Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the serum levels of vasoactive neuropeptides (calcitonin gene‐related peptide [CGRP], pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating peptide‐38 [PACAP‐38], substance P [SP], and vasoactive intestinal peptide [VIP], which have been linked to the pathophysiology of migraine in adults) in pediatric migraine without aura during both pain attacks and pain‐free periods and in a control group, with a view of evaluating their diagnostic value in pediatric migraine.
