- Abstract
Background: Cluster headache (CH) is one of the most disabling primary headaches. Nowadays, it is unknown if it has an impact on reducing life expectancy. Methods: We calculated years of potential life lost (YPLL) in deceased individuals from a CH registry of a third‐level hospital, using as cutoff the estimated life expectancy for our general population according to their sex and year of death. Furthermore, a descriptive and comparative analysis of the main causes of death, risk factors, and toxic habits was carried out. Results: There were 25 deaths among the 152 individuals included. Twenty‐one (84%) died earlier than expected with a mean of 9.14 YPLL (p = 0.001). Cancer was the most common cause of death in CH patients (64% of deaths vs. 28.5% expected in general population, p ≤ 0.001). Eighty percent and 45% of our deceased patients were smokers and 60% and 45% regular alcohol consumers at the diagnosis of CH and at death, respectively. The percentage of smokers at diagnosis was significantly higher than that in the reference population (80% vs. 33.2%, p < 0.001). There was a significantly higher frequency of arterial hypertension (76% vs. 19.82%, p < 0.001) and diabetes mellitus (40% vs. 7.8%, p < 0.001) at death in CH individuals compared to general population. Conclusions: CH implies a loss of almost one decade of life expectancy by an increase in cancer deaths. Tobacco and alcohol consumption seem to be the main underlying causes. These results call for an action plan for a better management of CH patients since their diagnosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MIGRAINE ,BOTULINUM A toxins ,TERMINATION of treatment ,TRAPEZIUS muscle ,MUSCULAR atrophy - Abstract
Background: Real-world studies have shown the sustained therapeutic effect and favourable safety profile of OnabotulinumtoxinA (BoNTA) in the long term and up to 4 years of treatment in chronic migraine (CM). This study aims to assess the safety profile and efficacy of BoNTA in CM after 5 years of treatment in a real-life setting. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients with CM in relation to BoNTA treatment for more than 5 years in 19 Spanish headache clinics. We excluded patients who discontinued treatment due to lack of efficacy or poor tolerability. Results: 489 patients were included [mean age 49, 82.8% women]. The mean age of onset of migraine was 21.8 years; patients had CM with a mean of 6.4 years (20.8% fulfilled the aura criteria). At baseline, patients reported a mean of 24.7 monthly headache days (MHDs) and 15.7 monthly migraine days (MMDs). In relation to effectiveness, the responder rate was 59.1% and the mean reduction in MMDs was 9.4 days (15.7 to 6.3 days; p < 0.001). The MHDs were also reduced by 14.9 days (24.7 to 9.8 days; p < 0.001). Regarding the side effects 17.5% experienced neck pain, 17.3% headache, 8.5% eyelid ptosis, 7.5% temporal muscle atrophy and 3.2% trapezius muscle atrophy. Furthermore, after longerterm exposure exceeding 5 years, there were no serious adverse events (AE) or treatment discontinuation because of safety or tolerability issues. Conclusion: Treatment with BoNTA led to sustained reductions in migraine frequency, even after long-term exposure exceeding 5 years, with no evidence of new safety concerns. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La disfunción endotelial es el primer paso en el desarrollo de la ateroesclerosis. Enfermedades autoinmunes, como la artritis reumatoide (AR), presentan un incremento del riesgo de enfermedad cardiovascular. Varios estudios han demostrado un incremento en la prevalencia de eventos vasculares en pacientes con Esclerosis Múltiple (EM), y en otras patologías como la migraña. Nuestro objetivo es evaluar la presencia de marcadores subclínicos de disfunción en pacientes con EM y migraña sin factores de riesgo en comparación con controles. Un grupo de AR se incluyó como comparador activo. Se realizó análisis bioquímico y ultrasonográfico midiendo el grosor íntima media (GIM), vasodilatación dependiente de endotelio (VDE), vasorreactividad cerebral (VRC) y otras. Los pacientes con EM tenían mayor GIM, menor VDE y VRC que los controles. Los valores ecográficos se correlacionaron con marcadores de inflamación. En migrañosos, las mayores diferencias se observaron en migraña crónica. En conclusión, hemos encontrado una disfunción endotelial en pacientes con EM y en pacientes con migraña, especialmente en la migraña crónica., Endothelial dysfunction is an early step in the development of atherosclerosis. Autoimmune diseases, as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), have an increase in the incidence of cardiovascular disease. Several studies showed an increase prevalence of cardiovascular events in Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, and other disorders as migraine. Our aim is to evaluate the presence of subclinical markers of endothelial dysfunction in MS and migraine patients without cardiovascular risk factors compared with healthy controls. A group of patients with RA followed at our hospital was also enrolled, as an active comparator. Biochemical and ultrasounds examinations were performed measuring the intima media thickness (IMT), flow mediated vasodilation (FMD), cerebral vasorreactivity (CVR) and others. MS patients had a significant higher IMT and lower FMD and VRC than in control group. Ultrasounds values had a highly significant correlation with inflammation biomarkers. Between migraneurs, chronic migraine patients showed higher difference. In summary we found an alteration in the endothelial function in patients with MS, and migraine, especially in chronic migraine.

Pseudotumoral lesions are considered an atypical manifestation of demyelination of the central nervous system. Due to their scarce frequency in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), they usually constitute a diagnostic challenge. Our aim wasto study the characteristics of patients with pseudotumoral lesions in a first clinical episode, contributing to the description of this form of MS and its prognostic implication. Patients with pseudotumoral forms of MS were identified in the database of the monographic outpatient clinic of the Marqués de Valdecilla University Hospital; and demographic, clinical, analytical and radiological (MRI) variables were analysed retrospectively in patients with these lesions. Of the 450 patients included in the database, 14 (57% male) with a mean age of 33.64 years, presented with pseudotumoral lesions. The most frequent form of presentation was motor (71%) or sensory (71%) deficits, followed by cerebellar or brainstem symptoms. The majority (85%) required hospitalization, although only 3 cases required diagnostic biopsy. The most frequent location for lesions was periventricular. At follow up, 11 patients (78%) met RRMS criteria and 3 met CIS criteria (21%). In addition, 10 patients started disease-modifying treatment. Our results are in line with previous studies, providing further information on the particularities of these lesions, both clinically and radiologically. Future research is needed to better understand both this form of MS and its prognostic significance. RESUMEN : Las lesiones pseudotumorales se consideran una manifestación atípica de la desmielinización del sistema nervioso central. Su escasa frecuencia en pacientes con esclerosis múltiple (EM) constituye habitualmente un reto diagnóstico. Nuestro objetivo es estudiar las características de los pacientes con dichas lesiones en un primer episodio clínico, contribuyendo a la descripción de esta forma de EM y su implicación pronóstica. Se identificaron pacientes con formas pseudotumorales de EM en la base de datos de la consulta monográfica del Hospital Universitario Marqués de Valdecilla, y se analizaron variables demográficas, clínicas, analíticas y radiológicas (RMN) retrospectivamente en los pacientes con estas lesiones. De los 450 pacientes incluidos en la base de datos, 14 pacientes (57% varones) con una media de edad de 33.64 años debutaron con lesiones pseudotumorales. La forma de presentación más frecuente fue déficit motor (71%) o sensitivo (71%), seguido de clínica cerebelosa o del tronco del encéfalo. La mayoría (85%) requirió hospitalización, aunque sólo en 3 casos biopsia diagnóstica. La localización más frecuente de las lesiones fue periventricular. En el seguimiento 11 pacientes (78%) cumplieron criterios de EMRR y 3 de CIS (21%). Además, 10 pacientes iniciaron tratamiento modificador de la enfermedad. Nuestros resultados se sitúan en línea con estudios previos, aportando mayor información sobre las particularidades de dichas lesiones, clínica y radiológicamente. Se precisan futuras investigaciones para comprender mejor tanto esta forma de EM como su significado pronóstico. Grado en Medicina

RESUMEN : Introducción: Las cefaleas son el motivo de consulta más habitual en neurología, y, concretamente, la migraña es la entidad más relevante en frecuencia y discapacidad. La prevalencia y el impacto en la calidad de vida de los pacientes, junto con el conocimiento de la fisiopatología de esta enfermedad, han favorecido el desarrollo de nuevas líneas terapéuticas específicas como los anticuerpos antiCGRP, indicados solo en pacientes con migraña crónica refractaria. Actualmente se recomienda la retirada del tratamiento a los 12 meses, sin embargo, se desconoce qué ocurre tras su suspensión. Por lo tanto, son necesarios nuevos estudios en vida real que analicen en la práctica clínica real la experiencia tras un año de tratamiento. Objetivos: Analizar la experiencia en la práctica clínica real en pacientes con migraña crónica (MC) tratados con anticuerpos antiCGRP durante un año y tras su retirada. Metodología: Recogida prospectiva de parámetros demográficos y de eficacia de los pacientes de la Unidad de Cefaleas del Servicio de Neurología del Hospital Universitario Marqués de Valdecilla (HUMV) con MC que habían iniciado tratamiento con los nuevos anticuerpos anti-CGRP. Se recogieron los datos al inicio, y trimestralmente, si bien aquí nos centraremos en la experiencia al año de tratamiento. Se administraron dos fármacos: erenumab (en dosis de 70 y 140 mg) y galcanezumab (240 mg subcutáneas en primer mes y posteriormente 120 mg al mes), según su ficha técnica. Resultados: De los 61 pacientes que completaron el tratamiento anual, todos cumplían criterios de MC de larga evolución (9,5 años de media). La media de edad fue de 48,4 años (18-66 años) y la mayoría eran mujeres (57; 90,5 %). Tras 12 meses con los anticuerpos, los días de dolor al mes disminuyeron un 69,6 % y, de los 60 pacientes que cumplían criterios de abuso de medicación inicialmente, solo 17 lo hacían al final del estudio. Se retiraron los anticuerpos a 34 pacientes y, de estos, 3 de cada 4 vieron empeoradas sus cefaleas, la mayoría dentro de los dos primeros meses. Conclusiones: En este trabajo confirmamos la eficacia de los anticuerpos antiCGRP en vida real tras un año de tratamiento en pacientes con migraña crónica refractaria. Más de la mitad de los pacientes a los que retiramos el fármaco tras 12 meses de tratamiento recurren antes de los 3 primeros meses. Esto significa que hay que tener en cuenta la recaída tras la supresión de los antiCGRP, sin implicar obligatoriamente que estos fármacos deban mantenerse al año. ABSTRACT : Introduction: Headaches are the main cause to seek neurological attention, and specifically, migraine is the most relevant entity in frequency and disability. The prevalence and impact on the quality of life of patients, along with the knowledge of the physiopathology of this disease, have favored the development of new and more specific therapeutic lines such as the monoclonal antibodies anti CGRP (MAB). Nowadays the cease of the treatment is currently recommended after 12 months, however, the afterward effects are still unknown. Therefore, new controlled studies and clinical experience in real life are needed to asses the efficiency of this drugs on the long run. Objectives: To analize the current experience in clinical practice in patients with chronic migraine treated with antiCGRP antibodies for one year and after their withdrawal. Methods: Prospective recollection of demographic and efficiency parameters of the patients of the Headache Unit of the Neurology Service of HUMV with chronic migraine who had started treatment with the new MABs. The data were collected at the beginning, and quarterly, although we will focus on the experience of the year of treatment and at 12 moths from the start of the treatment. Two drugs were administrated: erunumab (70 or 140 mg) and galcanezumab (240mg subcutaneous on the first month and 120mg the following months), according to their techincal sheet. Results: Of the 61 patients that finalized the yearly treatment, all of them met long term chronic migraine criteria (9.5 years on average). The mean age was 48,4 years (18-66 years) and the majority where women (57; 90,5%). After 12 months in treatment with MABs, pain days per month decreased by 69.9% and, of the 60 patients who initially met criteria for drug overuse, only 17 did so at the end of the study. Half of the 34 patients which treatment was withdrawn recurred, most of them in the first two months. Conclusions: In this study we confirmed the effectiveness of antiCGRP antibodies in real life after one year of treatment in patients with chronic refractory migraine. More than half of the patients we remove the drug after 12 months of treatment recur before the first 3 months. This means that relapse after suppression of antiCGRP must be taken into account, without necessarily implying that these drugs must be maintained at one year. Grado en Medicina

RESUMEN : Introducción: Dentro de las cefaleas, la migraña es el motivo de consulta más frecuente. Esto, junto al importante impacto en la calidad de vida de los pacientes que la sufren, favorece la búsqueda de nuevas líneas de tratamiento. El papel del CGRP en la fisiopatología de la migraña ha abierto una línea de investigación en tratamientos consistentes en el bloqueo de la acción de este péptido: los anticuerpos antiCGRP. Al tratarse de un tema de actualidad y con poca experiencia en la práctica clínica real, son necesarios además de los ensayos clínicos controlados, experiencias en vida real que valoren la eficacia y tolerabilidad de estos fármacos. Objetivos: Analizar la experiencia en la práctica clínica real con anticuerpos antiCGRP en pacientes con migraña de alta frecuencia o migraña crónica (MC). Metodología: Recogida prospectiva de parámetros de eficacia y seguridad/tolerabilidad a corto plazo (3 meses) de los pacientes de la Unidad de Cefaleas del Servicio de Neurología del Hospital Universitario Marqués de Valdecilla (HUMV) con migraña de alta frecuencia o MC que habían iniciado tratamiento con los nuevos anticuerpos anti-CGRP en el último año. Se administraron dos fármacos: erenumab (en dosis de 70 y 140 mg) y galcanezumab, según ficha técnica (240 mg subcutáneas en primer mes y posteriormente 120 mg al mes). Resultados: Un total de 70 pacientes iniciaron tratamiento con antiCGRPs el último año: 40 con erenumab (14 de ellos con la dosis de 140 mg) y 30 con galcanezumab. De ellos, 66 cumplían criterios de MC (64). La edad media fue de 51 años (18-77 años); la mayoría eran mujeres (64) y cumplían criterios de MC refractaria (fracaso de una media de 9 tratamientos preventivos previos) de larga evolución (13 años de media). A los 3 meses, los días de dolor al mes se redujeron un 55,4% y el 52,5% de los pacientes tuvieron tasas de respuesta superior al 50%. Los pacientes que cumplían criterios de abuso a analgésicos pasaron del 94% al inicio a 35% tras los tres meses de tratamiento. El 73% de los pacientes obtuvieron una puntuación positiva (superior a 4 puntos) en la clasificación PGIC. El 36,5% refirieron uno o más efectos adversos, no siendo ninguno de ellos un motivo de abandono de tratamiento ni una condición de ingreso hospitalario. No observamos diferencias significativas en el perfil de eficacia o efectos adversos entre los dos anticuerpos disponibles en nuestro centro. Conclusiones: A pesar de que los pacientes tratados con estos fármacos cumplían mayoritariamente criterios de MC refractaria de larga evolución y abuso de analgésicos, nuestros datos de práctica real confirman que, al menos a corto plazo, ambos anticuerpos antiCGRP son bien tolerados y eficaces en aproximadamente la mitad de estos pacientes. ABSTRACT : Introduction: migraine is the second most prevalent neurologic disorder (after tension type headache) and the main cause of cephalalgia for which patients seek for medical advice. Furthermore, migraine is one of the most disabling diseases worldwide. Those reasons enhance the research of new lines of treatment. The role of CGRP in the pathophysiology of migraine has opened a line of research in treatments consisting of blocking the action of this peptide: MABs targeting CGRP or its receptor. Because of this being a current issue with little real-life experience, real-life experiences are necessary to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of these drugs, besides the controlled clinical trials. Purpose: to analyse the experience in real clinical practice with antiCGRP antibodies in patients with high frequency migraine or chronic migraine (CM). Methods: prospective collection of efficacy and safety/tolerability parameters in the short term (3 months) of patients in the Headache Unit of the Neurology Service of the Hospital Universitario Marqués de Valdecilla (HUMV) with high frequency migraine or CM who had started a treatment with the new anti-CGRP antibodies last year. Two drugs were administered: erenumab (in doses of 70 and 140 mg) and galcanezumab, according to protocol (240 mg subcutaneous in the first month and then 120 mg per month). Results: a total of 70 patients started treatment with antiCGRPs in the last year: 40 with erenumab (14 of them with the 140 mg dose) and 30 with galcanezumab. Of these patients, 66 met CM criteria (64) or 2 for high-frequency migraine. The mean age was 51 years (18-77 years). Most of them were women (64) and met criteria for refractory CM (failure of an average of 9 previous preventive treatments) of long evolution (13 years on average). At 3 months, the days of pain per month were reduced by 55.4%, and 52.5% of the patients had response rates greater than 50%. Patients meeting criteria for analgesic abuse went from 94% at baseline to 35% after three months of treatment. 73% of the patients obtained a positive score (greater than 4 points) in the PGIC classification. 36.5% reported one or more adverse effects, none of them being a reason for abandoning treatment or a hospital admission condition. We did not observe significant differences in the efficacy profile or adverse effects between the two antibodies available in our center. Conclusions: even though patients treated with these drugs mostly met criteria for long term refractory CM and analgesic abuse, our data from real-life experience confirms that, at least in the short term, both anti-CGRP antibodies are well tolerated and effective in about half of these patients.
