    Dissertation title: Migraine, stress and emotions - Psychophysiological and neuroimmunological correlates. 
    Abstract: The aim of the project is to investigate the development of chronic migraine out of episodic migraine through comparing physiological and psychological features of patients with episodic migraine or chronic migraine. We are mainly interested in the role of Serotonin, Beta-Endorphin and several cytokines as well as the role of stress and the reaction of the HPA axis in the development of the disease.
