Chronic migraine is a highly disabling condition, and many patients only experience partial relief with existing medications. Animal models of chronic migraine serve as tools to screen novel medications, and to identify molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying refractory headache. This talk will outline the different preclinical models of chronic migraine and discuss the pros and cons of each model.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participant will be able to list preclinical models of refractory headache.
Upon completion, participant will demonstrate understanding on how symptoms of migraine are modeled in animals.
Upon completion, participant will be able to understand preclinical data using animal models of chronic migraine.
