“…Noradrenaline levels in the cerebrospinal fluid of migraineurs were lower than in controls (Martinez et al, ). In two case studies, migraine was observed to be a complication of cervical ganglion blockage treatment (Spierings, ; Beleña et al, ). Check et al () showed that sympathetic amines treated resistant headaches in women.…”

Neurogenic inflammation in the dura mater caused by trigeminal nociceptive activation has been implicated in the pathophysiology of migraine. Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) is a powerful neuroprotective neuropeptide that can modulate mast cell behavior. Migraine is also associated with sympathetic insufficiency. This study investigates the effects of VIP on the number of mast cells in the dura mater and on c-Fos expression in the trigeminal nucleus of sympathectomized rats. Experiments were carried out with 32 Sprague-Dawley male rats with body weights of 200-250 g. In the sympathectomized group, the left superior cervical sympathetic ganglion was removed. In the sympathectomized + VIP group, postoperative VIP 25 ng/kg/day (0.2 ml) was administered for 5 days. In the sham group, the ganglion and nerves were exposed but not dissected. Dura maters were stained with toluidine blue, and brainstems were labeled by indirect immunohistochemistry for c-Fos. Sympathectomy significantly increased the number of mast cells in both the ipsilateral and the contralateral dura mater (P < 0.001). VIP decreased the number of mast cells in both sides of the dura mater in sympathectomized rats. VIP also decreased c-Fos expression in the ipsilateral trigeminal nucleus of sympathectomized rats (P < 0.001). In the context of an experimental superior cervical ganglionectomy model of migraine, VIP is an efficient modulator of neurogenic inflammation of the dura.

“…The signs and symptoms of the ipsilateral migraine without aura developed after ultrasound‐guided SGB for insomnia. Our literature search revealed two other cases in which the patients experienced migraines after SGB 13,14 . Those patients had auras accompanying the migraines, and the migraines persisted for several months.…”

Key Clinical MessageStellate ganglion block‐induced ipsilateral migraines are rare. We present a typical case detailing its developmental process. Abnormalities in the autonomic nervous system control and vascular and neural mechanisms may play crucial roles in the manifestation of these migraines. Postprocedural migraines necessitate anesthesiologists' awareness during stellate ganglion blocks.

“…Experimentally, it has been shown that sympathectomy induces c-Jun in adult trigeminal neurons and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) expression in sensory neurons, and activates dura mater mast cells (Bolden 1996;Bolden et al 1997;Bergerot et al 2000). Migraine has been observed as a complication of ganglion blockage treatment (Spierings 2003;Beleña et al 2006). Yildiz et al showed a sympathetic function in migraineurs by measuring facial sympathetic skin response.…”

The Effects of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide on Dura Mater Nitric Oxide Levels and Vessel-Contraction Responses in Sympathectomized Rats

Nitric oxide (NO) and neurogenic inflammation in dura mater due to nociceptor activation has been implicated for pathophysiology of primary headache disorders. Development of migraine has also been observed in patients treated with ganglion blockage for sympathetic reflex dystrophy. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective neuropeptide. This study is intended to investigate the effects of VIP on dura mater NO levels and vessel-contraction responses in sympathectomized rats. In the experiments, 30 male rats in five groups were used. Group 1 sympathectomized: under anesthesia, superior cervical sympathetic ganglion was removed via incision at the center line in the neck area. Group 2 sympathectomized + VIP: postoperative VIP of 25 ng/kg/day (0.2 ml) intraperitoneally administered to the rats exposed to the same operations for 5 days. Group 3 sham: ganglia and nerves were exposed but not dissected. Group 4 control: no treatment was done. Group 5 VIP: only VIP was administered for 5 days. Sympathectomy induced a significant increase in dura mater NO levels and VIP decreased NO to control levels and increased the norepinephrine vessel-contraction responses of sympathectomized rats. VIP is an efficient NO modulator in superior cervical ganglionectomized rats.
