A Study to Evaluate Neuroimaging of Men with Migraine

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to find sex-based differences in migraine-related functional connectivity. To achieve this, men with migraine will be compared to men healthy controls and women with migraine will be compared to women healthy controls.

Men and women with migraine will then be compared, using region-pairs that differed in the single-sex comparisons. Identification of migraine-related, sex-specific, functional imaging aberrations will provide insights into sex-specific migraine pathophysiology and will inform future imaging studies

Migraine subjects will be diagnosed using the ICHD-3 diagnostic criteria for migraine.

Exclusion Criteria:

History of neurological disorder other than migraine.
Prior history of gross anatomical change on imaging.
Contraindications to MRI including, but not limited to, severe claustrophobia and/or presence of ferrous materials in the body.
Additionally, exclusion criteria for healthy controls include a history of migraine or other headaches.
