Lymphatic Drainage: Key to Reducing Migraine Intensity?

Research Summary

A new study published in the Journal of Headache and Pain investigates the relationship between meningeal lymphatic drainage and headache intensity in individuals with episodic migraines. Researchers found that impaired lymphatic drainage in the meninges correlates with increased headache intensity. This suggests that the lymphatic system's role in clearing waste from the brain could be critical in understanding migraine dynamics. By examining this connection, the study highlights a potential area for developing future migraine treatments. These findings may pave the way for innovative therapeutic approaches targeting the lymphatic system to alleviate the burden of migraine headaches.
