Isolated reports of a possible positive effect of anti-coagulant drugs, among them heparin, warfarin and acenocumarol, in migraine prophylaxis are found in the literature.

Background: Migraines affect 28 million people in the United States. Surgical treatment for migraine headaches refractory to medical treatment has grown recently for patient with limited options. Utility scores are standardized tools offering validated means of measuring the health state preference of a health condition or disease state.

The thalamus is a key center in migraine: nociceptive signals are conveyed there from the trigeminal brainstem nuclear complex. Not surprisingly, it is activated during the acute attack and some drugs like triptanss or propanolol elicit their pain-relief effect by locally activating thalamic neurons. By the same token, thalamic structural lesions could potentially modify the course of this diso...

Elsewhere, I have described a series of patients with migraine plus a mild psychosis. Now I p...
