🌟Welcome to #NeuroEtymology!🧠Join me on an exciting linguistic quest through the fascinating world of neuroscience words. 🔍 Unveiling their origins, decoding their meanings, and unraveling the stories behind them. 💡🔬#BrainWords
7/n PROGRESS TRIAL- Atogepant was effective in participants with chronic migraine, with and w/o acute medication overuse, as evidenced by reductions in mean monthly migraine days, monthly headache days, acute medication use days and improvements in patient-reported outcome.

MIGRAINE
🌟 The term "migraine" derives from the Middle French word "migrainne," which itself comes from the Latin "hemicrania."
6/n ⏳Clinical Trial Time⌛
STRIVE TRIAL-Erenumab administered subcutaneously at a monthly dose of 70 mg or 140 mg significantly reduced migraine frequency, the effects of migraines on daily activities, and the use of acute migraine–specific medication over a period of 6 months.
This recap episode was such a blast to record. Loved taking a trip down memory lane with @BlakeBuletko to discuss all the incredible episodes + guest speakers we had on @NeurophiliaPod. The recap is a great way to conclude the season if you have been following along…

From Guest Neurd Idha Sood @JoyfulAstrocyte & @NeuroEtymology:
"Amaurosis Fugax:
🌟 "Fugax" unfolds its meaning: escape. Amaurosis Fugax, a term rich in significance, encapsulates the notion of fleeting visual impairment, where vision 'escapes' temporarily.
⏳Clinical Trial Time⌛️
North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial NASCET & European Carotid Surgery Trial (ECST) highlight the importance of intervention. Endarterectomy in symptomatic patients with >70% carotid stenosis significantly reduces future stroke risks!

🌟Clinical Insight💡
👀Picture sudden, monocular vision loss lasting 2 to 30 minutes. Described as a "curtain coming down," it adds a visual layer to the term. These episodes spontaneously resolve, marking the transient nature of this condition.
