (17.7%) met AMO criteria. Approximately 67.9% (2,021/2,975) of AMO respondents reported <15 MHDs. Simple analgesics, combination analgesics, and opioids were the medication classes most commonly overused. Factors associated with AMO in the final multivariable logistic regression model included ≥15 MHDs, moderate to severe disability, severe migraine interictal burden, use of preventive medication, and an ED/UC visit for headache within 6 months.Conclusions:Approximately two-thirds of respondents with AMO reported <15 MHDs and therefore did not meet criteria for MOH. Those with AMO had greater disease burden and increased ED/UC utilization relative to people with migraine but not AMO.
