Retinal microvasculature features in patients with migraine: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Migraine is a central nervous system disorder involving neuronal and vascular factors. The brain has a close anatomical relationship with retinal vessels and similar regulatory processes, and the retinal vascular system is the only in vivo vessel that can be directly visualized, while optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is an advanced retinal vascular imaging technique. In this study, OCTA was used to study the retinal vascular density (VD) and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) in migraine patients, which provided a theoretical basis for its use as a candidate for rapid and non-invasive diagnosis of migraine.

Methods

Published studies comparing retinal microvascular profiles between migraine patients and healthy controls were obtained by a comprehensi
