Abstract: Embodiments are directed to compositions and methods of treating migraine and related neurological disorders. In certain aspects, methods and compositions are for reducing cortical spreading depression and/or suppressing the neurochemical basis for chronic and acute migraine events, and provide methods and pharmaceutical compositions related to both acute and preventive therapies for migraine events and related headaches.

Abstract: The current disclosure address a need in the art by providing methods and compositions for treating migraines and certain pain-related disorders with a combination therapy. Accordingly, aspects of the disclosure relate to a method for treating a migraine, post-traumatic headache, or chronic pain syndrome patient, the method comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of an insulin growth factor receptor (IGFR) activator and a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) inhibitor. Further aspects relate to a composition comprising insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and a CGRP inhibitor. Also provided are methods for treating fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome in a patient, the method comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of an insulin growth factor receptor (IGFR) activator.
