  Purpose

The hypothesis of this study is that Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) induces headache and dilatation of brain vessels in migraine patients without aura.

Further study details as provided by Danish Headache Center:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Headache score on a 10-point verbal rating scale (VRS). [ Time Frame: 24 h ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Incidence of headache 0 indicated no headache; 1 indicated a different sensation, pounding or throbbing, but not necessarily painful; 5 indicated moderate headache and 10 indicated worst imaginable headache.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery (VMCA) measured by a Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography (2MHz). [ Time Frame: 90 min ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Changes from base line recorded every 10th min. until time 90 min on day 1 and day 2. The infusion takes 25 min from time 0.

  • Diameter of superficial temporal artery and radial artery measured by a high resolution ultrasound scanner, C-scan. [ Time Frame: 90 min ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Changes from base line recorded every 10th min. until time 90 min on day 1 and day 2. The infusion takes 25 min from time 0.

  • Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP). [ Time Frame: 90 min ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Changes from base line recorded every 10th min. until time 90 min on day 1 and day 2. The infusion takes 25 min from time 0.

  • Electrocardiography (ECG). [ Time Frame: 90 min ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Changes from base line recorded every 10th min. until time 90 min on day 1 and day 2. The infusion takes 25 min from time 0.

  • Heart rate (HR). [ Time Frame: 90 min ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Changes from base line recorded every 10th min. until time 90 min on day 1 and day 2. The infusion takes 25 min from time 0.

  • End-tidal partial pressure of pCO2 (PetCO2). [ Time Frame: 90 min ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Changes from base line recorded every 10th min. until time 90 min on day 1 and day 2. The infusion takes 25 min from time 0.

  • Transcutaneous arterial oxygen saturation (SAT) [ Time Frame: 90 min ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Changes from base line recorded every 10th min. until time 90 min on day 1 and day 2. The infusion takes 25 min from time 0.
