Biochemical Profiling of Migraine Patients
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Migraine Disorders, Chronic Migraine, Episodic Migraine
In brief
Aim of the study was to assess a potential dysfunction of the endocannabidiome system (eCBome) in migraine patients. Migraine patients who will undergo preventive therapy with monoclonal antibodies directed against the calcitonin gene related peptide (mAbs) will be evaluated through a deep phenotyping of peripheral neurochemical biomarkers (eCBome, neuropeptides, cytokines and kynurenine levels, and microRNAs expression). Primary aim is to assess baseline differences among those patients who achieved a reduction of monthly migraine days \>/= 50% after three months of tretament (namely Responders) and those who did not (namely Non-responders).
