Purpose Of The Report: The aim of this study is to observe the abnormalities of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in migraine patients and to evaluate its relation to the severity of the headache in patients with migraine.
Patients And Methods: The rCBF imaging was done on 19 patients with migraine and 15 normal controls using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The abnormal character of cerebral perfusion function was analyzed with Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) software, and the headache grade of patients was evaluated with the headache severity measuring scale.
