Neuroendocrinological study of opioid and serotoninergic systems in migraine patients

Ital J Neurol Sci. 1984 Dec;5(4):413-6. doi: 10.1007/BF02042625.

Abstract

PRL response to morphine in a group of migraine subjects was studied in the baseline condition and after neuroendocrinological inhibition and stimulation tests. No significant differences were found in comparison with control subjects. This demonstrated the integrity of the opioid system and serotoninergic pathways in migraine subjects.
