The Evolution of Medication Overuse Headache: History, Pathophysiology and Clinical Update
Medication overuse headache (MOH), the development or worsening of chronic headache resulting from frequent and excessive intake of medications used for acute treatment of headache, is a common secondary heada...

Alterations in Synaptic Plasticity and Oxidative Stress Following Long-Term Paracetamol Treatment in Rat Brain
Several studies have recently revealed that cognitive function can be affected by paracetamol (APAP) treatment. However, the exact impact of this drug treatment on learning and memory has not been clarified. T...

Open AccessAltered activity in the nucleus raphe magnus underlies cortical hyperexcitability and facilitates trigeminal nociception in a rat model of medication overuse headache
The pathogenesis of medication overuse headache (MOH) involves hyperexcitability of cortical and trigeminal neurons. Derangement of the brainstem modulating system, especially raphe nuclei may contribute to th...

The potentiating effect of calcitonin gene-related peptide on transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 activity and the electrophysiological responses of rat trigeminal neurons to nociceptive stimuli
Growing evidence suggests that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) participates in trigeminal nociceptive responses. However, the role of CGRP in sensitization or desensitization of nociceptive transduction...

Open AccessTargeted Orexin and Hypothalamic Neuropeptides for Migraine
The hypothalamus is involved in the regulation of homeostatic mechanisms and migraine-related trigeminal nociception and as such has been hypothesized to play a central role in the migraine syndrome from the e...

Open AccessNeural hyperactivity in the amygdala induced by chronic treatment of rats with analgesics may elucidate the mechanisms underlying psychiatric comorbidities associated with medication-overuse headache
Patients with medication-overuse headache suffer not only from chronic headache, but often from psychiatric comorbidities, such as anxiety and depression. The mechanisms underlying these comorbidities are uncl...

The estrous cycle modulates voltage-gated ion channels in trigeminal ganglion neurons
Migraines typically occur more frequently in women than men because of the effects of estrogen on both the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. Many women suffer from migraine attacks during menstruatio...

GluN2A/B ratio elevation induced by cortical spreading depression: electrophysiological and quantitative studies of the hippocampus
Cortical spreading depression (CSD), an underlying mechanism of migraine aura, propagates to the hippocampus, and might explain hippocampusassociated symptoms during migraine attack. We hypothesised that this ...

Animal Models of Chronic Migraine
Many animal models of migraine have been described. Some of them have been useful in the development of new therapies. All of them have their shortcomings. Animal models of chronic migraine have been relativel...

Pathophysiology of Medication-overuse Headache: Implications from Animal Studies
Recent animal experiments have shown that chronic medication exposure profoundly affects the function of several areas in the nervous system related to headache pathogenesis. These changes include upregulation...
