Overview

Andrew M. Strassman is affiliated with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on the medical field, specifically intersecting areas such as psychiatry and mental health, neurology, pathology and forensic medicine, physiology, and endocrine and autonomic systems.

The scientist's work covers a range of topics including migraine and headache studies, trigeminal neuralgia and treatments, botulinum toxin and related neurological disorders, sympathectomy and hyperhidrosis treatments, pain mechanisms and treatments, neuroscience of respiration and sleep, and neurological disorders and treatments.

Strassman has contributed extensively to research on migraine mechanisms and trigeminovascular system pathology. Notable recent papers include:

  • Atogepant - an orally-administered CGRP antagonist - attenuates activation of meningeal nociceptors by CSD, 2022, Cephalalgia
  • Combined onabotulinumtoxinA/atogepant treatment blocks activation/sensitization of high-threshold and wide-dynamic range neurons, 2020, Cephalalgia
  • Novel insight into atogepant mechanisms of action in migraine prevention, 2024, Brain
  • Activation of Peripheral and Central Trigeminovascular Neurons by Seizure: Implications for Ictal and Postictal Headache, 2020, Journal of Neuroscience
  • Exploring the effects of extracranial injections of botulinum toxin type A on activation and sensitization of central trigeminovascular neurons by cortical spreading depression in male and female rats, 2024, Cephalalgia

Frequent coauthors include Rami Burstein, Agustin Melo-Carrillo, Mitchell F. Brin, Aubrey Manack Adams, and Aaron Schain, indicating ongoing collaborative efforts in neurological and migraine-related research.

Strassman's work is often published in specialized venues that include Cephalalgia, Brain, Neurology, Journal of Neuroscience, and Pain, reflecting a consistent contribution to journals focused on neuroscience and headache disorders.
