The aim of the study will be achieved by collecting and analyzing blood, saliva, and tears from 30 individuals with migraine and 30 healthy age-, gender- and socio-occupationally matched controls (T0). All the participants will be recruited among the hospital personnel at Nordland Hospital.
Participants with migraine who experience an attack at work during daytime within a 6-month period will immediately contact study staff and undergo collection of blood, saliva and tear fluid (T1). They will then receive oral dissolving rimegepant (Vydura®), which is an effective and legislated treatment of migraine attacks. Two hours later, treatment response and adverse effects will be assessed and new samples collected (T2). The same procedure will be performed 24 hours later (T3). Samples will be collected, handled and analyzed according to our in-house procedures and stored in the Neurological Biobank until analysis.
