Research Summary
A recent study published in the Journal of Headache and Pain explores how migraine with aura affects the brain's subcortical nuclei and glymphatic system using advanced 7T MRI technology. The research revealed significant alterations in these brain structures compared to non-migraine individuals. Specifically, the study noted changes in the thalamus and brainstem, regions associated with sensory processing and pain regulation. Additionally, disruptions in the glymphatic system, which helps clear waste from the brain, were observed. These findings highlight potential pathways for future research into migraine mechanisms and suggest new directions for therapeutic strategies targeting these brain alterations.
