Migraine Study: No Subcortical Volume Differences Found

Research Summary

A new study published in the journal Headache reveals that there are no significant differences in the volumes of subcortical brain structures between individuals with migraine and healthy controls. Conducted at the Danish Headache Center, this research involved 295 migraine sufferers and 154 healthy controls using advanced magnetic resonance imaging to measure the volume of key regions such as the thalamus and hippocampus. The study also examined various migraine subtypes and phases but found no volumetric differences. These findings suggest that subcortical volumes are not effective imaging biomarkers for migraines, prompting researchers to explore other potential neurobiological indicators.
