Brain’s Lymphatic System Plays Role in Migraine Pain

Researchers discovered how the protein CGRP affects the brain's lymphatic system, contributing to migraine pain. Their study reveals that CGRP prevents cerebrospinal fluid from draining, influencing migraine attacks. This finding could lead to new therapeutic strategies for migraines. More research is needed to understand the sex differences in migraine prevalence.

Pathway for Migraine with Aura Discovered

Researchers have discovered why migraines are often one-sided, revealing that proteins released during aura are carried to pain-signaling nerves via cerebrospinal fluid. This study highlights a novel communication channel between the brain and peripheral sensory nervous system. The findings offer insights into migraine mechanisms and potential new treatments. This breakthrough may lead to better therapies for migraine sufferers.

Abortion Ban May Mean Denial of Effective Drugs for Women With MS, Migraine and Epilepsy

New abortion bans and restrictions could result in life-threatening consequences for women of childbearing age with epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and migraine due to restrictions placed on their ability to access life-saving medications. Patients in states with strict abortion restrictions are reporting they are unable to access teratogenic drugs to treat their conditions, including methotrexate, as the medications can induce abortion.

How Epilepsy and Migraine Drug Causes Birth Defects

Valproic acid (VPA), an anti-convulsant medication, can cause birth defects when taken during pregnancy. Researchers identified a molecule called p19Arf that appears to be responsible for VPA's induced senescence in neuroepithelial cells. When exposed to VPA, mice lacking p19Arf did not experience gene expression alterations associated with ASD.
