Calcitonin gene-related peptide levels in tear fluid are elevated in migraine patients compared to healthy controls.

Authors

Abstract

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) released from trigeminal nerve fibres indicates trigeminal activation and has a key role in migraine pathophysiology. The trigeminal nerve directly innervates the eye. Therefore, in this study, we compared Calcitonin gene-related peptide in tear fluid of migraine patients and healthy controls.
