Afterimage duration differs for migraine with or without aura.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It is controversial to what extent afterimages, as distinct visual phenomena, are altered in patients with migraine and whether they have a specific role in migraine pathophysiology.

Objective

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the duration of afterimages in patients with migraine, migraine with aura (MwA), and migraine without aura (MwoA), compared to healthy controls (HCs).

Methods

Adults with migraine, MwA, and MwoA, diagnosed according to The International Classification of Headache Disorders, third edition criteria and HCs without relevant headache history were included. Initially, factors affecting the experimental setting of testing afterimage latency were determined. Then, afterimage duration was measured in the two study group
