Cerebral hemodynamics in migraine.

V C Hachinski, J Olesen, J W Norris

    The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences. Le Journal Canadien Des Sciences Neurologiques
    |November 1, 1977

    Summary

    Migraine headaches involve changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF). Studies show reduced CBF during classic migraine aura, with variable CBF during the headache phase, impacting migraine research.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neuroscience
    • Cerebrovascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Migraine headaches are complex neurological events.
    • Understanding cerebral hemodynamic changes is crucial for migraine research.
    • Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) studies provide insights into brain perfusion during migraine attacks.

    Observation:

    • This study reports on three migraine cases using the intracarotid xenon 133 method.
    • Classic migraine with aura showed decreased cerebral blood flow during the aura phase.
    • This reduction in blood flow sometimes continued into the headache phase.

    Findings:

    • Common migraine, lacking aura, did not consistently demonstrate decreased cerebral blood flow.
    • During the headache phase of both migraine types, rCBF was typically normal or elevated.

  • Elevated rCBF may indicate post-ischemic hyperemia or pain-induced arousal.

    • Implications:

    • Cerebral blood flow patterns during migraine are variable and depend on the migraine type.
    • Findings challenge the hypothesis of intracranial arterial distension during migraine headache.
    • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the pathophysiology of migraine headaches.
