Abstract
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a key molecule in migraine pathogenesis. Intravenous CGRP triggers migraine-like attacks in patients with migraine with aura and without aura. In contrast, patients with familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) with known mutations did not report more migraine-like attacks compared to controls. Whether CGRP triggers migraine-like attacks in FHM patients without known mutations is unknown.
