Migraine is a common, polygenic disorder that is characterized by moderate to severe headache attacks. Migraine attacks are commonly treated with triptans, i.e. serotonin receptor agonists. However, triptans are effective in ~ 60% of the population, and the mechanisms of triptans are debated. Here, we aim to expose the mechanisms of triptan using metabolomics and transcriptomics in spontaneous migraine attacks. We collected temporal multi-omics profiles on 24 migraine patients, using samples collected at a migraine attack, 2 h after treatment with a triptan, when headache-free, and after a cold-pressor test...
