Article Abstract
Medication overuse headache (MOH) is a serious global condition. The interaction between headache attacks and medication overuse complicates the understanding of its pathophysiology. In this study, we developed a preclinical MOH model that incorporates these two key factors by overusing rizatriptan benzoate (RIZ, 4 mg/kg, i.g.) in a glyceryl trinitrate (GTN, 10 mg/kg, i.p.) induced chronic migraine mouse model. We observed that RIZ overuse aggravated GTN-induced cutaneous allodynia and caused a prolonged state of latent sensitization. We also detected a significant upregulation of Annexin-A1 (ANXA1), a protein mainly expressed in the microglia of the spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis (SPVC), in GTN+RIZ mice. Intracerebroventricular injection of ANXA1-derived peptide Ac2-26 trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) (5 μg/mouse) inhibited bright light stress (BLS) induced acute allodynia via the formyl peptide receptor (FPR) in GTN+RIZ mice. These results suggest that ANXA1 may have an analgesic effect in triptan-associated MOH and could potentially serve as a therapeutic target.

Introduction The global rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a serious public health threat, reducing the effectiveness of commonly used antibiotics against prevalent bacterial infections. The mushrooming of Indian e-pharmacies, especially during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, has improved public access to medicines, including antibiotics. However, the ease of availability, combined with an ambiguous regulatory framework governing e-pharmacies, may inadvertently encourage the irrational use of antibiotics.

Introduction: Refractory migraine (RM) is characterized by a lack of response to both migraine-specific and repurposed treatments, significantly impairing quality of life. Risk factors for RM include, among others, overuse of symptomatic medications, nonadherence to treatment and comorbid conditions that limit the use of anti-migraine medications.
Areas Covered: This critical perspective addresses the diagnosis and management of patients with RM.

Purpose: Loneliness is related to menstrual disorders and medication use. Loneliness and pain are related and may be associated with analgesic use. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of concomitant analgesic use and overuse, and to clarify factors associated with loneliness and analgesic overuse among women who are low-dose estrogen-progestin (LEP) users.

Introduction: Real-world studies have explored potential predictors of response to anti-calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), though results have remained inconsistent. Machine learning (ML) algorithms are becoming increasingly relevant in migraine research, offering a data-driven approach to identifying predictors of response to preventive treatments. To maximize their potential, a clinically applicable and user-oriented framework is needed to promote the use of these algorithms in research and, eventually, as supportive tools in clinical practice.
