Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of triptans and doxycycline on neuroinflammatory markers in acute migraine.

Detailed Description:
Increased inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been recently implicated in migraine. Inflammation may be a key player in the pathophysiology of migraine by altering blood-brain barrier (BBB) function. As an inflammation induced MMP, MMP-9 is involved in both BBB disruption and neuropathic pain, and is largely derived by neutrophil degranulation during neutrophil-BBB interaction. The tetracycline group of antibiotics may suppress MMP production and neutrophil degranulation. This study aims to investigate known neuroinflammatory biomarkers with a focus on BBB breakdown during acute migraine attacks and assess marker responses to conventional treatment (triptans) and novel MMP targeted therapy (doxycycline). This pilot project data will supplement future projects investigating novel therapeutic strategies such as MMP inhibitors in both migraine acute treatment and prevention.
