    Abstract Background: The aim of the present study was to assess the migraine outcome, in particular migraine disability, in chronic (CM) and high frequency episodic migraine (HFEM) patients in treatment with galcanezumab.
    Methods: The present study was conducted at the Headache Centre of Spedali Civili of Brescia. Patients were treated with galcanezumab 120 mg monthly. Clinical and demographical information were collected at the baseline (T0). Data about outcome, analgesics consumption and disability (MIDAS and HIT-6 scores) were collected quarterly.
    Results: Fifty-four consecutive patients were enrolled. Thirty-seven patients had a diagnosis of CM, 17 of HFEM. During treatment, patients reported a significant reduction in terms of mean headache/migraine days (
    Discussion: Monthly prophylactic treatment with galcanezumab was found to be effective in both CM and HFEM, especially in reducing migraine burden and disability.

    Abstract Background: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays a pivotal role in migraine physiology, not only regarding migraine pain but also associated symptoms such as photophobia. The aim of the present study was to assess monoclonal antibodies targeting CGRP efficacy not only in terms of headache and migraine frequency and disability but also in reducing ictal photophobia.
    Material and methods: This is a retrospective observational study, conducted at the Headache Center-ASST Spedali Civili Brescia. All patients in monthly treatment with galcanezumab with at least a 6-month follow-up in September 2022 with reported severe photophobia during migraine attacks were included. Data regarding headache frequency, analgesics consumption, and migraine disability were collected quarterly. Moreover, patients were asked the following information regarding photophobia: (1) whether they noticed an improvement in photophobia during migraine attacks since galcanezumab introduction; (2) the degree of photophobia improvement (low, moderate, and high); and (3) timing photophobia improvement.
    Results: Forty-seven patients were enrolled in the present study as they met the inclusion criteria. Seventeen patients had a diagnosis of high-frequency episodic migraine and 30 of chronic migraine. From baseline to T3 and T6, a significant improvement in terms of headache days (19.2 ± 7.6 vs. 8.6 ± 6.8 vs. 7.7 ± 5.7;
    Conclusions: The present study confirms previous reports regarding galcanezumab efficacy beyond migraine frequency. In particular, over 60% of patients, in our cohort, documented a significant improvement also in reducing ictal photophobia. This improvement was, in most patients, moderate to high, and within the first 6 months of treatment, regardless of the clinical response on migraine frequency.

    Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether previous preventive treatment with onabotulinumtoxin-A might influence subsequent clinical response following a switch to anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The present retrospective study was conducted at the Headache Centre-Neurology Clinic at the Spedali Civili Hospital of Brescia between November 2018 and May 2023. The primary objective was to assess clinical outcome (monthly headache days (MHDs), monthly migraine days (MMDs), mean analgesics consumption, and clinical disability according to Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS)) following three months (T3) of preventive treatment with anti-CGRP mAbs comparing patients who did and those who did not previously receive treatment with Onabotulinumtoxin-A. Moreover, we aimed to evaluate whether the clinical response to anti-CGRP mAbs was affected by the number of previous Onabotulinumtoxin-A administrations. At T3, compared to Onabotulinumtoxin-A naïve patients, patients who previously received Onabotulinumtoxin-A documented fewer MMDs (3.3 ± 3.7 versus 5.2 ± 5.0;

    Abstract Background and purpose: Based on their pharmacological target, two classes of calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been identified: antibodies against the CGRP ligand-galcanezumab, fremanezumab, eptinezumab-and antibodies against the CGRP receptor (CGRP-R), erenumab. The aim of the present study was to compare anti-CGRP versus anti-CGRP-R mAbs in patients with high frequency episodic and chronic migraine.
    Methods: All patients on monthly treatment with anti-CGRP mAbs with an available 6 months' follow-up at January 2022 were included. Data on efficacy outcome were collected following one (T1), three (T3) and six (T6) months of treatment, and included monthly headache/migraine days, the Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS) and Headache Impact Test 6 (HIT-6) scores, pain intensity, analgesics consumption and response rates (>50% headache days reduction compared to baseline).
    Results: In all, 152 patients were enrolled, of whom 68 were in treatment with anti-CGRP mAbs (49 galcanezumab, 19 fremanezumab) and 84 with the anti-CGRP-R (erenumab). MIDAS scores were significantly lower in the anti-CGRP group at T1 and T3 (respectively p < 0.02 and p < 0.03) as well as the number of mean migraine days at T3 (p < 0.01). At T3 and T6 outcome measures were comparable, although a significantly higher percentage of super-responders was found in the anti-CGRP group (respectively p < 0.04 and p < 0.05), with a similar overall percentage of responders.
    Conclusions: The present study on a real-world sample confirms the beneficial effect of both anti-CGRP and anti-CGRP-R mAbs, with a more favorable outcome for anti-CGRP antibodies.

    Abstract Introduction: Neurodegenerative diseases are a growing concern in an aging global population. Frailty, often conceptualized as a state of diminished physiological reserve and increased susceptibility to stressors, emerges as a pivotal factor in this context. While frailty may be modified, it is essential to recognize its frequently irreversible nature, necessitating a careful approach when considering its role and influence in the progression from Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) to dementia and within dementia progression.
    Methods: A retrospective study including 1284 participants from January 2021 to May 2023, was conducted. Frailty was assessed using the clinical frailty scale (CFS) score. Multilevel univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were developed to determine the contributions of patient characteristics, including frailty, to disease progression.
    Results: Frailty significantly increased with higher global clinical dementia rating (CDR) subgroups, suggesting escalating frailty burden with disease progression. Age, CFS, and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) scores were significant predictors of progression from MCI to dementia and to more severe dementia stages, even when considering the independence from variables contributing to frailty. Patients transitioning to a higher CDR group exhibited higher CFS scores. Age, education, anticholinergic burden, cumulative illness rating scale-geriatric, MMSE, and neuropsychiatric inventory scores significantly contributed to frailty.
    Conclusions: Frailty plays a critical role in the transition from MCI to dementia and within dementia progression. Age, cognitive impairment, and frailty were identified as significant predictors of disease progression. The CFS is a clinically applicable tool for frailty assessment. Regular frailty assessments may be valuable in early detection and management of dementia.

    Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether previous preventive treatment with onabotulinumtoxin-A might influence subsequent clinical response following a switch to anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The present retrospective study was conducted at the Headache Centre—Neurology Clinic at the Spedali Civili Hospital of Brescia between November 2018 and May 2023. The primary objective was to assess clinical outcome (monthly headache days (MHDs), monthly migraine days (MMDs), mean analgesics consumption, and clinical disability according to Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS)) following three months (T3) of preventive treatment with anti-CGRP mAbs comparing patients who did and those who did not previously receive treatment with Onabotulinumtoxin-A. Moreover, we aimed to evaluate whether the clinical response to anti-CGRP mAbs was affected by the number of previous Onabotulinumtoxin-A administrations. At T3, compared to Onabotulinumtoxin-A naïve patients, patients who previously received Onabotulinumtoxin-A documented fewer MMDs (3.3 ± 3.7 versus 5.2 ± 5.0; p = 0.017) and a lower MIDAS score (23.2 ± 20.9 versus 37.4 ± 39.6; p = 0.013). Patients who received at least 3 onabotulinumtoxin-A administrations documented, at T3, lower MMDs compared to those who received fewer cycles (respectively, 2.1 ± 2.7 vs. 6.5 ± 4.4; p = 0.024). In conclusion, according to our data, previous treatment with onabotulinumtoxin-A might improve subsequent response to anti-CGRP mAbs preventive treatment.

Results: Fifty-four consecutive patients were enrolled. Thirty-seven patients had a diagnosis of CM, 17 of HFEM. During treatment, patients reported a significant reduction in terms of mean headache/migraine days ( p < 0.001), the attacks’ pain intensity ( p = 0.001) and monthly consumed analgesics ( p < 0.001). The MIDAS and HIT-6 scores also documented a significant improvement ( p < 0.001). At the baseline, all patients documented a severe degree of disability (MIDAS score ≥ 21). Following six months of treatment, only 29.2% of patients still documented a MIDAS score ≥ 21, with one third of patients documenting little or no disability. A > 50% MIDAS reduction, compared to baseline, was observed in up to 94.6% of patients, following the first three months of treatment. A similar outcome was found for HIT-6 scores. A significant positive correlation was found between headache days and MIDAS at T3 and T6 (T6 > T3), but not baseline. Discussion: Monthly prophylactic treatment with galcanezumab was found to be effective in both CM and HFEM, especially in reducing migraine burden and disability.
