Migraine is a disabling neurological disorder whose diagnosis is based on clinical criteria. A shortcoming of these criteria is that they do not fully capture the underlying neurobiological factors and sex-specific complications in migraine such as cardio- and cerebrovascular disease. Biomarker research can help to improve disease characterization and identify pathophysiological mechanism underlying these comorbidities.
