N2 - Objective: Migraine, a prevalent and debilitating disease, involves complex pathophysiology possibly including inflammation and heightened pain sensitivity. The current study utilized the complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) model of inflammation, with onabotulinumtoxinA (BoNT/A) as a treatment of interest due to its use in clinical migraine management. Using an animal model, the study sought to investigate the role of BoNT/A in modulating CFA-induced inflammation, alterations in pain sensitivity, and the regulation of calcitonin gene–related peptide (CGRP) release. Further, we aimed to assess the changes in SNAP-25 through western blot analysis to gain insights into the mechanistic action of BoNT/A. Methods: BoNT/A or control was administered subcutaneously at the periorbital region of rats 3 days before the induction of inflammation using CFA. Periorbital mechanical sensitivity was assessed post-inflammation, and alterations in CGRP release were evaluated. Changes in SNAP-25 levels were determined using western blot analysis. Results: Upon CFA-induced inflammation, there was a marked increase in periorbital mechanical sensitivity, with the inflammation side showing increased sensitivity compared to other periorbital areas. BoNT/A did decrease the withdrawal thresholds in the electronic von Frey test. Despite not being able to observe differences in pain thresholds or CGRP release, BoNT/A reduced baseline release under CFA inflamed conditions. Analysis of SNAP-25 levels in the trigeminal ganglion revealed both intact and cleaved forms that were notably elevated in BoNT/A-treated animals. These findings, derived from western blot analysis, suggest an effect on neurotransmitter release. Conclusion: Our investigation highlights the role of BoNT/A in reducing baseline CGRP in the context of inflammation and its involvement in SNAP-25 cleavage. In contrast, BoNT/A did not appear to alter facial pain sensitivity induced by inflammation, suggesting that mechanisms other than baseline CGRP could be implicated in the elevated thresholds in the CFA model.
