The role of hypothalamus in the pathogenesis of migraine: advances in functional imaging / 中华神经科杂志

ABSTRACT

Migraine is a complex pain syndrome and the pathogenesis remains unclear. Functional neuroimaging is an indispensable tool in migraine research and helps to understand the pathogenesis of migraine. The hypothalamus is a powerful brain structure. Clinical and animal experiments have revealed the important role of the hypothalamus in the pathogenesis of migraine. In recent years, functional imaging studies have provided evidence that the hypothalamus is closely related to migraine. This article reviews the relationship between migraine and hypothalamus from the perspective of functional imaging.
