What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Migraine incidance after infusion of adrenomedullin compared to placebo

    A standard headache questionnaire will be used to register headache intensity and migraine associated symptoms.

    Measured: 0-12 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Headache intensity

    Headache intensity will be measured using Visual analogue scale (0 = no pain -10 = worst pain )

    Measured: 0-12 hours

  2. Change in puls, MAP and facial flushing

    After infusion of adrenomedullin compared to placebo

    Measured: 0-90 minutes
