Sumatriptan is a frequently applied anti-migraine treatment, yet ≈20-30% migraineurs are nonresponders. TRPV1 channels on trigeminal nerve endings release CGRP during migraine attacks, while, supposedly, stimulation of the presynaptic 5-HT(1B)/1D receptor by sumatriptan inhibits this release. Capsaicin (CAP) stimulates TRPV1 channels, causing CGRP-dependent vasodilatation, whereas electrical stimulation (ES) induces vasodilation without direct TRPV1 activation. …
