The Potential Role of Glutamate Receptors and their Antagonists or Modulators in Migraine Therapy.
Review in Current neuropharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundGlutamate is implicated in playing a crucial role in modulating the complex pathophysiological mechanisms of migraines, including central or peripheral sensitization, cortical spreading depression, and pain transmission. With expanding knowledge over the last three decades, glutamate receptors have become focal points in neurological drug research. Altered plasma glutamate levels during migraines suggest a potential avenue for effective therapies targeting glutamate reduction. Furthermore, glutamate is believed to play a vital role in modulating the complex pathophysiological mechanisms underlying migraines.
objectiveThis study aims to provide an overview of the ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonists (NMDA, AMPA, and Kainate receptors) and metabotropic glutamate receptors in the context of migraines. We explore the advantages and disadvantages of these receptor modulators as alternative treatments, considering efficacy, tolerability, and safety.
methodsWe conducted comprehensive online searches across various electronic databases, with a primary focus on PubMed and clinicaltrials.gov, to gather the latest treatment approaches and emerging concepts.
resultsA total of 371 articles were identified from PubMed, along with 69 articles from clinicaltrials. gov. After refinement, 113 articles were included. We summarize seven different medications currently in clinical practice for migraines and highlight six items for migraine therapy in preclinical trials and their potential value.
conclusionIt's crucial to note that these agents pose certain challenges in specific drug research due to their intricate influence and mechanisms of action within multiple neuronal pathways. Therefore, further studies are warranted to elucidate more specific glutamatergic signaling pathways for migraine therapy while minimizing interference with normal neuronal functions.
