No Increase in Blood Pressure Assessed With the 24-h Holter Monitoring in Patients With Episodic Migraine During Early Treatment With Anti-CGRP Monoclonal Antibodies: A Prospective Observational Study (SAFHYPER).
Observational study in European journal of neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMigraine is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk, including hypertension. Anti-calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are effective preventive treatments, but concerns have been raised about their potential hypertensive effects. Herein, we assess the early changes in blood pressure (BP) during anti-CGRP mAbs treatment in patients with migraine using 24-h Holter monitoring.
methodsWe conducted a prospective, real-world study including 20 patients with episodic migraine (EM) during the early treatment with anti-CGRP mAbs. Participants underwent 24-h Holter BP monitoring before treatment and 4 weeks after the first injection. The primary outcome was the change in mean systolic BP (SBP). Secondary outcomes included changes in diastolic BP (DBP), differential BP, diurnal/nocturnal values, heart rate (HR), and dipping patterns.
resultsMean 24-h SBP and DBP showed non-significant differences after treatment (-2.4 mmHg and -1.8 mmHg, p = 0.075). No significant changes were observed in diurnal BP, but a significant reduction in nocturnal DBP was detected (-2.6 mmHg, p = 0.026). Consistently, the proportion of patients with a physiological dipping profile increased from 45.0% to 85.0% post-treatment (p = 0.008). HR remained unchanged, and no patients had mean PAD ≥ 130/80. No adverse events were reported.
conclusionAnti-CGRP mAbs did not induce clinically relevant BP increases in the early treatment phase and were associated with improved nocturnal DBP and a favorable shift in dipping profile in patients with EM. These findings suggest the short-term cardiovascular safety of anti-CGRP mAbs, though further studies with larger cohorts and longer follow-up are warranted.
