Brief Summary

Migraine with aura (MA) is an independent risk factor for stroke and is associated with silent brain infracts and T2 white matter hyperintensities on MRI. Previous studies using Transcranial Doppler (TCD) have shown an impairment of cerebral autoregulation in MA patients. Studies with positron emission tomography have demonstrated an activation of brain stem areas during migraine attack. An increased density of brain stem grey matter as measured on MRI with voxel based morphometry (VBM) has been found in MA patients. As brain arteries and arterioles are innervated by ascending tracts from aminergic brainstem nuclei, th study hypothesize a negative correlation between the density of brainstem nuclei and the efficiency of cerebral autoregulation in MA patients compared with controls. Brainstem grey matter density will be studied with a MRI Philips 3 Tesla with a 32-channel antenna and voxel-based morphometry (VBM) cerebral autoregulation will be measured in the time domain using Transcranial Doppler (TCD) and the Mx method. MA patients will be studied in a headache-free period. MRI and Transcranial Doppler (TCD) are non-invasive technics and will be performed on the same day.

    Resonance magnetic imaging use voxel base morphometry and Transcranial doppler use the coefficient mx calculation.

    30 days after the pre-inclusion visit

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Comparison of brainstem grey matter density between migraine with aura patients and controls with magnetic resonance imaging

    30 days after pre-inclusion visit

  • Comparison of cerebral autoregulation between migraine with aura patients and controls with Transcranial Doppler

    30 days after pre-inclusion visit

  • Comparison of cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide between migraine with aura patients and controls with Transcranial Doppler

    30 days after pre-inclusion visit

  • Comparison of morphological abnormalities between migraine with aura patients and controls with resonance magnetic imaging.

    30 days after pre-inclusion visit

    30 days after pre-inclusion visit

  • +3 more secondary outcomes
