Cortical excitation in migraine: using vision to understand and track brain excitability

偏头痛是一种常见的神经系统疾病，影响约15%的成年人。如果早期使用，治疗是最有效的，但许多人无法预测他们的偏头痛或识别早期症状。除了头痛，主要症状还包括异常的视觉和听觉体验。我们认为，视觉和听觉的各个方面将根据当前的大脑状态而系统地变化。我们的翻译目标是开发测试，让个人更好地管理偏头痛。

Migraine is a common neurological condition affecting approximately 15% of adults. Therapies are most effective if used early, yet many people are unable to predict their migraines or to recognize early signs. In addition to headache, key symptoms include abnormal visual and auditory experience. We propose that aspects of vision and hearing will vary systematically according to the current brain status. Our translational goal is to develop tests that allow individuals to better manage migraine.
