To assess CGRP levels in saliva through the evolution of migraine.
The release of CGRP is assumed to be initiated early in the migraine process and increases as the headache intensifies. Levels of CGRP will be measured during the premonitory, mild, moderate, and severe phases of a single migraine attack and compared to the baseline value determined when the subject was headache free. Understanding of the clinical evolution of migraine CGRP release may have significant implications in acute treatment.

Compare baseline levels of CGRP measured during a migraine free period to those during the 4 phases (prodrome, mild, mod., severe) of migraine.
Time frame: baseline,prodrome, mild, mod., severe, 4 hrs. post dose
CGRP levels compared to no headache and as function of prodrome symptoms, prediction of mod/sev headache; compare prodrome symptoms to those reported at screening to pre-tx,tx,post tx.
Time frame: screening, prodrome, pre-treatment, mild, moderate tosevere, post treatment
