{{Short description|Type of inflammation}}

{{Technical|date=April 2024}}

Neurogenic inflammation is inflammation arising from the local release by afferent neurons of inflammatory mediators such as substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), neurokinin A (NKA), and endothelin-3 (ET-3).{{cite journal | vauthors = Peroutka SJ | title = Neurogenic inflammation and migraine: implications for the therapeutics | journal = Mol.

Prevention

Magnesium deficiency causes neurogenic inflammation in a rat model. Researchers have theorized that since substance P which appears at day five of induced magnesium deficiency, is known to stimulate in turn the production of other inflammatory cytokines including IL-1, Interleukin 6 (IL-6), and TNF-alpha (TNFα), which begin a sharp rise at day 12, substance P is a key in the path from magnesium deficiency to the subsequent cascade of neuro-inflammation.{{cite journal | vauthors = Weglicki WB, Phillips TM | title = Pathobiology of magnesium deficiency: a cytokine/neurogenic inflammation hypothesis | journal = Am. J. Physiol. | volume = 263 | issue = 3 Pt 2 | pages = R734–7 | date = September 1992 | pmid = 1384353 | doi = 10.1152/ajpregu.1992.263.3.R734 }} In a later study, researchers provided rats dietary levels of magnesium that were reduced but still within the range of dietary intake found in the human population, and observed an increase in substance P, TNF alpha (TNFα) and Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), followed by exacerbated bone loss. These and other data suggest that deficient dietary magnesium intake, even at levels not uncommon in humans, may trigger neurogenic inflammation and lead to an increased risk of osteoporosis.{{cite journal | vauthors = Rude RK, Singer FR, Gruber HE | title = Skeletal and hormonal effects of magnesium deficiency | journal = J Am Coll Nutr | volume = 28 | issue = 2 | pages = 131–41 | date = April 2009 | pmid = 19828898 | doi = 10.1080/07315724.2009.10719764 | s2cid = 43556609 }}

Treatment

In 2018, three CGRP blockers were approved by the FDA for the prevention of migraine: erenumab; fremanezumab; and galcanezumab.

:The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a therapeutic target in migraine because of its hypothesized role in mediating trigeminovascular pain transmission and the vasodilatory component of neurogenic inflammation (see "Pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and diagnosis of migraine in adults", section on 'Role of calcitonin gene-related peptide'). In 2018, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the CGRP antagonists erenumab [36], fremanezumab [37], and galcanezumab [38] for migraine prevention.

Noting that botulinum toxin has been shown to have an effect on inhibiting neurogenic inflammation, and evidence suggesting the role of neurogenic inflammation in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, the University of Minnesota has a pilot clinical trial underway to follow up on the observation that patients treated with botulinum toxin for dystonia had dramatic improvement in psoriasis.{{ClinicalTrialsGov|NCT00816517|Use of Botulinum Toxin to Treat Psoriasis}}
