Brief Summary: Tools to predict which patients could better respond to abortive CGRP target therapy are still lacking We propose to investigate if biochemical salivary CGRP and neurophysiological evoked potentials biomarkers can recognize patients with the best chances of responding to Rimegepant 75 mg as an acute treatment of migraine
Detailed Description: Background The understanding of the central role of CGRP in migraine pathophysiology led to the development of new target therapies against this molecule pathway including Rimegepant Despite the central role of the CGRP pathway in migraine it was recently discovered that some migraine attacks are non CGRP-dependent Tools to predict which patients could better respond to abortive CGRP target therapy are still lacking

Objective We propose to investigate if biochemical salivary CGRP and neurophysiological evoked potentials biomarkers can recognize patients with the best chances of responding to Rimegepant 75 mg as an acute treatment of migraine

Design of the study and methods This will be a prospective observational study The study will be subdivided into four phases screening visit T0 salivary collection observational phase follow-up visit T1 At the screening visit T0 patients with episodic migraine 20 patients which will be prescribed Rimegepant 75 mg as abortive treatment will be asked to participate in the study During the salivary collection phase patients will be instructed to collect daily saliva samples for a minimum of 7 days and a maximum of 14 days to include a minimum of 1 migraine attack During the observational phase 1-month duration patients will take Rimegepant 75 mg for abortive treatment of migraine attacks and they will be instructed to take extra saliva samples headache onset after 2h and 8h at each migraine attack Neurophysiological procedures somatosensory evoked potentials and nociceptive blink reflex will be recorded at baseline T0 and after 1 month follow-up visit T1 of administration of Rimegepant 75 mg as an abortive migraine treatment We chose somatosensory evoked potentials SSEPs to assess the integrity of the non-pain-related somatosensory lemniscal system and to study habituation phenomena and nociceptive blink reflex nBR to investigate the activity of the caudal trigeminal nucleus CGRP salivary levels will be quantified with ELISA kit

Specific aim We aim to predict Rimegepant used as abortive therapy response from baseline CGRP salivary levels and neurophysiological parameters habituation and sensitization from somatosensory evoked potentials and nociceptive blink reflex Mixing and comparing these two approaches could help to find a combination of biomarkers able to predict the treatment success We hypothesize that patients with marked habituation deficit less sensitization and more elevated CGRP salivary levels during the attack will be the patients who will respond the most to Rimegepant 75 mg as abortive migraine therapy
