Experimental Headache Models

This text presents in-depth coverage of all the experimental models of headache disorders presently being used or developed. It covers all aspects of this valuable research area, including guidelines for the general use of models in drug development; models currently being used for the screening of novel pharmacological compunds in migraine, tension-type and cluster headache research; in vivo animal models for the study of vascular, myogenic and other headache mechanisms; models for studies of cerebrovascular pain pathways and the neurobiological basis for pain, with special attention to pain from the viscera; headache models in humans following nitrogylcerin or histamine administration; and possible future directions for experimental research.
