The aim of this study is to define the sympathetic skin response of migraineurs in the facial area. This will be achieved by exposing healthy volunteers and migraine patients to various stress stimuli (pain, visual stimulation, auditory stimulation and a mathematical challenge), and recording sympathetic skin response in the facial area.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
70
Pain will be simulated with an electric shock 25 mlAMP over the median nerve
Visual stimulation will be performed by a flicker of light on a computer screen at 15 Hrz for 0.3 seconds
Auditory stimulation will be delivered through headphones with a sound at 500 Hrz at 85 decibels for 0.3 seconds
