Structural and Molecular Neuroplasticity in Migraine

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Migraine

In brief

The main purpose of this study is to integrate novel MRI techniques with positron emission tomography(PET) for the study of structural and molecular neuroplasticity in the brain of migraineurs, and its clinical association with changes in pain perception and modulation (e.g. allodynia). We will attempt to acquire images of the brain that may, in the future, assist doctors in better understanding how pain is felt and regulated in migraine sufferers.
