This award funds the development of a novel multi-modal mouse model to study cluster headache, addressing a critical need for disease-specific treatments by replicating key features of the disorder in an animal model.
Description
A project to create the first multi-modal animal model of cluster headache by combining a chemical trigger, brain/hypothalamus activation, and a mouse line lacking a genetic susceptibility gene. This model aims to provide insights into cluster headache pathophysiology and develop novel treatment strategies.
