Registration Number
NCT04231617
Lead Sponsor
Danish Headache Center
Brief Summary

To investigate the hemodynamic effects of CGRP after glibenclamide administration.

Detailed Description

20 healthy participants will randomly be allocated to receive CGRP infusion followed by glibenclamide or placebo on two different days.

The aim of the study is to investigate the vascular effect of CGRP after glibenclamide administration.

Repeated measurements covering the arteria radialis (RA), superficiel temporal artery (STA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) before and after glibenclamide/placebo administration and CGRP infusion.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in the arterial radialis (RA), superficiel temporal artery (STA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA)Time of measurements is baseline and repeatedly every 20 min for 240 min.

Repeated measurements covering the diameter of RA , STA and MCA before and after glibenclamide/placebo administration and CGRP infusion measured by centimeter (cm)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
HeadacheTime of headache measurements is from before (-20 min) and after (12 hours) glibenclamide/placebo administration.

Headache intensity will be recorded by numerical rating scale (NRS) from 0 to 10 (0, no headache; 1, a feeling of pressure; 10, worst imaginable headache).
