Perifere projecties van het trigeminovasculaire systeem als antimigraine doelwit
Background: The exact mechanisms underlying the onset of a migraine attack are not
completely understood. It is, however, now well accepted that the onset of the excruciating
headache of migraine is mediated by the activation and increased mechanosensitivity
(i.e. sensitization) of trigeminal nociceptive afferents that innervate the cranial meninges
and their related large blood vessels.
Objective: To provide a critical summary of current understanding of the role that the cranial
meninges, their associated vasculature, and immune cells play in meningeal nociception
and the ensuing migraine headache.
Methods: We discuss the anatomy of the cranial meninges, their associated vasculature,
innervation and immune cell population. We then debate the meningeal neurogenic
inflammation hypothesis of migraine and its putative contribution to migraine pain. Finally,
we provide insights into potential sources of meningeal inflammation and nociception
beyond neurogenic inflammation and their potential contribution to migraine headache.
