RESEARCH ARTICLE: Association Between Follow-Up Mean Blood Pressure and Blood Pressure Control: A Meta-Regression Analysis of 101 Randomized Trials @faradoost

Better migraine treatments mean little if patients cannot access them.
Pleased to have reviewed and endorsed this paper calling for fairer PBS access and more affordable migraine care.
Please read, share and help raise awareness!

CGRPは血管拡張作用があります💉
よって片頭痛予防の抗CGRP薬は、
「血圧が上がるのでは？」🤷
と懸念されていました。
約1.9万人を対象としたメタアナリシス
→抗CGRPでの明らかな血圧上昇は見られなかったそうです。
少なくとも短期的には、大きな影響はなさそうですね🤔
New in Cephalalgia Reports!
Meta-analysis of FDA trial data shows anti-CGRP therapies are not associated with clinically significant increases in blood pressure, supporting their cardiovascular safety in migraine treatment.

🧠 Migraine is more than just a headache!
🌍 1.16 billion people affected worldwide.
⚡ One of the leading causes of disability, with impacts extending far beyond headache attacks.
Swipe through 4 key facts from the latest Lancet review (2026).

Do anti-CGRP migraine medications increase blood pressure?
We analysed FDA data from 20 RCTs and 18,886 participants.
Reassuringly, neither anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies nor gepants were associated with significant increases in BP vs placebo.

Excited to share a new Call for Papers in Cephalalgia — the official journal of the International Headache Society.
🧠 Special Issue: Managing and Understanding Headache in the Context of Comorbid Conditions
Guest Editors: Faraidoon Haghdoost and Henrik Winther Schytz
Headache disorders such as migraine and tension-type headache rarely exist in isolation. They often sit alongside high blood pressure, dyslipidaemia, depression, anxiety, gastrointestinal disorders, and more. This special issue focuses on integrated, real-world approaches to care — from shared pathophysiology and overlapping risk factors to multidisciplinary management and treatments that address both headache and comorbid conditions.
We welcome:
• Original research and clinical trials
• Systematic reviews and network meta-analyses
• Real-world evidence
• Viewpoints and perspectives
If your work explores headache in the context of comorbidities — cardiovascular, mental health, gastrointestinal, or beyond — we would love to hear from you.
📅 Submission deadline: 31 December 2026
📌 Please note in your cover letter that your manuscript is for the “Headache and Comorbidities” special issue.
Let’s move toward more holistic, patient-centred headache care. Looking forward to your submissions and to advancing this important conversation together.

🧠 What symptoms of cluster headache tend to occur together?
Our new study showed:
🔗 Tearing ↔️ runny nose
🔗 Smaller pupil ↔️ runny nose, drooping eyelid & eye swelling
🔗 Neck pain ↔️ back-of-the-head pain

Can exercise trigger headaches—or help prevent them? The answer is both.
Our new review in Practical Neurology explores the evidence, practical management, and how to distinguish migraine from primary exercise headache.
