Magnetoencephalography studies in migraine and headache disorders: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying migraine and other primary headache disorders is critical for the development of long-term cures. Magnetoencephalography (MEG), an imaging modality that measures neuronal currents and cortical excitability with high temporal and superior spatial resolution, has been increasingly used in neurological research. Initial MEG studies showed promise in directly recording cortical spreading depression-a cortical correlate of migraine with aura. However, lately MEG technology has highly evolved with greater potential to reveal underlying pathophysiology of migraine and primary headache disorders, and aid in the identification of biomarkers.

Objective

To systematically review the use of MEG in migraine and other primary headac
