关于偏头痛对认知功能的长期影响知之甚少。本研究采用盲法设计，比较了老年偏头痛患者与对照组的四项认知能力指标。偏头痛患者和病例匹配的对照组是从一项已有的老龄化研究的数据库记录中招募的。数据来自四个认知能力测试：口头/算术问题解决，空间问题解决，处理速度和词汇。偏头痛组和对照组在四项认知测试中的任何一项上的平均得分都没有显著差异。此外，偏头痛组和对照组在年龄对四项测试中的任何一项的影响方面都没有显著差异。长期的偏头痛病史不会影响本研究中使用的四项认知测试的分数。这些测试可以预测认知老化中的记忆和执行功能，但仍有可能较低水平的认知过程，特别是通过视觉任务评估的认知过程，可能容易患偏头痛。
Little is known about the long-term consequences of migraine for cognitive functioning. This study compared older migraine patients with matched controls on four measures of cognitive ability, in a blinded design. Migraine patients and case-matched controls were recruited from the database records of a pre-existing study of ageing. Data were available from four tests of cognitive ability: verbal/arithmetic problem solving, spatial problem solving, processing speed, and vocabulary. There were no significant differences between the mean scores of migraine and control groups on any of the four cognitive tests. In addition, there were no significant differences between migraine and control groups in the effect of age on any of the four tests. A long history of migraine does not compromise scores on the four cognitive tests used in this study. These tests are predictive of memory and executive functioning in cognitive ageing, but it remains possible that lower-level cognitive processes, particularly as assessed by visual tasks, may be vulnerable to migraine.
