One of the headaches, vascular headaches, migraine headaches, cluster headaches, and migraine treated by the methods and compositions of the invention is migraine.

The invention features methods for preventing or treating CGRP associated disorders such as vasomotor symptoms, including headaches (e.g., migraine, cluster headache, and tension headache) and hot flushes, by administering an anti-CGRP antagonist antibody. Antagonist antibody G1 and antibodies derived from G1 directed to CGRP are also described.

Non-invasive electrical nerve stimulation devices and magnetic stimulation devices are disclosed, along with methods of treating medical disorders using energy that is delivered noninvasively by such devices. The disorders comprise migraine and other primary headaches such as cluster headaches, including sinus symptoms that resemble an immune-mediated response (“sinus” headaches), irrespective of whether those symptoms arise from an allergy that is co-morbid with the headache. The disclosed methods may also be used to treat other disorders that may be co-morbid with migraine headaches, such as anxiety disorders. In preferred embodiments of the disclosed methods, one or both of the patient's vagus nerves are stimulated non-invasively. In other embodiments, parts of the sympathetic nervous system and / or the adrenal glands are stimulated.

A method of treatment or prevention of headache, migraine or cluster headaches, which method comprises co-administration of a therapeutically effective amount of the compound 1-[N2-[3,5-dibromo-N-[[4-(3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-oxochinazolin-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]-carbonyl]-D-tyrosyl]-L-lysyl]-4-(4-pyridinyl)-piperazine [BIBN4096BS] or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof and a therapeutically effective amount of a second active antimigraine drug, particularly sumatriptan, zolmitriptan or dihydroergotamin or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof, as well as to the corresponding pharmaceutical compositions and the preparation thereof.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation devices and magnetic stimulation devices are disclosed, along with methods of treating medical disorders using energy that is delivered noninvasively by such devices. The disorders comprise migraine and other primary headaches such as cluster headaches, including nasal or paranasal sinus symptoms that resemble an immune-mediated response (“sinus” headaches). The devices and methods may also be used to treat rhinitis, sinusitis, or rhinosinusitis, irrespective of whether those disorders are co-morbid with a headache. They may also be used to treat other disorders that may be co-morbid with migraine or cluster headaches, such as anxiety disorders. In preferred embodiments of the disclosed methods, one or both of the patient's vagus nerves are stimulated non-invasively. In other embodiments, parts of the sympathetic nervous system and / or the adrenal glands are stimulated.

A method and system for addressing the avoidance of migraines, cluster headaches and dizziness by adjusting an individual's microbiome, and in particular, to the provision of beneficial oral and gut microbes at particular times to enhance a person's oral health, including through the use of oral strips that adhere to surfaces in the oral cavity and that include at least one of xylitol, Lachnospira, Veillonella, Faecalibacterium and / or Rothia bacteria, including bacteria transformed via a CR / SPR system.

The present invention relates to monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to human pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such antibodies. Methods of treating or preventing headache conditions, such as migraine and cluster headache, using the monoclonal antibodies are also described.

Provided is a compound useful as an N-type Ca2+ channel blocker. As a result of intensive studies of compounds having an action of blocking N-type Ca2+ channels, the present inventors found that a tetrahydroisoquinoline compound of the present invention having a substituent at the 1-position has an action of blocking the N-type Ca2+ channels, an antinociceptive pain action, an antineuropathic pain action, an abdominal pain-inhibitory action and an opioid-induced constipation-improving action, and the present invention has been completed based on these findings. The compound of the present invention can be used as a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and / or treating various pains such as neuropathic pain and nociceptive pain, headaches such as migraine and cluster headache, central nervous system diseases such as anxiety, depression, epilepsy, cerebral stroke and restless legs syndrome, abdominal symptoms such as abdominal pain and abdominal distension, stool abnormalities such as diarrhea and constipation, digestive system diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome, urinary system diseases such as overactive bladder and interstitial cystitis, etc.

Methods for easing the duration of pain experienced by patients during a cluster headache are disclosed including providing a high-pressure source of substantially pure oxygen, applying the oxygen to the patient so that inhalation by the patient is substantially limited to inhalation of the substantially pure oxygen, inhaling the substantially pure oxygen in order to cause hyperventilation by the patient, and continuing hyperventilation at least until the patient achieves respiratory alkalosis, hypocapnia hyperoxia, and until the pain is terminated. The method preferably includes using a demand valve having a predetermined manual purge flow rate and a variable output flow rate to the user based on respiratory demand.

The invention is directed to topical formulations and methods of treating a migraines and / or cluster headaches, muscle sprains, muscle spasms, spasticity, tension headaches, tension related migraines and related conditions associated with muscle tension and pain with a therapeutically effective amount of an ergot alkaloid, skeletal muscle relaxant, serotonin agonist, combinations thereof, pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, prodrugs thereof or derivative thereof.

Provided are methods of treating a patient diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, by administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of Compound A. Also provided are methods of improving resilience in a patient by administering a therapeutically effective amount of Compound A. Also provided are methods of diagnosing post-traumatic stress disorder in a patient by administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of Compound A and assessing at least one of sign, symptom, or symptom cluster of post-traumatic stress disorder; and diagnosing post-traumatic stress disorder in the patient if the Compound A reduces at least one of sign, symptom, and symptom cluster of post-traumatic stress disorder.
