Abstract

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) dilates cranial arteries and triggers headache. The CGRP signaling pathway is partly dependent on activation of ATP-sensitive potassium (K ) channels. Here, we investigated the effect of the K channel blocker glibenclamide on CGRP-induced headache and vascular changes in healthy volunteers.
