Book synopsis

Migraine is a common and disabling neurovascular§disorder. Symptoms of migraine resemble those of§motion sickness to which migraineurs are often§susceptible. Both maladies involve reflexes that§relay in brain stem nuclei. This book explores§whether brain stem disturbance persists subclinically§interictally in migraineurs. Migraineurs were exposed§to various sensory stimuli when headache-free.§Symptoms of migraine and vascular reactivity to§various stimuli were explored following exposure to§optokinetic stimulation and painful stimulation of§the head or limb. The impact of stress in relation§to the development of these responses was also§explored. Findings might help clarify mechanisms§that initiate migraine, and insights may assist the§development of approaches to reduce susceptibility to§recurring attacks. This book is essential reading§for medical practitioners, neurologists,§physiotherapists, chiropractors, nurses,§academics/students, neuroscientists, and pain§specialists, as well as migraineurs and interested§members of the public. This book will also be of§interest to pharmaceutical companies, as it will§provide insights with regards treating the disease§chemically.
