Abstract
SYNOPSISBilateral blood volume pulse (BVP) recordings from the frontotemporal artery were obtained from a migraineur and eight non‐migraineurs prior to and following the presentation of a novel laboratory stressor ‐ the consumption of ice water. The results revealed a markedly different pattern of BVP activity in the migraineur compared to the non‐migraineurs. The implications of these findings for assessing the disregulation of the vasomotor response system are noted. In addition, the novel stressor used in this study may be used for inducing migraine attacks in controlled laboratory environment.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
