BACKGROUND: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a debilitating condition characterized by increased intracranial pressure often presenting with chronic migraine-like headache. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays an important pathophysiological role in primary headaches such as migraine, whilst its role in IIH has not yet been established.
METHODS: This longitudinal exploratory study included patients with IIH, episodic migraine (EM) in a headache-free interval and healthy controls (HC). Blood samples were collected from a cubital vein and plasma CGRP (pCGRP) levels were measured by standardized ELISA.
RESULTS: A total of 26 patients with IIH (mean age 33.2 years [SD 9.2], 88.5% female, median BMI 34.8 kg/m2 [IQR 30.0-41.4]), 30 patients with EM (mean age 27.6 years [7.5], 66.7% female) and 57 HC (mean age 25.3 years [5.2], 56.1% female) were included. pCGRP levels displayed a wide variation in IIH as well as in EM and HC on a group-level. Within IIH, those with migraine-like headache had significantly higher pCGRP levels than those with non-migraine-like headache (F(2,524) = 84.79; p < 0.001) and headache absence (F(2,524) = 84.79; p < 0.001) throughout the observation period, explaining 14.7% of the variance in pCGRP levels. CGRP measurements showed strong intraindividual agreement in IIH (ICC 0.993, 95% CI 0.987-0.996, p < 0.001). No association was found between pCGRP levels and ophthalmological parameters.
CONCLUSIONS: Although interindividual heterogeneity of pCGRP levels is generally high, migraine-like headache seems to be associated with higher pCGRP levels. CGRP may play a role in the headache pathophysiology at least in a subgroup of IIH.
