Visual task performance can predict migraine attacks. This study found changes in motion discrimination thresholds correlate with the migraine cycle, offering potential for home-based prediction tools.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Ophthalmology
  • Chronobiology

Background:

  • Perceptual, electrophysiological, and imaging measures can track migraine periodicity.
  • Electrophysiological and imaging research have limited practical applications due to specialized equipment requirements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To track changes in visual task performance across the migraine cycle.
  • To investigate the practical application of visual tests for migraine prediction.

Main Methods:

  • Measured coherence thresholds for two motion and two orientation visual tasks.
  • Validated online study data against laboratory conditions.
  • Recruited participants with migraine with aura, migraine without aura, and healthy controls.

Main Results:

  • Online study data showed comparable results to laboratory-based data.
  • Thresholds for discriminating vertical coherent motion varied with the migraine cycle for a majority of participants.
  • Performance improved two days before and remained improved for two days after a migraine attack.

Conclusions:

  • Visual task performance, specifically motion discrimination, fluctuates with the migraine cycle.
  • This research supports the development of accessible, home-based visual tests for predicting migraine attacks.
  • Such tests could enable proactive management of migraine episodes.
