16 Chronic migraine and MOH 17 Nearly 50% do not overuse medication Medication withdrawal may not result in improvement Two hypotheses: - Chronification driven by another factor - Chronification caused by overuse, but now reversible

17 18 Chronic migraine Pathophysiology

18 Activation of trigeminal sensory afferents Central disinhibition 2. Stimulation of meningeal sensory nerve (trigeminal) 6. PAIN Vessel dilation Nerve Peptide release Inflammation 3. Release of painenhancing neuropeptides, such as CGRP Trigeminal Nerve Trigeminal Ganglion Spinothalamic tract Thalamus TNC 5. Activation of cortical pain centers via thalamus CGRP = calcitonin gene-related peptide; TNC = trigeminal nucleus candalis. 1. Pietrobon D et al. Nat Rev Neurosci. 2003;4: Pietrobon D. Neuroscientist. 2005;11: Activation of trigeminal nucleus caudalis can result in central sensitization

19 Communication between sensory nerves outside and inside of the skull 20 Extracranial origin of intracranial pain Unmyelinated C-fibers Activation Release of pro-inflammatory neuropeptides Kosaras B et al. J Comp Neurol. 2009;515:

20 Fundamental biology of attacks in episodic migraine 21 Intermittent central sensitization in episodic migraine 1. Aurora SK. Cephalalgia. 2009;29: Dodick D, Silberstein S. Headache. 2006;46(Suppl 4):S182-S191.

21 Chronic migraine pathophysiology overview 22 Primary disorder of the brain Often occurs after repeated attacks of episodic migraine Believed to be a disorder of cortical hyperexcitability and dysfunctional brainstem pain modulating centers Persistent central sensitization 1.
