Abstract

Migraine has been associated with a dysfunctional activation of the trigeminovascular system. Calcitonin gene-related peptide, a neuropeptide released from the trigeminal nerve fibres, has an important role in the pathophysiology of migraine and is a current therapeutic target for migraine treatment.
