Rheoencephalographic Observations in Migraine

چکیده
Amongst the various forms of headache migraine is differentiated by three main criteria: (1) intense pain, hemicranic in type, of which (2) beginning and termination are clearly defined (meaning pain occurs in socalled fits or attacks) and which is (3) recurring periodically. It should be distinguished from continuous headache (vasomotor cephalea) even if the latter is only one-sided (hemicranic) and pulsating or of changing intensity as in waves. Typical and rare symptoms accompanying migraine such as vomiting, scotomata, vegetative disturbances and others we shall not discuss here since they have been presented separately (Barolin 4).
