متن کاملMigraine – Pathophysiology of Pain
Migraine is a primary episodic headache disorder characterized by a cascade of events that involve various combinations of neurologic, gastrointestinal and autonomic changes.

Headache and its associated neuro-vascular changes are subserved by the trigeminal...
متن کامل[Pathophysiology of migraine chronification].
In approximately 3％ of migraineurs, migraine evolves into more protracted and severe conditions annually. Meanwhile, approximately 26％ of chronic migraine cases regain the episodic nature of migraine headaches in two years. The prevalence of chronic migraine is estimated to be approximately 1％. Although the pathophysiology of migraine chronification is poorly understood, several studies have de...
