Objectives: In this study, the EEG findings in children with migraine headache were assessed in Bahrami Hospital, Tehran, Iran from 2014 to 2016.
Materials & Methods: In this observational cross-sectional study, 71 consecutive children with migraine headache were enrolled. The EEG findings were determined and compared with other variables.
Results: There were 25 cases (35.2%) with abnormal EEG and the type of EEG abnormality comprised slow waves and sharp waves in 19(68%) and 8(32%) patients, respectively.
Conclusion: Nearly one-third of children with migraine might have abnormal EEG.

The Interplay Between Gut Microbiota, Adipose Tissue, and Migraine: A Narrative Review.
Nutrients
January 2025
Department of Neurosciences, Rehabilitation, Ophthalmology, Genetics, Maternal and Child Health, University of Genoa, 16126 Genoa, Italy.
Background: Migraine, a prevalent neurovascular disorder, affects millions globally and is associated with significant morbidity. Emerging evidence suggests a crucial role of the gut microbiota and adipose tissue in the modulation of migraine pathophysiology, particularly through mechanisms involving neuroinflammation and metabolic regulation.
Material And Methods: A narrative review of the literature from 2000 to 2024 was conducted using the PubMed database.

Eur J Pain
February 2025
Department of Health Science and Technology, Center for Pain and Neuroplasticity (CNAP), SMI, School of Medicine, Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark.
Aim: Identify values that could predict the presence of increased pressure-pain sensitivity independent of the migraine cycle through a single assessment.
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a previous study in which 198 episodic and chronic migraine patients were assessed during all phases of the migraine cycle. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was assessed over the temporalis, cervical spine, hand, and leg.
The "central vein sign" to differentiate multiple sclerosis from migraine.
Headache
January 2025
IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino, Genoa, Italy.
Objective: To investigate, in two cohorts including patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and migraine, (i) the prevalence of the "central vein sign" (CVS), (ii) the spatial distribution of positive CVS (CVS+) lesions, (iii) the threshold of CVS+ lesions able to distinguish MS from migraine with high sensitivity and specificity.
Methods: A total of 70 patients with MS/clinically isolated syndrome and 50 age- and sex-matched patients with migraine underwent a 3-T magnetic resonance imaging scan. The CVS was evaluated according to current guidelines, excluding eight patients with migraine who did not show white matter (WM) lesions.
Pharmacological differences and switching among anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies: A narrative review.
Headache
January 2025
Section of Clinical Pharmacology and Oncology, Department of Health Sciences, University of Florence, Florence, Italy.
Antibodies targeting either the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), such as galcanezumab, fremanezumab, and eptinezumab, or the receptor (erenumab) have been approved for the prevention of episodic and chronic migraine. Although widely used and generally effective, a proportion of patients discontinue treatment due to lack of efficacy. In both randomized controlled trials and observational studies, all anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have consistently demonstrated comparable efficacy and tolerability, suggesting a pharmacological class effect.
