DTI: Unlocking Glymphatic Insights in Migraine Diagnosis

Research Summary

Recent research published in Biomedicines explores the potential of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) as a diagnostic tool for migraines, linked to impaired glymphatic clearance. Since 2020, studies have produced mixed results on the effectiveness of various DTI metrics, focusing on whole-brain analyses and specific perivascular regions to identify differences related to migraines. Despite conflicting findings, understanding the molecular relationship between migraines and the glymphatic system could enhance DTI data analysis. Future research with larger sample sizes and advanced analytics could clarify DTI's role in migraine assessment, offering new insights into migraine pathophysiology.
