Abstract: Spontaneous and pharmacologically provoked migraine attacks are frequently preceded by nonheadache symptoms called premonitory symptoms. Here, we systematically evaluated premonitory symptoms in migraine patients and healthy controls after glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) infusion. In women with migraine without aura (n = 34) and age-matched female controls (n = 24), we conducted systematically a semistructured interview assessing 21 possible premonitory symptoms every 15 minutes in the 5 hours after GTN infusion (0.5 µg/kg/min over 20 minutes). Migraine-like headaches occurred in 28/34 (82.4%) migraineurs (GTN responders). After GTN, 26/28 (92.9%) responders, 6/6 (100%) nonresponders, and 13/24 (54.2%) controls reported at least one possible premonitory symptom. Concentration difficulties (P = 0.011), yawning (P = 0.009), nausea (P = 0.028), and photophobia (P = 0.001) were more frequently reported by those migraineurs who developed a migraine-like attack vs healthy controls. Importantly, concentration difficulties were exclusively reported by those who developed a migraine-like attack. Thus, our findings support the view that GTN is able to provoke the naturally occurring premonitory symptoms and show that yawning, nausea, photophobia, and concentration difficulties are most specific for an impending GTN-induced migraine-like headache. We suggest that these symptoms may also be helpful as early warning signals in clinical practice with concentration difficulties exclusively reported by those who develop a migraine-like attack.
