Parenchymal neuroinflammatory signaling and dural neurogenic inflammation in migraine

Abstract Background Pain is generally concomitant with an inflammatory reaction at the site where the nociceptive fibers are activated. Rodent studies suggest that a sterile meningeal inflammatory signaling cascade may play a role in migraine headache as well. Experimental studies also suggest that...
