ResumoThe intracellular pH (pH i ) of cerebral cortex was measured in migraine patients by use of in vivo phosphorus-31 NMR spectroscopy. No changes in pH i were measured during a migraine attack. The long-standing concept that the headache of migraine is due to cerebral vaso-dilatation induced by prodromal vasospasm-induced ischemic acidosis is not substantiated.
