Resumo: Chronic migraine is caused by chemical changes in the brain, unilateral, pulsating pain of varying intensity. The administration of botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum, is an alternative treatment. There are different preparations of botulinum toxin, capable of inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, promoting muscle relaxation. The aim of the study was to analyze the therapeutic efficacy of botulinum toxin in the treatment of chronic migraine. A systematic review was carried out using the Main Items to Report Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses method as a supporting tool, using as descriptors: chronic migraine, botulinum toxin and treatment. Twenty-one articles were analyzed, of which 6 were meta-analyses and 15 were clinical trials, 9 clinical trials were compared to placebo and 6 to other therapies. The trials used a range of doses from 75 to 260 IU, and included patients with episodic and chronic migraine, in which the toxin was most effective. The toxin also had a good safety profile, with few adverse effects reported, which were generally mild or moderate. The study concluded that controlled clinical trials indicate that botulinum toxin type A was effective in treating chronic migraine. In comparison with the other drugs, it showed similar efficacy and a superior tolerability profile.

A administração da toxina botulínica, neurotoxina produzida pelo Clostridium botulinum, é uma alternativa de tratamento. Existem diferentes preparações da toxina botulínica, capaz de inibir a liberação de acetilcolina, provocando uma inibição da contração muscular. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a eficácia terapêutica da toxina botulínica no tratamento da enxaqueca crônica. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática utilizando como ferramenta embasadora o método de Principais Itens para Relatar Revisões Sistemáticas e Meta-Análises, utilizando como descritores: enxaqueca crônica, toxina botulínica e tratamento. Foram analisados 21 artigos, sendo 6 metas-analises e 15 ensaios clínicos, 9 ensaios clínicos foram comparados a placebo e 6 a outras terapias. Os ensaios utilizaram uma variedade de doses de 75 até 260 UI, e incluíram pacientes com enxaqueca episódica e crônica, na qual a toxina mostrou maior eficácia. A toxina apresentou também um perfil bom de segurança, sendo relatados poucos efeitos adversos, que em geral foram leves ou moderados. O estudo concluiu que ensaios clínicos controlados indicam que a toxina botulínica tipo A foi eficaz no tratamento da enxaqueca crônica. Na comparação com os demais medicamentos demostrou eficácia semelhante perfil de tolerabilidade superior. HCPA/FAMED/UFRGS2023-09-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Systematic Reviewapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/hcpa/article/view/125718Clinical & Biomedical Research; Vol. 43 No. 2 (2023): Clinical and Biomedical ResearchClinical and Biomedical Research; v. 43 n. 2 (2023): Clinical and Biomedical Research2357-9730reponame:Clinical and Biomedical Researchinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/hcpa/article/view/125718/89708Copyright (c) 2023 Andriele do Prado Mello, Laura Vicedo Jacociunashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMello, Andriele do PradoJacociunas, Laura Vicedo2024-01-19T14:11:21Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/125718Revistahttps://www.seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/hcpaPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/hcpa/oai||cbr@hcpa.edu.br2357-97302357-9730opendoar:2024-01-19T14:11:21Clinical and Biomedical Research - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
