Abstract

Often, persistent post-traumatic headache and migraine are phenotypically similar. However, the similarities and differences in the neuropathological underpinnings of persistent post-traumatic headache and migraine require further understanding. We used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and a novel method for detecting subtle changes in fibertract integrity by measuring node-by-node parameters along each tract to compare fibertract profiles between those with migraine and those with persistent post-traumatic headache, and compared both cohorts to a group of controls.
