The human NTG model of migraine in drug discovery and development.
Authors
Pellesi LAbstract
Various triggers can originate a migraine attack. In healthy volunteers and patients with migraine, the nitroglycerin (NTG) provocation model induces a headache that resembles migraine in pain characteristics and vascular manifestations. This headache is reversible and treatable in monitored conditions, providing an opportunity to test novel antimigraine medications in early clinical development.
