Model of vascular-neural coupling. Mast cell activation and degranulation alter the trigeminovascular microenvironment via release of inflammatory molecules. Inflammatory molecules can mediate vasodilation of nearby vessels and cause nociceptor activation. Vessels can activate trigeminal neurons mechanically or by release of inflammatory mediators due to increased vascular permeability causing a positive feedback loop.
