Functional Connectivity in Migraineurs with Photo-, Phono-, Osmophobia: Static and Dynamic Resting-state Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study
This Medfyle was published more than two years ago. More recent Medfyle on this topic may now be available.
Key messages
- Migraine attacks are associated with photo-, phono-, and osmophobia, which may be caused by different pathophysiological mechanisms because they are not present in all migraineurs.
- Static and dynamic resting-state functional connectivities in patients with migraine differed between patients with and without photo-, phono-, or osmophobia.
- Common altered functional connectivity regions in static and dynamic resting-state functional connectivities were seen in patients with photophobia, but not in patients with phonophobia or osmophobia.
