Cerebrovascular Function in Migraine Patients during, their Interictal Period, Compared to Normal Healthy Controls

Background: Migraine is a debilitating neurovascular disorder which primarily impacts the working age population. The aim of study was to determine if transient hemodynamic alterations during each migraine attack translates into cerebrovascular alterations, migraineurs interictal period. A secondary hypothesis there any relationship between vascular hemodynamics and either severity or frequency attacks.Methods: We recruited 29 volunteers: 13 (mean 28±8.8 years; 12 female 1 male) 16 age-matched controls 26.6±6.9; 9 7 male). Volunteers were classified as sufferer not (control group). All individuals underwent detailed ophthalmic examination by qualified optometrist Disability Assessment. Cerebral blood velocity measurements for Middle Artery (MCA) Vertebral (VA) obtained using Colour Doppler Imaging Hitachi Aloka Noblus ultrasound system. investigators blind diagnosis.Results: During their period appear have no significant difference in parameter, MCA VA, when compared normal healthy controls. Neither Assessment Scores parameter reported.Conclusion: This found nil could be measured controls,
