Abstract

Chronic migraine (CM) is a highly disabling primary headache disorder with a substantial impact on patients' quality of life. Episodic migraine (EM) and CM are dynamic states; CM usually evolves from EM alongside increased headache frequency, comorbidities, and medication overuse, supporting the notion that migraine is a spectrum disorder. This narrative review aims to summarize neuroimaging studies to better understand the pathophysiology of CM.
