Objective. To evaluate the blink reflex (BR) in chronic cluster headache (CH) patients. Design. The elecrophysiological data were collected in during the headache-free phase. Setting. Headache patients were r...
Patients with migraine, without aura (MO), either during or between attacks, present elevated histamine levels in platelet-poor plasma but normal whole blood histamine levels, compared with controls. This fin...
Cortical hyperexcitability in migraine has been suggested to play a pivotal role in triggering migraine attacks, possibly via generation of spreading depression. Low levels of plasma, intracellular and brain ...
Using BOLD-fMRI we have previously documented activation of the red nucleus (RN) and substantia nigra (SN) during spontaneously and visually activated migraine headache. These observations prompted us to stud...
Although chronic daily headache (CDH) represents one of the most relevant complaints of patients in headache centers, the mechanisms underlying the chronicization of head pain are poorly understood. Experimen...
