Abstract
Description
Use of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of migraine TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to the use of a composition for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of migraine in a patient. BACKGROUND
[0002] Migraine is a common, recurrent headache disorder characterized by severe throbbing pain on one or both sides of the head, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, hypersensitivity to light and sound, and other symptoms. Common types include migraine without aura, migraine with aura, and chronic migraine. The causes of migraine are likely related to genetics, endocrine metabolism, environmental factors, mental factors, and other factors, and often have a genetic background. Female patients are 2-3 times more likely than males, and most patients are in adolescence, while a small number of patients may be in childhood.
[0003] Symptomatically, the typical presentation of migraine is severe headache, which can be unilateral headache, which can migrate to the other side, and can also be sensitive to light, noise, and odor. Common associated symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, abdominal pain, feeling very hot or cold, pale complexion, and other symptoms.
[0004] In terms of treatment, migraine cannot be cured at present, and most treatments aim to reduce headache attacks, relieve associated symptoms, and prevent headache recurrence. There are drug treatment and non-drug treatment, and drug treatment is divided into attack period treatment and preventive treatment. Clinical drugs include opioid analgesics, non-steroidal analgesics, and monoclonal antibodies, but they cannot produce satisfactory therapeutic effects, and some drugs have very serious side effects, and frequent use can cause other clinical symptoms in patients. Therefore, the current migraine treatment drugs have not been able to truly meet the clinical needs of patients, and migraine has been a disease that seriously affects the quality of human life.
[0005] The causes of migraine are generally believed to be genetic, endocrine metabolism, environmental factors, mental factors, and other factors. Further research has found that migraine is associated with pathological factors such as increased serum nitric oxide (NO) concentration, because increased serum nitric oxide (NO) concentration can cause dilation of the brain blood vessels, thereby causing migraine, and nitric oxide can cause pain hypersensitivity and inflammatory response, which can exacerbate the degree of migraine, [1-5] and reducing nitric oxide (NO) levels is an effective method for improving the degree of migraine.
[0006] Current migraine treatment options include acute and preventive treatment. With the exploration of migraine attack-related signaling pathways, more and more treatment methods will be developed for migraine treatment, and down-regulating nitric oxide (NO) concentration can be used as an effective method for treating migraine.
