Migraine attacks are often followed by postdrome symptoms like tiredness and mood changes, lasting up to 18 hours. These symptoms aid in diagnosing migraine, especially without aura.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Clinical Neuroscience

Background:

  • Migraine is a complex neurological disorder.
  • Understanding postdrome symptoms is crucial for diagnosis and patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the characteristics and duration of symptoms following a migraine headache.
  • To assess the diagnostic utility of postdrome symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was administered to 40 migraineurs the day after an attack.
  • Participants reported on the presence and nature of post-headache symptoms.

Main Results:

  • Common postdrome symptoms included fatigue, depressed mood, and concentration difficulties.
  • Symptoms ranged from 2 to 11 per patient, lasting an average of 18 hours.

  • Postdrome symptoms were observed in both migraine with and without aura groups.

    • Conclusions:

    • Postdrome symptoms are common and prolonged after migraine attacks.
    • Identifying these symptoms can aid in migraine diagnosis, particularly in cases lacking aura.
    • The widespread nature of postdrome symptoms suggests a global brain involvement in migraine aftermath.
