Research Contributions

Karsan’s research contributions have centered on the neurobiological and vascular mechanisms involved in migraine pathogenesis. Her studies on calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), acid-sensing ion channels, and nitric oxide signaling have supported the development of novel therapeutic strategies for migraine prevention and management.[4] Her neuroimaging investigations using functional magnetic resonance imaging and arterial spin labeling techniques have identified regional cerebral perfusion changes associated with migraine premonitory phases and triggered attacks. These findings have contributed to the broader understanding of migraine as a complex neurovascular disorder rather than solely a pain condition.[3]

Karsan has also contributed to pediatric headache medicine through studies examining migraine phenotyping in children and adolescents. Her work has highlighted the significance of early symptom recognition and non-painful manifestations in clinical diagnosis and management.[5]
