Abstrakt: | Background: Migraine is often associated with depression and anxiety, leading to a diminished quality of life. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antagonists have shown promise in treating migraines, but their effects on concurrent depression and anxiety have not been clarified. Methods: A literature review was conducted on ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, Ovid Medline, and EMBASE focusing on phase 3 clinical trials, post-hoc analysis studies, and real-world evidence (RWE) published in the past 5 years. The review primarily utilized patient-reported outcome tools, such as the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Beck Depression Inventory-II, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)-7, and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), to assess anxiety and depression in relation to CGRP-targeted monoclonal antibodies. Results: Out of 260 studies, 17 met the inclusion criteria. Eptinezumab lacked sufficient evidence regarding its impact on depression and anxiety. While sufficient evidence on its effect on comorbid anxiety was not available, fremanezumab was shown to significantly improve comorbid depression in one study while not achieving statistical significance in another. Erenumab and galcanezumab showed significant improvement in comorbid depression, implying possible benefits in patients with migraine. Galcanezumab showed faster relief from depressive symptoms than other injectable CGRP antagonists. Galcanezumab also exhibited improvements in GAD-7 scores for anxiety, although not statistically significant, whereas RWE showed promising HARS scores for both galcanezumab and erenumab. Conclusions: Galcanezumab and erenumab appear to be more effective in improving concurrent depressive and anxiety symptoms in migraine patients than fremanezumab. Notably, these psychometric questionnaires were not the primary outcome measures of the trials and were not specifically designed to investigate the effects of these medications on depression or anxiety. Further research is needed to fully understand the impact of CGRP antagonists on mental health disorders associated with migraines. These findings have implications for enhancing the overall well-being and quality of life in individuals with migraines and comorbid psychiatric conditions.
