Soon a new method to fight once morest migraine? Produced by the American pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, a nasal spray treatment has shown positive effects once morest pain and other symptoms, according to a study published Thursday. This molecule, baptized zavegepant, “has proven to be effective in the temporary treatment of migraine” with few side effects, summarizes this study published in the Lancet Neurologyone of the leading neurology journals.

The treatment, which has the particularity of being administered by nasal spray and not orally, has been blindly tested once morest a placebo in several hundred patients. It proved to be significantly more effective in reducing pain and, to a lesser extent, the symptoms considered the most disabling by the migraine sufferers examined. Migraine is not just regarding headaches, headaches. It is often accompanied by other symptoms such as visual disturbances or intolerance to light.

New tests needed

These favorable results validate a priori an important strategic choice of Pfizer. The American giant had bought, a year ago, for more than ten billion dollars, Biohaven, the company which develops zavegepant as well as other migraine treatments. “Further trials will be needed to confirm that (zavegepant) is safe over the long term and that it remains effective from one access to another,” however, warn the researchers.

Moreover, this trial only looked at the molecule’s effectiveness in calming a migraine attack. However, Pfizer also intends to make it a basic preventive treatment. The drug is already the subject of a request for approval from the American health authorities, the FDA. On the other hand, there is no procedure in progress in the European Union (EU). If approved by the FDA, zavegepant might offer a significant new treatment option for migraine sufferers, particularly those who want rapid relief or those for whom an alternative method of administration is desirable. James Rusnak, a Pfizer executive, in a statement.

Nasal spray treatments tend, in fact, to sometimes work better once morest migraine than those taken by mouth. They also have the advantage of escaping the nausea and vomiting that can accompany certain migraines.

What kind of cancer you sang affects plasma cells which are cells of the immune system. These white blood cells are found in large numbers in the bone marrow.

Sue Bennett, a 68-year-old English patient, suffered from myeloma. Now in remission, she testifies in the British press and warns once morest symptoms who should have alerted him. She had notably observed an impressive weight loss several months before her diagnosis.

Myeloma: this blood cancer is incurable

“I had lost multiple dress sizes and a friend who hadn’t seen me for a few weeks was so shocked she told me I had to go to the doctor,” recalls Sue Bennett.

After several exams, the latter was diagnosed with blood cancer, supposedly incurable. The doctors explained to her that she was terminally ill.

“I might read on the caregiver’s face that this was not good news. When he said there was no cure, I thought I was doomed.”

Fortunately, if myeloma is incurable, treatments can control it and live with it. After one chemotherapy and an stem cell transplantSue Bennett has now been in remission for nearly nine years.

She underwent six rounds of chemotherapy, steroids and targeted therapies, as well as a stem cell transplant a year following her diagnosis.

If these symptoms did not seem obvious at first glance, the patient now believes that certain clues should have given him a hint. Medisite reviews them.
