Correlation of CGRP and VIP saliva levels observed in our study supports physiologically coordinated regulation of trigeminal and parasympathetic nerve activation in allergic rhinosinusitis and migraine patients between and during attacks as well as following treatment. Furthermore, our findings demonstrate that analysis of human saliva neuropeptides may provide a semiquantitative index of pathological and therapeutic states and, therefore, function as a clinical model for studying neuronal mechanisms involved in migraine and rhinosinusitis.
