Retinal Imaging Reveals New Insights into Migraine Pathology

Research Summary

Researchers discovered that analyzing the multifractal and lacunarity characteristics of the retinal microvasculature can offer new insights into migraine pathology. Using optical coherence tomography angiography, the study focused on the intricate patterns and spacing within the retinal blood vessels of individuals with migraines. The findings suggest that these retinal features could potentially serve as biomarkers, aiding in the understanding of migraine mechanisms. Published in BMC Ophthalmology, this research highlights the potential of advanced imaging techniques to explore the vascular changes associated with migraines, though the abstract does not explicitly discuss clinical applications or implications for treatment.
