Imipramine potentiates the dopamine-induced inhibition in the paravertebral lumbar ganglia of the dog. Potentiation by imipramine of the dopamine-induced neurogenic vasodilatation in the isolated perfused gracilis muscle, is seen in cross-circulation preparations only, where imipramine is injected into the perfusion circuit of an isolated perfused gracilis muscle, it antagonizes the dopamine-induced neurogenic vasodilatation. When imipramine is injected intravenously into a dog with an autoperfused gracilis muscle, the peripheral antagonism masks the potentiating effect at the ganglionic level, and the dopamine-induced neurogenic vasodilatation is abolished.

Migraine, a primary headache disorder whose mechanism remains incompletely understood, appears to involve the activation of the trigeminovascular system (TS) during attacks. Research suggests that inflammatory processes mediated by the immune system may play a role in migraine pathophysiology. Neuroinflammation is often associated with migraine attacks, with cytokines serving as crucial mediators in the process.

Objective: The sympathetic-parasympathetic (or axo-axonal) interaction mechanism mediated that neurogenic relaxation, which was dependent on norepinephrine (NE) releases from sympathetic nerve terminal and acts on β-adrenoceptor of parasympathetic nerve terminal, has been reported. As NE is a weak β-adrenoceptor agonist, there is a possibility that synaptic NE is converted to epinephrine by phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase (PNMT) and then acts on the β-adrenoceptors to induce neurogenic vasodilation.
Methods: Blood vessel myography technique was used to measure relaxation and contraction responses of isolated basilar arterial rings of rats.

Headaches, including migraines, can have a causal relationship to exposure to cold, and this relationship may be both positive and negative, as cold can both provoke and alleviate cephalgia. The role of thermoreceptors responsible for transduction of low temperatures belongs to the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily melastatin member 8 (TRPM8). These channels mediate normal cooling sensation and have a role in both cold pain and cooling-mediated analgesia; they are seen as a potential target for principally new anti-migraine pharmaceuticals.

Syncope is an abrupt, transient, and complete loss of consciousness associated with an inability to maintain postural tone; recovery is rapid and spontaneous. The condition is common, resulting in about 1.7 million emergency department visits in 2019.

Purpose Of Review: Surgical deactivation of migraine trigger sites by extracranial neurovascular decompression has produced encouraging results and challenged previous understanding of primary headaches. However, there is a lack of in-depth discussions on the pathophysiological basis of migraine surgery. This narrative review provides interpretation of relevant literature from the perspective of compressive neuropathic etiology, pathogenesis, and pathophysiology of migraine.
