(192) The Impact of Stress and Sex on Sympathetic Regulation of Dural Vessel Tone

Migraine is a common, disruptive, and often debilitating neurological disorder that the World Health Organization classifies in the highest disability category. Migraine is up to three times more common in women than men. Attacks are commonly triggered by stress, and many migraineurs show signs of sympathetic dysregulation. While the vascular hypothesis for migraine has largely fallen from favor, there are still several lines of evidence to suggest that dysregulation of the dural vasculature may contribute to the initiation of a migraine attack.
