Summary
New therapeutic targets offer advanced options for preventing and aborting migraine episodes. These emerging treatments expand the available strategies for effective migraine management.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Pharmacology
Background:
- Migraine is a common neurological disorder with significant impact on quality of life.
- Current treatments for migraine include acute and preventive therapies, but many patients experience inadequate relief.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review emerging therapeutic targets for migraine.
- To discuss novel strategies for aborting and preventing migraine episodes.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of recent research and clinical trials.
- Analysis of preclinical and clinical data on new migraine therapies.
Main Results:
- Several novel targets are being investigated, including CGRP antagonists and other pathways.
- These new targets show promise in both acute and preventive treatment of migraines.
Conclusions:
- Emerging therapeutic targets represent a significant advancement in migraine treatment.
- These novel approaches offer the potential for improved efficacy and broader patient benefit in managing migraine episodes.

24.4K
As a system undergoes a change, its internal energy can change, and energy can be transferred from the system to the surroundings, or from the surroundings to the system.

02:33Seed Structure and Early Development of the Sporophyte
31.1K
Seed structures are composed of a protective seed coat surrounding a plant embryo, and a food store for the developing embryo. The embryo contains the precursor tissues for leaves, stem, and roots. The endosperm and cotyledons—seed leaves—act as the food reserves for the growing embryo.

02:05Calculating Equilibrium Concentrations
53.2K
Being able to calculate equilibrium concentrations is essential to many areas of science and technology—for example, in the formulation and dosing of pharmaceutical products. After a drug is ingested or injected, it is typically involved in several chemical equilibria that affect its ultimate concentration in the body system of interest. Knowledge of the quantitative aspects of these equilibria is required to compute a dosage amount that will solicit the desired therapeutic effect.

54.8K
Particles in a solid are tightly packed together (fixed shape) and often arranged in a regular pattern; in a liquid, they are close together with no regular arrangement (no fixed shape); in a gas, they are far apart with no regular arrangement (no fixed shape). Particles in a solid vibrate about fixed positions (cannot flow) and do not generally move in relation to one another; in a liquid, they move past each other (can flow) but remain in essentially constant contact; in a gas, they move...
