Clinical and experimental data suggest that ergotamine compounds and triptans may contribute to vascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. The role of blood cell aggregation in this context is, however, not clarified. We aimed to evaluate the impact of different acute antimigraine

Currently available drugs for the acute treatment of migraine, i.e. ergot alkaloids and triptans, are cranial vasoconstrictors. Although cranial vasoconstriction is likely to mediate-at least a part of-their therapeutic effects, this property also causes vascular side-effects. Indeed, the ergot

Migraine and stroke are common, disabling neurological conditions with several theories being proposed to explain this bidirectional relationship. Migraine is considered as a benign neurological disorder, but researchers revealed a connection among migraine and stroke, predominantly those having

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is caused by mutations in the Notch3 gene on chromosome 19. The condition manifests itself clinically typically in the third to fifth decade with migraine and recurrent episodes of stroke or

Three children with pronounced livedo reticularis present since birth (cutis marmorata-telangiectasia congenita) have been followed to the ages of eight, 17 and 21 years. During childhood they developed frequent recurrent transient stroke-like hemipareses, affecting either side of the body,

OBJECTIVE Whether migraine modifies after spontaneous cervical artery dissection (sCeAD) more than after other stroke etiologic subtypes has never been adequately investigated. METHODS In the setting of the Italian Project on Stroke in Young Adults (IPSYS), we compared the course of migraine before

Background: Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an orphan disease clinically characterized by migraine, recurrent strokes, and dementia. Currently, there are no

BTS 72664, (R)-7-[1-(4-chlorophenoxy)]ethyl]-1,2,4-triazolo(1,5-alpha)pyrimidine, was identified as a drug development candidate from a research program designed to discover novel, broad-spectrum, non-sedative anticonvulsant drugs. BTS 72664 antagonized bicuculline (BIC)- and maximal electroshock

Members of the new class of antimigraine compounds, 5HT1B/1D agonists, as well as ergotamine, may cause vasoconstriction through stimulation of 5HT receptors on peripheral vessels. The cardiovascular effects of 20 mg oral zolmitriptan (Zomig, formerly 311C90), 2 mg oral ergotamine and the

Pharmacological data suggest that the actions of antimigraine drugs such as sumatriptan may be mediated by 5-HT1D-like serotonin receptors on trigeminovascular nerve endings. We sought molecular evidence for the expression of an mRNA species encoding the 5-HT1D receptor subtype in guinea pig and

Profound nitric oxide release associated with cortical spreading depression (SD), has been implicated in stroke, traumatic brain injury and migraine pathophysiology. SB-220453 represents a mechanistically novel, well-tolerated class of compounds which may have therapeutic potential in the treatment

Topiramate (TPM) is a widely used antiepileptic and antimigraine agent which has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in various experimental traumatic brain injury and stroke models. However, its utility in spinal cord injury has not been studied extensively. Thus, we evaluated effects of

OBJECTIVE Spreading depression (SD) is a local, temporary disruption of cellular ionic homeostasis that propagates slowly across the cerebral cortex and other neural tissues such as the retina. Spreading depolarization associated with SD occurs in different types of stroke, and this phenomenon

Epilepsy and migraine are episodic neurological disorders with marked co-morbidity, making migraine common among epileptic patients. Conversely, several antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are used as migraine-preventive medication. Cortical spreading depression (CSD) represents a transient suppression of
