Abstract

Mechanisms for how environmental chemicals might influence pain has received little attention. Epidemiological studies suggest that environmental factors such as pollutants might play a role in migraine prevalence. Potential targets for pollutants are the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) and vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), which on activation release pain-inducing neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP).
