Nitric Oxide Modulation of Low‐Frequency Oscillations in Cortical Vessels in FHM – a NIRS Study

Background.— The pathophysiological alterations in patients with familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) are not yet fully known. The headache characteristics in patients with FHM mutations have been examined in a series of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) provocation studies in FHM patients, but the cortical vascular response to GTN in FHM patients has never been investigated before.
