Detailed Description

22 healthy participants will randomly be allocated to receive PACAP38 infusion followed by glibenclamide or placebo on two different days.

The aim of the study is to investigate the vascular effect of PACAP38 after glibenclamide administration.

Repeated measurements covering the arteria radialis (RA), superficial temporal artery (STA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) before and after PACAP38 infusion and glibenclamide/placebo administration

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Headache
Time Frame: Time of headache measurements is from before (-20 minutes) and up to 12 hours after PACAP38 infusion
Headache intensity will be recorded by numerical rating scale (NRS) from 0 to 10 (0, no headache; 1, a feeling of pressure; 10, worst imaginable headache).
Time of headache measurements is from before (-20 minutes) and up to 12 hours after PACAP38 infusion
