CGRP is a neuropeptide related to migraine pathophysiology, which can be found in human saliva in both patients and healthy controls. The differences in CGRP levels may help us explain the differences in the treatment response.
A sample of saliva will be collected in order to measure CGRP levels and a blood sample will be collected in order to conduct a DNA test and hormones test.
