Migraine patients exhibit impaired cerebral autoregulation, showing reduced blood flow responses during breath-holding tasks. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) offers a reliable method to assess these cerebral circulation changes in migraineurs.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cerebrovascular Physiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Migraine is associated with altered cerebral circulation parameters.
  • Non-invasive assessment of cerebral autoregulation is crucial for understanding migraine.
  • Existing methods may not fully capture cerebrovascular dynamics in migraine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a joint analysis protocol using TCD and NIRS for assessing cerebral autoregulation in migraine patients.
  • To investigate differences in cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) and haemoglobin oxygenation during a breath-holding task between migraineurs and healthy controls.
  • To evaluate the potential of NIRS as a cost-effective tool for studying cerebral coupling dysregulations in migraine.

Main Methods:

  • A combined transcranial Doppler (TCD) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) protocol was employed.

  • 30 healthy subjects and 30 migraine without aura patients participated.
  • Cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) and brain tissue oxygenation (oxy-Hb, deoxy-Hb) were measured at baseline and during a breath-holding (BH) task.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant baseline difference in mean CBFV between groups, but greater velocity dispersion in migraineurs.
    • Migraineurs showed a significantly smaller BH index and reduced oxy-Hb increase during BH task compared to controls.
    • Migraineurs exhibited altered haemoglobin balancing during BH, suggesting impaired vasodilation response to CO2 increase.

    Conclusions:

    • The joint TCD-NIRS protocol effectively assesses cerebral autoregulation in migraine.
    • Migraine patients demonstrate impaired cerebrovascular reactivity during acute hypercapnia.
    • NIRS is a promising, accessible technique for investigating cerebral coupling dysregulations in migraine.
