Abstract

An impaired neurovascular coupling has been described as a possible player in neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Migraine is a recurrent and incapacitating disorder that starts early in life and has shown neurovascular coupling abnormalities. Despite its high prevalence, the physiology and underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. In this context, new biomarkers from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are needed to bring new knowledge into the field. The aim of this study was to determine the vein density from Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging (SWI) MRI, in subjects with migraine and healthy controls; and to assess whether it relates to Resting-State functional MRI (RS-fMRI).
