[Various aspects of the pathogenesis, clinical picture and treatment of migraine]

In a series of 108 patients with migraine the authors studied the characteristics of the emotional-personality sphere and autonomic nervous system, as well as the status of the brain nonspecific systems. The findings of nocturnal electropolygraphy were also used in the study. The efficacy of drugs with antiserotonin action versus multiple modality therapy was compared. The observed disorders in the psychic, autonomic and endocrine systems are interpreted as a consequence of dysfunction of the central integrative cerebral apparatuses. The most effective approaches toward the multiple modality therapy of migraine patients have been developed.
