The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) limits transportation to the brain of possible treatment moieties. Specific stimulation of the brain through olfactory and trigeminal neural pathways by BBB has been taken into consideration for the development of a wide spectrum of brain therapeutics. The intranasal delivery path delivers the drugs through the brain, eliminating any side effects and increasing neurotherapeutics performance. Diverse drug delivery systems (DDDss) for reaching the brain via the nasal route have been researched over the past few decades. Large-scale molecular biologics, such as Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), gene vectors, and stem cells, can be administered intranasally, as a method for the management of a range of CNS illnesses, including stroke, Parkinson's diseases, multiple sclerosis, Migraine, Alzheimer's diseases, epilepsy, and mental disorders. New DDSs, including nanoparticles, liposomes, and polymeric micelles, have acquired potentials in the nasal mucosa and central nervous system (CNS), as effective means of concentrating the brain without toxicity. Differential nasal cavity structures posed a significant obstacle in ineffective drugs beyond the nasal valve. Pharmaceutical firms have increasingly used emerging techniques for the production of new nasal pharmaceutical drugs to overcome these obstacles. This review aims to identify the new advances in the nasal administration of brain-based DDSs for Migraines.
