Description
Summary:Objective(s): Migraine, a serious neurological disease that affects millions of people worldwide, is one of the most considerable burdens on the healthcare system and has significant economic implications. Even though various treatment methods are available, including medication, lifestyle changes, and behavioral therapy, many migraine sufferers do not receive adequate relief or experience intolerable side effects. Hence, the present review aims to evaluate the nanoformulation regarding migraine therapy.Materials and Methods: Between 2005 and 2024, specific keywords were used to search several databases, such as Pubmed, Google Scholar, and Scopus. Results: The nanoformulation field is an increasing field within nanotechnology that offers new solutions for treating migraine, including improving drug delivery, increasing therapeutic efficacy, and minimizing side effects. By combining nanoscale materials with therapeutic agents, nanoformulations can enhance bioavailability, sustain drug release, deliver targeted drugs, and penetrate the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) more efficiently. Nanoformulation has the potential to be a useful tool for migraine therapy. However, several challenges still need to be overcome, such as the BBB penetration, safety and biocompatibility of the product, manufacturing, and scalability reproducibility to pass regulatory approval and affordability. To overcome these challenges, research efforts should be focused on developing innovative techniques to penetrate the BBB, target specific migraine pathways, incorporate personalized medicine approaches, and develop nanotechnology-based diagnostics.Conclusion: A nanotechnology-based approach aims to revolutionize migraine therapy, improving patient outcomes and living standards by offering personalized and precise treatments.
