Pathophysiological crosstalk between migraine aura and epilepsy: Effect of lomerizine hydrochloride

The relation between migraine, typical migraine aura and "visual snow".

OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between the phenotype of the "visual snow" syndrome, comorbid migraine, and typical migraine aura on a clinical basis and using functional brain imaging. BACKGROUND Patients with "visual snow" suffer from continuous TV-static-like tiny flickering dots in the entire visual field. Most patients describe a syndrome with additional visual symptoms of the follo...

Clinical Characteristics and Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Familial Migraine with and without Aura

Lamotrigine reduces migraine aura and migraine attacks in patients with migraine with aura.

This study examined the efficacy of lamotrigine in the prevention of migraine aura. Fifty nine patients suffering from migraine with aura received lamotrigine in a controlled three year prospective open study. Treatment response was defined as a reduction of aura frequency each month by at least 50%. Primary endpoint was reached by three quarters of the patients. Lamotrigine significantly reduc...
