Migraine and CVD Risk in Women (NCT03081390)
Mechanisms of Increased Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Women With Migraine
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The primary goal of this study is to test the effects of a high-fat, high-carbohydrate mixed meal on candidate modulators of cardiovascular disease risk (inflammation, vascular reactivity, sympathetic nervous system tone, and response to pain) in young adult women with migraine compared with healthy young women. This is study enrolling both cases (women with migraine) and controls (women without migraine), with equal numbers of normal weight and obese women in each group. Participants will undergo a telephone screening and a single day in-person study visit.
