Association of white matter hyperintensities with migraine phenotypes and response to treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are frequently found in migraineurs. However, their clinical significance and correlation to different migraine phenotypes and treatment responses are not well defined. The study aimed to examine the association of WMHs with migraine clinical patterns and treatment response.

Aim of work

We aimed to evaluate the association between WMHs and migraine phenotypes and explore the relationship of WMHs to treatment response.

Methods

Our cross-sectional study formed of 500 migraineurs who sought treatment in Kafr el-sheik university hospital and underwent (3 T) MRI to evaluate WMHs. Different migraine phenotypes were compared between patients with and without WMHs. According to reduced headache pain intensity and frequency, th
