μ‐Opioid Receptor Dynamics in the Parameningeal Tissue During Migraine Attacks
Objective The possible impact of meningeal μ‐opioid receptor (μOR) binding in migraine remains unknown. This study investigated μOR availability in the cranial parameninges involved in migraine initiation via nociceptor activation. Methods We used positron emission tomography with [11C] carfentanil, and measured μOR availability in meninges and ...

To systematize the genetic basis correctly associated with nonresponse to triptan, we revised etiological studies on Web of Science, Embase, and PubMed until 2023. We found that only polymorphisms in the SLC6A4, 5‐HT1B, and COMT genes have a stronger association with this condition. More robust studies are needed to increase this certainty.
