Summary

The aim of this study is to define the sympathetic skin response of migraineurs in the facial area. This will be achieved by exposing healthy volunteers and migraine patients to various stress stimuli (pain, visual stimulation, auditory stimulation and a mathematical challenge), and recording sympathetic skin response in the facial area.

Conditions

• Migraine Disorders

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Pain stimulation	Pain will be simulated with an electric shock 25 mlAMP over the median nerve
OTHER	Visual stimulation	Visual stimulation will be performed by a flicker of light on a computer screen at 15 Hrz for 0.3 seconds
OTHER	Auditory stimulation	Auditory stimulation will be delivered through headphones with a sound at 500 Hrz at 85 decibels for 0.3 seconds
OTHER	Mental stress	A mathematical challenge will be displayed on a computer screen that must be quickly solved
