Migraine is a recurrent, debilitating neurological condition characterized by severe headaches often accompanied by a constellation of unpleasant symptoms. Impacting approximately 15% of the global population, migraine significantly diminishes the quality of life of its sufferers, imposing a considerable societal and economic burden. The migraine episode is typically divided into four distinct phases: the premonitory phase, the aura phase, the headache phase, and the postdromal phase. While these phases may occur in sequence, they can also exhibit substantial overlap.
Extensive research has elucidated that the trigeminovascular system, a critical component in migraine pathophysiology, is regulated by the brainstem and diencephalic nuclei. This system consists of efferent neurons that innervate vascular networks and afferent neurons that relay sensory information to the trigeminal nucleus caudalis. The activation of these neural networks results in meningeal inflammation and vasodilation, contributing to the perception of head pain during migraine episodes. This understanding of migraine's underlying mechanisms has paved the way for the development of targeted therapies aimed at alleviating the symptoms and reducing the frequency of migraine attacks.
