Methods The model of nitroglycerin migraine was made after rat treated by gastrodin for 5 days, the time points of ear rubescence and the times of scratch head were observed to take as evaluation index of pharmacodynamic action, the concentration of 5-HT, NE and DA were measured in the brain with HPLC. Results Gastrodin could obviously prevent the attack of migraine and increase the concentration of 5-HT, DA and NE in the brain. Conclusions The effects of gastrodin against migraine is related with the concentration of 5-HT, DA and NE in the brain, gastrodin can regulate neurosystematic functions and enhance the secretion and metabolism of neurotransmitters.
