Wolff Award 2016
•   I should note that this year there was no Wolff Award given. To quote directly from the
    journal’s website “The Harold G. Wolff Award is granted annually by the American
    Headache Society for the best paper on headache, head or face pain and the nature of
    pain itself. The recipient is invited to present the paper at the Society’s annual meeting,
    which is then subsequently published in Headache. For more information on the Wolff
    Award please visit www.AmericanHeadacheSociety.org.”
•   There is a $10,000 award given as well.
Member’s Choice Award
•   This award is chosen from a list of 5 articles which I select (and those 5 cannot include
    the Wolff Award nor articles which I have commissioned). The members are then
    allowed to vote which results in the selection of their favorite article.

•   Conclusions
•   Asthma is associated with an increased risk of new onset CM 1 year later among
    individuals with EM, with the highest risk being among those with the greatest number
    of respiratory symptoms. The exact mechanisms underlying this association are
    unknown, but could suggest mast cell degranulation, autonomic dysfunction, or shared
    genetic or environmental factors.

Stimulation, a Comprehensive Review, Part II.
Headache 2016; 56(2): 259-266.
•   Abstract
•   The development of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) began in the 19th century. Although
    it did not work well initially, it introduced the idea that led to many VNS-related animal
    studies for seizure control. In the 1990s, with the success of several early clinical trials,
    VNS was approved for the treatment of refractory epilepsy, and later for the refractory
    depression. To date, several novel electrical stimulating devices are being developed.
    New invasive devices are designed to automate the seizure control and for use in heart
    failure. Non-invasive transcutaneous devices, which stimulate auricular VN or carotid
    VN, are also undergoing clinical trials for treatment of epilepsy, pain, headache, and
    others. Noninvasive VNS (nVNS) exhibits greater safety profiles and seems similarly
    effective to their invasive counterpart. In this review, we discuss the history and
    development of VNS, as well as recent progress in invasive and nVNS.

    and Migraine: A Systematic Review. Headache 2016;
    56(4): 622-644.

•   Migraine is comorbid with obesity. Recent research suggests an association between
    migraine and adipocytokines, proteins that are predominantly secreted from adipose tissue
    and which participate in energy homeostasis and inflammatory processes.
•   Conclusions
•   While the existing data are suggestive that adipokines may be associated with migraine,
    substantial study design differences and conflicting results limit definitive conclusions.
    Future research utilizing carefully considered designs and methodology is warranted. In
    particular careful and systematic characterization of pain states at the time of samples, as
    well as systematic consideration of demographic (eg, age, sex) and other vital covariates (eg,
    obesity status, lipids) are needed to determine if adipokines play a role in migraine
    pathophysiology and if any adipokine represents a viable, novel migraine biomarker, or drug
    target.

•   Recommendations
•   Intravenous metoclopramide and prochlorperazine, and subcutaneous sumatriptan
    should be offered to eligible adults who present to an ED with acute migraine (Should
    offer—Level B). Dexamethasone should be offered to these patients to prevent
    recurrence of headache (Should offer—Level B). Because of lack of evidence
    demonstrating efficacy and concern about sub-acute or long-term sequelae, injectable
    morphine and hydromorphone are best avoided as first-line therapy (May avoid–Level
    C).

•   Robbins MS, Starling AJ, Pringsheim TM et al. Treatment of Cluster Headache: The American Headache
    Society Evidence-Based Guidelines. Headache 2016; 56(7): 1093-1106
•   Results and Recommendations
•   For acute treatment, sumatriptan subcutaneous, zolmitriptan nasal spray, and high flow oxygen remain
    the treatments with a Level A recommendation. Since the 2010 review, a study of sphenopalatine
    ganglion stimulation was added to the current guideline and has been administered a Level B
    recommendation for acute treatment. For prophylactic therapy, previously there were no treatments
    that were administered a Level A recommendation. For the current guidelines, suboccipital steroid
    injections have emerged as the only treatment to receive a Level A recommendation with the addition
    of a second Class I study. Other newly evaluated treatments since the 2010 guidelines have been given
    a Level B recommendation (negative study: deep brain stimulation), a Level C recommendation
    (positive study: warfarin; negative studies: cimetidine/chlorpheniramine, candesartan), or a Level U
    recommendation (frovatriptan).
•   Conclusions
•   This AHS guideline can be utilized for understanding which therapies have superiority to placebo or
    sham treatment in the management of CH. In clinical practice, these recommendations should be
    considered in concert with other variables including safety, side effects, patient preferences, clinician
    experience, cost, and the invasiveness of the intervention. Given the lack of Class I evidence and Level
    A recommendations, particularly for a number of commonly used preventive therapies, further studies
    are warranted to demonstrate safety and efficacy for established and emerging therapies.
