Abstract
OBJECTIVE The comorbid relationship between migraine and depression has been well recognized, but its underlying pathophysiology is unclear. Here, we aimed to explore the structural changes of the amygdala and the abnormal functional connectivity of the centromedial amygdala (CMA) in migraineurs with depression. METHODS High-resolution T1-weighted and functional magnetic resonance images were acquired from 22 episodic migraineurs with comorbid depression (EMwD), 21 episodic migraineurs without depression (EM), and 17 healthy controls (HC). Voxel-based morphometry and resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) were applied to examine the intergroup differences in amygdala volume. RESULTS The bilateral amygdala volume was increased in the EMwD and EM groups compared with the HC group, but there were no differences between the EMwD and EM groups. The right CMA exhibited decreased rsFC in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in the EMwD group compared with the EM group, while rsFC increased between the CMA and the contralateral DLPFC in the EM group compared with the HC group. In addition, the EM group showed decreased rsFC between the left CMA and the left pallidum compared with the HC group. CONCLUSIONS Enlarged amygdala is an imaging feature of EM and EMwD. The inconsistency of rsFC between CMA and DLPFC between migraineurs with and without depression might indicate that decreased rsFC between CMA and DLPFC is a neuropathologic marker for the comorbidity of migraine and depression. The core regions might be a potential intervention target for the treatment of EMwD in the future.

Abstract
Migraine is a highly prevalent neurological disorder. Among the risk factors identified, psychiatric comorbidities, such as depression, seem to play an important role in its onset and clinical course. Patients with migraine are 2.5 times more likely to develop a depressive disorder; this risk becomes even higher in patients suffering from chronic migraine or migraine with aura. This relationship is bidirectional, since depression also predicts an earlier/worse onset of migraine, increasing the risk of migraine chronicity and, consequently, requiring a higher healthcare expenditure compared to migraine alone. All these data suggest that migraine and depression may share overlapping biological mechanisms. Herein, this review explores this topic in further detail: firstly, by introducing the common epidemiological and risk factors for this comorbidity; secondly, by focusing on providing the cumulative evidence of common biological aspects, with a particular emphasis on the serotoninergic system, neuropeptides such as calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP), pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), substance P, neuropeptide Y and orexins, sexual hormones, and the immune system; lastly, by remarking on the future challenges required to elucidate the etiopathological mechanisms of migraine and depression and providing updated information regarding new key targets for the pharmacological treatment of these clinical entities.

Abstract
Migraine and major depressive disorders (MDD) or treatment resistant depression (TRD) represent a significant global burden and are often comorbid, further complicating diagnosis and treatment. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a bidirectional relationship between migraine and MDD/TRD, with patients suffering from one disorder exhibiting a heightened risk of developing the other. This association is believed to result from shared genetic factors, neurotransmitter dysregulation, inflammation, hormonal alteration, and other conditions comorbid with both disorders. Emerging evidence suggests that therapeutics targeting common pathways in both disorders may be beneficial for comorbid patients. Novel therapeutics for migraine or MDD/TRD, such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-targeting therapy, onabotulinumtoxinA, ketamine/esketamine, vagus nerve stimulation or transcranial magnetic stimulation, may be helpful in selected patients with comorbid migraine-MDD/TRD. Nevertheless, continued efforts are needed to improve early detection and intervention, to better understand the complex interplay between genetic, environmental, and psychosocial factors contributing to this comorbidity, to identify novel therapeutic targets, and ultimately, to alleviate the disease burden caused by this comorbidity.

Abstract
Depressive symptoms differ in severity and stability over time. Trajectories depicting these changes, particularly those with high late-life depressive symptoms, have been associated with poor brain health at old age. To better understand these associations across the lifespan, we examined depressive symptoms trajectories in relation to brain health in middle age. We included 1676 participants from the ORACLE Study, all were expecting a child at baseline (mean age 32.8, 66.6% women). Depressive symptoms were assessed at baseline, 3 years and 10 years after baseline. Brain health (global brain volume, subcortical structures volume, white matter lesions, cerebral microbleeds, cortical thickness, cortical surface area) was assessed 15 years after baseline. Using k-means clustering, four depressive symptoms trajectories were identified: low, low increasing, decreasing, and high increasing symptoms. The high increasing trajectory was associated with smaller brain volume compared to low symptoms, not surviving multiple testing correction. The low increasing trajectory was associated with more cortical thickness in a small region encompassing the right lateral occipital cortex compared to low symptoms. These findings show that longitudinal depressive symptoms trajectories are only minimally associated with brain health in middle age, suggesting that associations may only emerge later in life.

Abstract
Background Headache, a highly prevalent neurological disorder, has consistently been linked with an elevated risk of dementia. However, most studies are focused on the relationship with migraine in limited age groups. Therefore, the objective of this research was to look at the link between various type of headaches and dementias based on longitudinal population-based data. Methods and results Participants diagnosed with headache from 2002 to 2005 were selected and major covariates were collected. The diagnoses of Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, and other dementias were observed from 2006 until 2013. The adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of dementias according to headache type were calculated by Cox proportional hazards regression. A number of 470,652 participants were observed for a mean of 7.6 years (standard deviation: 1.2), for approximately 3.6 million person-years. Both tension type headache (TTH) and migraine elevated the risk of all-cause dementias (TTH, aHR 1.18, 95% CI 1.13–2.24; migraine, aHR 1.18, 95% CI 1.13–2.24). Headaches had a greater influence in females and non-smokers as a risk factor of dementias. Patients with migraine who consumed alcohol had a higher risk of dementia, however this was not true with TTH patients. Among participants without comorbidities, TTH patients were more susceptible to dementia than migraine patients. Headache patients had a higher proportion of females regardless of headache type and approximately 1.5 times more individuals had three or more comorbidities compared to those without headache. Conclusions Headache could be an independent predictor for subsequent dementia risk. Future studies should focus on clarifying pathogenic pathways and possible dementia-related preventive measures in headache populations.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although migraine phenotype has been widely described, the explanation of migraine pathophysiology still has a gap that might be partly bridged by neuroimaging investigations. The aim of the study is to assess volumetric brain changes in migraineurs compared with controls, and in episodic migraine in comparison to chronic type. Structural brain changes in migraineurs (with and without aura) were assessed by an automated segmentation method (Free Surfer). T1-weighted MRIs of 25 migraineurs (14 diagnosed as episodic type and 11 diagnosed as chronic migraine) and 25 headache-free controls were evaluated and processed.
Results
Migraine patients had significant reduction of the volume of total brain, grey matter, brain stem, cerebellum, basal ganglia, thalamus, hippocampus and amygdala in comparison to control subjects. Patients with chronic migraine had significant reduction in volume of total brain, grey matter, cerebellum and frontal lobe thickness in comparison to those with episodic migraine.
Conclusion
Migraineurs showed volumetric brain changes mainly in areas related to central processing of pain and in areas specific for migraine (such as brain stem) when compared to healthy controls. Chronic migraineurs showed significant reduction in grey matter, in areas involved in processing of pain, cognition and multisensory integration versus patients with episodic migraine, which adds insight into the pathophysiology of migraine as a progressive disorder that may have long-term impacts on the brain as regards structure and function.

Abstract
Migraine is one of the most common and highest burdens of disease. As a primary cerebral dysfunction illness, migraine might exhibit other system-related symptoms, including vestibular and cochlear symptoms. With the publication of the diagnostic criteria of vestibular migraine, the link between migraine and vestibular symptoms became clear. However, the relationship between migraine and cochlear symptoms is far from straightforward. Therefore, we focus on the correlation between migraine and deafness, sudden sensorineural hearing loss, acute tinnitus, and chronic tinnitus to better understand the relationship between migraine and cochlear symptoms.

Abstract
The association between migraine and psychiatric disorders is well documented through numerous population-based studies. The results of these studies are coherent and show an increased risk of suffering from depression, bipolar disorders, numerous anxiety disorders, especially post-traumatic stress disorder. This raises the question of stress as a precipitating factor for migraine illness. Psychiatric comorbidity is even more frequent in chronic migraine than in episodic migraine patients. Many prospective studies have shown that psychiatric comorbidity could be considered as a risk factor for migraine chronicization. Psychiatric comorbidity is also responsible for an increase of the frequency of anti-migraine drug intake, a worsening of quality of life and a worsening of functional impairment. It is also responsible for an increase in the direct and indirect costs of migraine. The reason why psychiatric comorbidity is so high in migraineurs is not unambiguous. Multiple causal relationships and common etiological factors are linked. Recently, genome-wide association studies gave leads to a genetic common heritability between major depressive disorder and migraine. For clinicians, an important topic remains how to treat migraineurs with psychiatric comorbidity. These patients suffer frequently from severe migraine or refractory migraine. Antidepressant and anti-convulsive drugs can be useful, as well as psychological therapies. But moreover, it is of utmost importance to propose an integrated multidisciplinary approach to these difficult patients.

Abstract
Background The high comorbidity of migraine and depression is suggestive of shared risk factors or common mechanisms between the two diseases. In individuals with a depressive disorder, there is a high prevalence of altered midbrain raphe (MBR) echogenicity, detectable via transcranial sonography (TCS), that is suggested to be linked with a dysfunction of the serotoninergic system. In patients with migraine, this alteration has seldom been explored in earlier studies, and conclusions are often lacking. Our study aimed to elucidate whether this alteration is specific to migraine and to determine whether it is related with depression. Methods This study enrolled patients with migraine (n = 100, 72% female) and patients with tension-type headache disorders (TTH) (n = 62, 78.5% female) from a headache clinic. In addition, 79 healthy subjects (79.7% female) were recruited as controls. All participants underwent a standard interview to evaluate headache information and an interview with psychiatrists for depression evaluation. TCS examinations were performed on all participants. Results Patients with migraine had a higher rate of MBR hypoechogenicity (28%) compared with that of healthy controls (15.2%) and that of patients with TTH (12.9%). In patients with migraine, reduced MBR echogenicity was associated with depressive symptoms assessed using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D). No association between migraine self-medication and MBR echogenicity was found. Conclusion Reduced-echoic MBR detected by TCS is prevalent in migraine patients and is associated with depressive symptoms. TCS-detected hypoechogenic MBR abnormality could be an imaging biomarker of depressive symptoms in patients with migraine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Migraine and depression are highly prevalent and partly overlapping disorders that cause strong limitations in daily life. Patients tend to respond poorly to the therapies available for these diseases. OnabotulinumtoxinA has been proven to be an effective treatment for both migraine and depression. While many studies have addressed the effect of onabotulinumtoxinA in migraine or depression separately, a growing body of evidence suggests beneficial effects also for patients comorbid with migraine and depression. The current meta-analysis systematically investigates to what extent onabotulinumtoxinA is efficient in migraineurs with depression. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed based on PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science from the earliest date till October [Formula: see text], 2020. Mean, standard deviation (SD) and sample size have been used to evaluate improvement in depressive symptoms and migraine using random-effects empirical Bayes model. RESULTS Our search retrieved 259 studies, eight of which met the inclusion criteria. OnabotulinumtoxinA injections administered to patients with both chronic migraine and major depressive disorder led to mean reduction of [Formula: see text] points (CI [[Formula: see text]], [Formula: see text]) in the BDI scale, of [Formula: see text] points (CI [[Formula: see text]], [Formula: see text]) in the BDI-II scale and of [Formula: see text] points (CI [[Formula: see text]], [Formula: see text]) in the PHQ-9 scale, when evaluating depressive symptoms. In the case of the migraine-related symptoms, we found mean reductions of [Formula: see text] (CI [[Formula: see text]], [Formula: see text]) points in the HIT6 scale, [Formula: see text] (CI [[Formula: see text]], [Formula: see text]) in the MIDAS scale, [Formula: see text] (CI [[Formula: see text]], [Formula: see text]) points in the VAS scale and of [Formula: see text] (CI [[Formula: see text]], [Formula: see text]) migraine episodes per month. Comorbid patients showed slightly better improvements in BDI, HIT6 scores and migraine frequency compared to monomorbid patients. The latter group manifested better results in MIDAS and VAS scores. CONCLUSION Treatment with onabotulinumtoxinA leads to a significant reduction of disease severity of both chronic migraine and major depressive disorder in patients comorbid with both diseases. Comparative analyses suggest an equivalent strong effect in monomorbid and comorbid patients, with beneficial effects specifically seen for certain migraine features.

Alternative Microstructural Measures to Complement Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Migraine Studies with Standard MRI Acquisition. Brain Sci 2020; 10:brainsci10100711.

Abstract
The white matter state in migraine has been investigated using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measures, but results using this technique are conflicting. To overcome DTI measures, we employed ensemble average diffusion propagator measures obtained with apparent measures using reduced acquisitions (AMURA). The AMURA measures were return-to-axis (RTAP), return-to-origin (RTOP) and return-to-plane probabilities (RTPP). Tract-based spatial statistics was used to compare fractional anisotropy, mean diffusivity, axial diffusivity and radial diffusivity from DTI, and RTAP, RTOP and RTPP, between healthy controls, episodic migraine and chronic migraine patients. Fifty healthy controls, 54 patients with episodic migraine and 56 with chronic migraine were assessed. Significant differences were found between both types of migraine, with lower axial diffusivity values in 38 white matter regions and higher RTOP values in the middle cerebellar peduncle in patients with a chronic migraine (p < 0.05 family-wise error corrected). Significantly lower RTPP values were found in episodic migraine patients compared to healthy controls in 24 white matter regions (p < 0.05 family-wise error corrected), finding no significant differences using DTI measures. The white matter microstructure is altered in a migraine, and in chronic compared to episodic migraine. AMURA can provide additional results with respect to DTI to uncover white matter alterations in migraine.

Abstract
Various studies on the association of migraine with depression are published. The comorbidity may upgrade health conditions up to a critical degree. Besides, the duration of symptoms and treatment may be prolonged. Moreover, these conditions can force substantial financial and social hardships on patients and their families. In this literature review, we intend to examine the evidence obtained on the possible associations between migraine and major depressive disorder (MDD). This review is focused on aminergic neurons. One of the variables associated with patients who experience both of these two diseases might have a history of assault. In migraine and MDD patients, genetic evidence, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), was found to be one of the associations. Another theory concluded that actual headache diagnosed in patients who received no treatment manifests a history of anxiety, and later, the patients display severe somatic symptoms. In conclusion, there is a robust molecular genetic background, explaining the relationship between migraines and MDD. This correlated data renders a combination of both diagnoses as single separate entities. However, further studies are encouraged to point out the issue of treatment strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE One out of three migraine patients might have accompanying restless legs syndrome (RLS). In our study, we aimed to compare the volumes of the brain structures of migraineurs with and without RLS. METHODS We had 37 female patients with migraine and 17 females as the control group. Nineteen migraineurs had no RLS (RLS0) and 18 migraineurs had comorbidity of RLS (RLS1). The volumes of the brain structures were obtained by manual measurements, volBrain, and voxel-based morphometry (VBM). Manually, we measured caudate and putamen volumes. We used age, years of education, depression, anxiety scores, and total intracranial volume as covariates. RESULTS According to VBM analyses, the volumes of the left superior occipital gyrus and precuneus were increased, and the substantia nigra and cuneus were decreased in the RLS1 group compared with the RLS0 group. RLS1 patients had larger superior temporal gyrus, Brodmann area 38, and left insula, and RLS0 patients had larger Brodmann area 22, right superior temporal gyrus, and Heschl gyrus compared with controls. Migraine and RLS0 patients had a smaller corpus callosum anteriorly, whereas RLS1 patients had a smaller splenium. Caudate volumes were larger in migraine patients via the three techniques. There was a positive relation between the caudate and putamen volumes and attack frequency. CONCLUSIONS Comorbidity of RLS might be a confounding factor in structural neuroimaging studies in migraine. Deficits in the visual network seem to be related to accompanying RLS; deficits in the auditory network are particularly related to migraine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Migraine is ranked as the seventh leading cause of disability worldwide, and it is characterized by a manifestation of combined neurological, gastrointestinal, and autonomic symptoms linked with different provoking factors. Aim of the study: This study investigates the association between migraine without aura and depression. METHOD A total number of 100 patients were enrolled in the study and were divided into two groups: 50 individuals with confirmed migraine without aura (the study group) and 50 individuals with no history of headaches (control group). All individuals were evaluated using the ICHD- II diagnostic criteria for migraine, as well as the Beck test for depression. RESULTS Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between migraine without aura and depression (p=0.023), but no significant association between depression and BMI, migraine length, gender, family history of depression, alcoholism, smoking cigarettes and number of drugs consumed. CONCLUSIONS Based on our data we can confirm an association between depression and migraine without aura.

Front Neurol 2019; 10:678. [PMID: 31354606 PMCID: PMC6635602 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2019.00678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2019] [Accepted: 06/10/2019] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Despite numerous studies that have investigated clinical, radiological, and biochemical response predictors, the clinical profile of those patients who might benefit from OnabotulinumtoxinA is still missing. The aim of the present study was to identify potential OnabotulinumtoxinA response predictors among several clinical characteristics and confirm OnabotulinumtoxinA efficacy and safety in chronic migraine (CM) prevention. Methods: The study was conducted at the Headache Center—Neurology Clinic—Spedali Civili Hospital of Brescia. Eighty-four consecutive CM patients were enrolled, with a mean age of 48 years (SD 9.7) and a mean disease duration of 10.1 years (SD 6.6). The mean reported headache-days frequency was 22.5 (SD 5.9) per month, while the mean number of severe headache-days was 15.2 (SD 8.9) with a mean monthly medication intake of 33.2 (SD 5.6). The clinical characteristics analyzed as potential response predictors were: gender, disease duration, migraine characteristics (location, side constancy, unilateral autonomic and neurovegetative symptoms), previous prophylactic treatments, add-on therapies, withdrawal therapies, psychiatric (anxiety and depression symptoms) comorbidities and medication overuse. Results: A significant reduction from baseline to 3, 6, 9, and 12 month treatment cycles in total headache days, high intensity headache days and triptans consumption per month was found. Depressive symptoms and medication overuse negatively predicted OnabotulinumtoxinA outcome. Conclusions: Our results confirm the efficacy and safety of OnabotulinumtoxinA in CM. Depressive comorbidity and medication overuse, among all clinical variables, were the only significant response predictors. Such findings provide interesting insights regarding patients selection for OnabotulinumtoxinA treatment as, with the introduction of anti calcitonin gene-related (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies, clinicians will have to thoroughly judge and tailor among the many available therapeutic options now available. Future research might be needed to confirm our findings, in particular for its therapeutic implications.

Abstract
Migraine comorbid with depression is common and is often encountered in clinical practice. The comorbidity may lead to more serious conditions with other symptoms and a longer duration of treatment and it may impose heavy economic and social burdens, directly or indirectly, on patients and their families. Numerous studies have been published on the association of migraine with depression. Numerous literature have showed that the comorbidity may have a common complicated pathogenic mechanism involving biopsychosocial characteristics, including abnormal brain development and shared genetic basis, as well as neurotransmitters, sex hormones and stress. In addition, some studies have identified the multiple, bidirectional relationship between migraine and depressive disorder. We searched the literature for the possible common mechanisms between migraine and depression and classified the research results.

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the association between migraines and dementia.Data were collected from 11,438 dementia participants who were 1:4 matched by age, sex, income, region of residence, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia with 45,752 controls from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort from 2002 to 2013. Dementia was diagnosed using the International Classification of Disease-10 (ICD-10) codes (G30 or F00). For the integrity of diagnoses, we included only participants ≥60 years old who had been diagnosed with an ICD-10 code twice or more during ambulatory visits for the same episode. For migraine (ICD-10 code, G43), we included participants who had visited outpatient clinics twice or more for the same episode. In both dementia and control groups, a previous history of migraine was investigated.Approximately 7.7% (881/11,438) of patients in the dementia group and 6.3% (2888/45,752) of those in the control group had a history of migraine (P < .001). The crude and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for migraine with dementia was 1.22 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.13-1.32, P < .001) and 1.13 (95% CI = 1.05-1.23, P = .002), respectively. In the subgroup analyses according to age and sex, women demonstrated a significantly higher adjusted OR for migraine with dementia, whereas men did not exhibit an association between migraine and dementia.In a nested case-control study using a national sample cohort, migraine increased the risk of dementia in women.

Abstract
In collaboration with some of the leading headache centres in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, we have established new guidelines for the treatment of migraine attacks and the prevention of migraine. A thorough literature research of the last 10 years has been the basis of the current recommendations. At the beginning, we present therapeutic novelties, followed by a summary of all recommendations. After an introduction, we cover topics like drug therapy and practical experience, non-effective medication, migraine prevention, interventional methods, non-medicational and psychological methods for prevention and therapies without proof of efficacy.

Abstract
Background The aims of this study were to investigate glaucomatous morphological changes quantitatively in the visual cortex of the brain with voxel-based morphometry (VBM), a normalizing MRI technique, and to clarify the relationship between glaucomatous damage and regional changes in the visual cortex of patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG). Methods Thirty-one patients with OAG (age: 55.9 ± 10.7, male: female = 9: 22) and 20 age-matched controls (age: 54.9 ± 9.8, male: female = 10: 10) were included in this study. The cross-sectional area (CSA) of the optic nerve was manually measured with T2-weighed MRI. Images of the visual cortex were acquired with T1-weighed 3D magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition with gradient echo (MPRAGE) sequencing, and the normalized regional visual cortex volume, i.e., gray matter density (GMD), in Brodmann areas (BA) 17, 18, and 19, was calculated with a normalizing technique based on statistic parametric mapping 8 (SPM8) analysis. We compared the regional GMD of the visual cortex in the control subjects and OAG patients. Spearman’s rank correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between optic nerve CSA and GMD in BA 17, 18, and 19. Results We found that the normal and OAG patients differed significantly in optic nerve CSA (p < 0.001) and visual cortex GMD in BA 17 (p = 0.030), BA 18 (p = 0.003), and BA 19 (p = 0.005). In addition, we found a significant correlation between optic nerve CSA and visual cortex GMD in BA 19 (r = 0.33, p = 0.023), but not in BA 17 (r = 0.17, p = 0.237) or BA 18 (r = 0.24, p = 0.099). Conclusion Quantitative MRI parametric evaluation of GMD can detect glaucoma-associated anatomical atrophy of the visual cortex in BA 17, 18, and 19. Furthermore, GMD in BA 19 was significantly correlated to the damage level of the optic nerve, as well as the retina, in patients with OAG. This is the first demonstration of an association between the cortex of the brain responsible for higher-order visual function and glaucoma severity. Evaluation of the visual cortex with MRI is thus a very promising potential method for objective examination in OAG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder is a common comorbidity in migraineurs. Depression may affect the progression and prognosis of migraine. Few studies have examined the brain function in migraineurs that may cause this comorbidity. Here, we aimed to explore depression-related abnormalities in the intrinsic brain activity of interictal migraineurs with comorbid depression using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS Significant main effects of migraine and depression provided evidence that migraine and depression jointly affected the left medial prefrontal cortex, which was thought to be the neural basis of self-referential mental activity in previous studies. Abnormalities in this region may contribute to determining the common symptoms of migraine and depression and even result in comorbidity. Additionally, migraineurs with comorbid depression had different developmental trajectories in the right thalamus and fusiform, which were associated with recognizing, transmitting, controlling and remembering pain and emotion. CONCLUSIONS Based on our findings, the abnormal mPFC which may contribute to determining the common symptoms in migraine and depression and may be a therapeutic target for migraineurs comorbid depression. The different developmental trajectory in thalamus and fusiform indicates that the comorbidity may arise through a specific mechanism rather than simple superposition of migraine and depression.

Abstract
Objective The literature on managing migraine non-responsive to pharmacological approaches and that co-occurring with depression is scanty. The comorbid condition predicts a poorer prognosis for migraine as well as depression. The present report assesses efficacy and tolerability of high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex as a treatment modality for migraine with comorbid depression. Methods The current retrospective chart review assesses effectiveness of high frequency rTMS over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex as a treatment modality to manage migraine occurring comorbid with depression in 14 subjects. Results The mean scores on Migraine Disability Assessment Test (MIDAS) and depression rating scale reduced significantly from 21.14±3.01 and 20.71±3.95 at baseline to 13.93±6.09 and 14.21±5.52 respectively, after rTMS. There was significant improvement in migraine frequency, severity and functional disability assessed using MIDAS scores (p<0.05) following high frequency rTMS compared to baseline. Conclusion There is a role of applying rTMS as a potential therapeutic modality in the integrated management of a distinct subgroup of migraine patients with comorbid depression.

Abstract
Migraine and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) are highly prevalent conditions that can lead to significant disability. These conditions are often comorbid, and several studies shed light on the underlying reasons for this comorbidity. The purpose of this review article is to have a closer look at the epidemiology, pathophysiology, genetic and environmental factors, temporal association, treatment options, and prognosis of patients suffering from both conditions, to allow a better understanding of what factors underlie this comorbidity. Studies show that patients with migraine are 2-4-times more likely to develop lifetime MDD, predominantly due to similar underlying pathophysiologic and genetic mechanisms. There appears to be a bidirectional temporal association between the two conditions, although longitudinal studies are needed to determine this more definitively. Quality-of-life and health-related outcomes are worse for patients that suffer from both conditions. Thus, a careful assessment of the patient with access to appropriate resources and follow-up is paramount. Future studies in genetics and brain imaging will be helpful in further elucidating the underlying mechanisms in these comorbid conditions, which will hopefully lead to better treatment options.

JAMA Psychiatry 2017; 74:729-739. [PMID: 28564681 PMCID: PMC5710252 DOI: 10.1001/jamapsychiatry.2017.0984] [Citation(s) in RCA: 183] [Impact Index Per Article: 26.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2016] [Accepted: 03/26/2017] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Importance The etiologic factors of late-life depression are still poorly understood. Recent evidence suggests that microvascular dysfunction is associated with depression, which may have implications for prevention and treatment. However, this association has not been systematically reviewed. Objective To examine the associations of peripheral and cerebral microvascular dysfunction with late-life depression. Data Sources A systematic literature search was conducted in MEDLINE and EMBASE for and longitudinal studies published since inception to October 16, 2016, that assessed the associations between microvascular dysfunction and depression. Study Selection Three independent researchers performed the study selection based on consensus. Inclusion criteria were a study population 40 years of age or older, a validated method of detecting depression, and validated measures of microvascular function. Data Extraction and Synthesis This systematic review and meta-analysis has been registered at PROSPERO (CRD42016049158) and is reported in accordance with the PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines. Data extraction was performed by an independent researcher. Main Outcomes and Measures The following 5 estimates of microvascular dysfunction were considered in participants with or without depression: plasma markers of endothelial function, albuminuria, measurements of skin and muscle microcirculation, retinal arteriolar and venular diameter, and markers for cerebral small vessel disease. Data are reported as pooled odds ratios (ORs) by use of the generic inverse variance method with the use of random-effects models. Results A total of 712 studies were identified; 48 were included in the meta-analysis, of which 8 described longitudinal data. Data from 43 600 participants, 9203 individuals with depression, and 72 441 person-years (mean follow-up, 3.7 years) were available. Higher levels of plasma endothelial biomarkers (soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1: OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.28-1.96), white matter hyperintensities (OR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.19-1.39), cerebral microbleeds (OR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.03-1.34), and cerebral (micro)infarctions (OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.21-1.39) were associated with depression. Among the studies available, no significant associations of albuminuria and retinal vessel diameters with depression were reported. Longitudinal data showed a significant association of white matter hyperintensities with incident depression (OR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.09-1.30). Conclusions and Relevance This meta-analysis shows that both the peripheral and cerebral forms of microvascular dysfunction are associated with higher odds of (incident) late-life depression. This finding may have clinical implications because microvascular dysfunction might provide a potential target for the prevention and treatment of depression.

Abstract
Background Migraine and major depressive disorder (commonly referred to as depression) are both common disorders with a significant impact on society. Studies in both clinical and community-based settings have demonstrated a strong relationship between migraine and depression. In addition to complicating the diagnosis, depression that is comorbid with migraine may lower treatment adherence, increase risk of medication overuse and is associated with migraine chronification, thus leading to higher direct and indirect costs and poorer health-related outcomes with increased disability. Aim The aim of this review is to summarise the current knowledge on the genetic epidemiology of migraine and depression and the possible biological mechanisms underlying their comorbidity. Methods We present a narrative review reporting on the current literature. Results and conclusions Epidemiological findings indicate that there is a bidirectional relationship between migraine and depression, with one disorder increasing the risk for the other and vice versa, suggesting shared biological mechanisms. Twin and family studies indicate that this bidirectional relationship can be explained, at least partly, by shared underlying genetically determined disease mechanisms. Although no genes have been robustly associated with the aetiology of both migraine and depression, genes from serotonergic, dopaminergic and GABAergic systems together with variants in the MTHFR and BDNF genes remain strong candidates.

Abstract
Low vitamin D status may be associated with depression. Few studies have examined vitamin D and depression in older adults living at northern latitudes. The present study cross-sectionally investigated serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) status and depression among 5006 community-dwelling older persons (66-96 years) living in Iceland (latitudes 64-66°N). Depressive symptoms were measured by the fifteen-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15). Current major depressive disorder was assessed according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV) criteria. Serum 25(OH)D was analysed using chemiluminescence immunoassay and categorised into three groups: deficient (<30 nmol/l); inadequate (30-49·9 nmol/l); and adequate (≥50 nmol/l). There were twenty-eight (2 %) men and fifty (1 %) women with current major depressive disorder. Mean GDS-15 scores for men and women with adequate vitamin D concentrations were 2·1 and 2·2, respectively. Men and women with deficient v. adequate vitamin D status had more depressive symptoms (higher GDS-15 scores) (difference 0·7 (95 % CI 0·4, 0·9) and 0·4 (95 % CI 0·1, 0·6), respectively). Furthermore, men with deficient vitamin D status were more likely to have current major depressive disorder (adjusted OR 2·51; 95 % CI 1·03, 6·13) compared with men with adequate vitamin D status. Associations among women were not significant. In this older population living at northern latitudes, deficient vitamin D status may be associated with depression. Further investigations are warranted to evaluate the pathways that may be associated with risk of depression among older adults.

Abstract
Objetivo O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a associação do sono, depressão e ansiedade em pacientes com migrânea. Métodos Cinquenta pacientes do sexo feminino, provenientes de um centro terciário de tratamento de cefaleias, com o diagnóstico de migrânea segundo os critérios da International Headache Society, foram incluídas neste estudo. As pacientes foram avaliadas com os seguintes instrumentos: Migraine Disability Assessment test (MIDAS), Headache Impact Test (HIT), Hospital Anxiety (HADS-A) and Depression Scale (HAD-D), Índice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh (IQSP) e Escala de Sonolência de Epworth (ESE). Resultados As pacientes apresentaram alta prevalência de sintomas de ansiedade (60%) e de depressão (42%), má qualidade do sono (80%) e sonolência diurna (36%). Foi demonstrada correlação positiva entre a gravidade dos sintomas de ansiedade e HIT (p = 0,018; ρ = 0,334), ESE (p = 0,002; ρ = 0,426) e IQSP (p = 0,002; ρ = 0,426). Correlação positiva também foi demonstrada entre a gravidade dos sintomas depressivos e HIT (p < 0,001; ρ = 0,532), ESE (p = 0,035; ρ = 0,299) e IQSP (p = 0,016, ρ = 0,34). Não houve associação entre a qualidade do sono, a sonolência diurna e a gravidade da migrânea. A pontuação na HAD-D foi o principal preditor de impacto grave da migrânea. Conclusão Apesar da alta frequência de distúrbios do sono, o principal fator relacionado ao impacto da migrânea foi a gravidade dos sintomas depressivos.

Abstract
Background No study has investigated the impacts of migraine on depression, anxiety, and somatic symptoms and remission at the two-year follow-up point among patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). This study aimed to investigate the above issues. Methods Psychiatric outpatients with MDD recruited at baseline were investigated at a two-year follow-up (N = 106). The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Depression and Somatic Symptoms Scale were used. Migraine was diagnosed according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd edition. The patients were divided into no migraine, inactive migraine, and active migraine subgroups. Multiple logistic regressions were used to investigate the significant factors related to full remission of depression. Results Among patients without pharmacotherapy at the follow-up, patients with active migraine had significantly greater severities of anxiety and somatic symptoms as compared with patients without migraine; moreover, patients with active migraine had the lowest improvement percentage and full remission rate. There were no significant differences in depression, anxiety, and somatic symptoms between patients with inactive migraine and those without migraine. Active headache at follow-up was a significant factor related to a lower full remission rate. Conclusions Active headache at follow-up was associated with a lower rate of full remission and more residual anxiety and somatic symptoms at follow-up among patients with migraine. Physicians should integrate a treatment plan for depression and migraine for the treatment of patients with MDD.

Abstract
Background Chronic migraine (CM) is a disabling neurologic condition that often evolves from episodic migraine. There has been mounting evidence on the volumetric changes detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique in migraineurs. These studies mainly focused on episodic migraine patients and less is known about the differences in CM patients. Method A total of 24 CM patients and 24 healthy control individuals (all females) were included in this study. All participants underwent neurological examination and MRI. High-resolution anatomical MRI images were processed with an automated segmentation method (FreeSurfer). White-matter abnormalities of the brain were also evaluated with the Age-Related White-Matter-Changes Scale. Results The volumes of the cerebellum and brainstem were found to be smaller in CM patients compared to healthy controls. White-matter abnormalities were also found in CM patients, specifically in the bilateral parieto-occipital areas. There was no correlation between the clinical variables and volume decrease in these regions. Conclusion CM patients showed significant volume differences in infratentorial areas and white-matter abnormalities in the posterior part of the brain. It is currently unclear whether the structural brain changes seen in migraine patients are the cause or the result of headaches. Longitudinal volumetric neuroimaging studies with larger groups, especially on the chronification of migraine, are needed to shed light on this topic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this report is to evaluate migraine, migraine characteristics, and underdiagnosis of migraine in a large population sample of Mexican women. METHODS Participants are part of a prospective cohort of Mexican teachers. Between 2011 and 2013, 77,855 participants completed a detailed questionnaire on headache characteristics. Migraine was defined according to criteria of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICDH-II). RESULTS We found lifetime migraine prevalence was 19%, prevalence peaked at 40-44 years (20.4%) and only 45.1% participants with migraine had a previous diagnosis of the disease. CONCLUSION Estimated lifetime prevalence of migraine was higher than previous reports in Latin America. Migraine may be underdiagnosed and undertreated in Mexico despite its considerable burden.

Abstract
Introduction Compared to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is usually associated with a more complex clinical picture and higher burden of care. Yet, few investigations have been performed on comorbidities and risk factors of DLB. Therefore, we aimed to compare clinical risk factors and comorbidity profile in DLB and AD patients using two nationwide registries. Methods This is a linkage study between the Swedish dementia registry (SveDem) and the Swedish National Patient Registry conducted on 634 subjects with DLB and 9161 individuals with AD registered during the years 2007–2012. Comorbidity profile has been coded according to the International Classification of Diseases version 10 (ICD 10) in addition to the date of each event. The main chapters of the ICD-10, the Charlson score of comorbidities and a selected number of neuropsychiatric diseases were compared between the DLB and AD groups. Comorbidity was registered before and after the dementia diagnosis. Results “Mental and behavioral disorders”, “diseases of the nervous system”, “diseases of the eye and adnexa”, diseases of the “circulatory”, “respiratory”, and “genitourinary” systems, “diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue” and “diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue” occurred more frequently in the DLB group after multivariate adjustment. Depression [adjusted OR = 2.12 (95%CI 1.49 to 3.03)] and migraine [adjusted OR = 3.65 (95%CI 1.48 to 9.0)] were more commonly recorded before the diagnosis of dementia in the DLB group. Following dementia diagnosis, ischemic stroke [adjusted OR = 1.89 (95%CI 1.21 to 2.96)] was more likely to happen among the DLB patients compared to the AD population. Conclusions Our study indicated a worse comorbidity profile in DLB patients with higher occurrence of depression, stroke and migraine compared with the AD group. Deeper knowledge about the underlying mechanisms of these associations is needed to explore possible reasons for the different pattern of comorbidity profile in DLB compared to AD and their prognostic significance.

J Affect Disord 2014; 155:288-94. [PMID: 24321200 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2013.11.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2013] [Revised: 11/18/2013] [Accepted: 11/18/2013] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our recent work indicated that low-expression of the anti-apoptotic protein B-cell/lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) mRNA was observed among untreated major depressive disorder (MDD) patients, and the subsequent altered level of Bcl-2 was found to be close to the antidepressant treatment outcome. The primary aim of this present study was to examine whether a particular gene, encoding Bcl-2 (BCL2) confers risk to MDD, and likewise to investigate whether this gene acts as an indicator of antidepressant treatment outcome. METHODS We enrolled 178 treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and 612 non-treatment-resistant depression (NTRD) patients as well as 725 healthy controls. In total, three selected tagging SNPs (tagSNPs) of BCL2 (rs2279115, rs1801018 and rs1564483) were genotyped to test for possible association. Using TaqMan relative quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), we analyzed leukocytic expression of BCL2 mRNA in 47 healthy subjects. RESULTS Of the three SNPs, we observed no significant differences in genotype and allele frequencies between the MDD and control groups as well as between the TRD and NTRD groups. However, we found a significant association between the rs2279115C allele and TRD in males (corrected P=0.048) but not in females. Further real-time quantitative PCR analysis in healthy subjects revealed that the rs2279115 polymorphism significantly influenced BCL2 mRNA expression (P=0.03). LIMITATIONS This is a preliminary investigation with relatively small sample size and cross-sectional design. CONCLUSIONS These initial findings strengthen the hypothesis that BCL2 may play an important role in mediating the outcome of antidepressant treatment, a result that may further be confirmed by future genetic studies from large-scale populations that can overcome the limited sample size of this preliminary finding.
