ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Migraine and vestibular migraine are disorders associated with a heightened motion sensitivity that provoke symptoms of motion-induced nausea and motion sickness. VM affects â¼3% of adults in the USA and affects three-fold more women than men. Triptans (selective serotonin receptor agonists) relieve migraine pain but lack efficacy for vertigo. Murine models of photophobia and allodynia have used injections of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) or other migraine triggers, such as sodium nitroprusside (SNP), to induce migraine sensitivities in mice to touch and light. Yet, there is limited research on whether these triggers affect motion-induced nausea in mice, and whether migraine blockers can reduce these migraine symptoms. We hypothesized that systemic delivery of CGRP or SNP will increase motion sickness susceptibility and motion-induced nausea in mouse models, and that migraine blockers can block these changes induced by systemically delivered CGRP or SNP.METHODS:
We investigated two measures of motion sickness assessment [motion sickness index (MSI) scoring and motion-induced thermoregulation] after intraperitoneal injections of either CGRP or SNP in C57BL/6J mice. The drugs olcegepant, sumatriptan and rizatriptan were used to assess the efficacy of migraine blockers.RESULTS:
MSI measures were confounded by CGRP's effect on gastric distress. However, analysis of tail vasodilatations as a surrogate for motion-induced nausea was robust for both migraine triggers. Only olcegepant treatment rescued tail vasodilatations.CONCLUSIONS:
These preclinical findings support the use of small molecule CGRP receptor antagonists for the treatment of motion-induced nausea of migraine, and show that triptan therapeutics are ineffective against motion-induced nausea of migraine.Trial Registration Not Applicable.Palavras-chave
