Neurophysiology of Prophylactic Treatment in Migraine

Study Description
Brief Summary:

This study aims to improve the pathophysiological understanding of migraine in in a longitudinal observational study investigating changes of established neurophysiological and imaging parameters in line with changes of the clinical phenotype.

The study's focus is the investigation of mechanisms that are directly related to the cyclic character of migraine and its core structures. In this context, the primary endpoint is a change in the nociceptive blink reflex, an established brain stem reflex to study the trigemino-spinal system, associated with changes in migraine frequency and severity. In order to reliably detect changes in the trigeminal pain system, investigations are performed in patients before starting a prophylactic therapy and 3 months afterwards. Several secondary endpoints are used to evaluate changes of multimodal sensory and cortical information processing. Cerebral imaging will include examinations of structural and network effects of altered migraine disease activity.

  4. migraine headache frequency [ Time Frame: baseline and after 3 months ]
    days with migraine headaches during the last month

Other Outcome Measures:
  1. transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) [ Time Frame: baseline and after 3 months ]
    input-output curves of motor evoked potential following single and double-pulse navigated TMS to the side stimulated during the nociceptive blink reflex examination

  2. electroencephalography (EEG) [ Time Frame: baseline and after 3 months ]
    EEG connectivity following nociceptive and sensory stimulation

  3. structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) [ Time Frame: baseline and after 3 months ]
    volumetry of brain structures involved in central pain processing (e.g. cingulate cortex, insula, thalamus)

  4. functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) [ Time Frame: baseline and after 3 months ]
    resting-state connectivity of networks involved in central pain processing

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   Yes
Sampling Method:   Probability Sample
Study Population
All patients seen in the local headache clinic are screened for eligibility to participate the study. Clinical routine is not influenced by participation in this observational study, importantly choice of prophylactic treatment solely depends on the physician's and patient's decision based on national guidelines.
