Abstract
This Review's objective is
to provide a high-level, concise summary of migraine diagnosis, therapy, and
management. One common neurological condition that has a major impact on
people's lives and healthcare systems is migraine. Low drug solubility,
restricted bioavailability, and systemic administration side effects are common
problems with conventional migraine treatment methods. A novel drug delivery
technology known as nanostructured lipid carriers, or NLCs, has emerged as a
viable way to get around these restrictions.
The present status of research
on the use of NLCs in the treatment of migraines is examined in detail in this thorough
review. The review includes an examination of NLCs' special qualities, their
potential advantages in drug delivery, and how they can be used to enhance the pharmacokinetics and therapeutic results
of migraine treatments. The main points are covered in detail, including
enhanced drug solubility, targeted drug delivery, extended- release kinetics, and decreased side effects.
The review also points out current roadblocks and potential future paths in the creation of NLC-based migraine
therapy formulations. The goal of this
synthesis of the available data is to offer insightful guidance to researchers, physicians, and
pharmaceutical companies looking for novel approaches to improve the
effectiveness of treatments for migraine.
