Newest firstMigraine is a common and complex neurological disorder that has a high impact on quality of life. Recent advances with drugs that target the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) have helped, but treatment options remain insufficient. CGRP is released from trigeminal sensory fibers and contributes to peripheral sensitization, perhaps in part due to actions on immune cells in the trigeminovascular sys…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Engaging the endocannabinoid system through inhibition of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), degrading endocannabinoids (endoCBs) 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide (AEA), was proposed as a promising approach to ameliorate migraine pain. However, the activity of MAGL and FAAH and action of endoCB on spiking activity of meningeal afferents, from which migraine…
In migraine pain, cannabis has a promising analgesic action, which, however, is associated with side psychotropic effects. To overcome these adverse effects of exogenous cannabinoids, we propose migraine pain relief via activation of the endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS) by inhibiting enzymes degrading endocannabinoids. To provide a functional platform for such purpose in the peripheral and central parts of the…
