Migraine with aura (MwA) is a debilitating disorder characterized by paroxysmal attacks of pain preceded or accompanied by reversible neurological symptoms. While the pathophysiology remains unclear, trigeminovascular system activation and cortical spreading depression have been implicated. This study aims to comprehensively investigate and characterize the diverse clinical features and manifestations of aura, as well as the types of acute medications self-administered for aura management.
