Abstract

The causal relationship between experimental headache and vasodilatation has not been fully clarified. In the present study, we combined headache and vascular data from eight experimental studies and conducted detailed statistical analyses. Given that substances used in all these experiments were vasodilators we examined a possible correlation between headache scores and increases in arterial diameter.
