Summary
Adenosine is a nucleoside that plays a role in both vascular and nociceptive systems, and it
has been proposed that adenosine may cause headache in particularly sensitive subjects.
Thus, considerable evidence implied that adenosine plays a role in migraine pathophysiology,
it is still unknown if intravenous adenosine infusion provokes migraine attacks in healthy
subject or in migraine patients. Furthermore, adenosine's effects on the cerebral hemodynamic
remains unknown.
This study aims to clarify a possible coherence between adenosine and headache/migraine. In
general, the study will contribute to a greater understanding of migraine pathogenesis and
possibly lead to development of specific migraine treatment.
