Recently, there has been increasing interest in the possible role of the gut microbiota (GM) in the onset of migraine. Our aim was to verify whether bacterial populations associated with intestinal dysbiosis are found in pediatric patients with migraine. We looked for which metabolic pathways, these bacteria were involved and whether they might be associated with gut inflammation and increased intestinal permeability.
