Migraine with aura study using CGRP to trigger attacks
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a substance called CGRP (a protein linked to migraines) can safely trigger a migraine with aura in people who already have this condition. You'll receive an infusion and be monitored to see how your body responds.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
