摘 要：AIM:To clarify whether the vasoconstrictory response is impaired and to study vascular function in patients with migraine during the headache ***:We studied vascular reactivity in the resistance arteries by using the forearm perfusion technique associated with *** measuredforearm blood flow by strain-gauge plethysmography during intra-brachial infusion of acetylcholine,sodium nitroprusside or norepinephrine in 11 controls and 13patients with migraine,11 of them(M) in the interval between the migraine attacks and 4 during a headache attack(MH).Written informed consent was obtained from patients and healthy controls,and the study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the University Federico Ⅱ.RESULTS:Compared to healthy control subjects,in patients with migraine studied during the interictal period,the vasodilating effect of acetylcholine,that acts through the stimulation of endothelial cells and the release of nitric oxide,was markedly reduced,but became normal during the headache attack(P0.05).CONCLUSION:In migrainers,the impaired relaxation of VSMCs is restored during the headache *** vasoconstrictory response is impaired and remains unchanged during the migraine attack.
