Abstract

Acid‐sensing ion channels (ASICs) are neuronal proton sensors emerging as potential therapeutic targets in pain of the orofacial region. Amiloride, a non‐specific ASIC blocker, has been shown to exert beneficial effects in animal models of migraine and in patients. We explored the involvement of the ASIC1‐subtype in cutaneous allodynia, a hallmark of migraine affecting cephalic and extra‐cephalic regions in about 70% of migrainers.
