||
08:00-08:50 |
Migraine with aura and migraine without aura are the same disease. |
||
|
Capsule: It is often debated whether migraine with aura and migraine without aura are etiologically distinct disorders. Do they share common pathophysiological pathways, such as cortical spreading depression, blood flow changes, and genotype? |

Does the blood brain barrier (BBB) open during a migraine attack? |
||
|
Capsule: Disruption of the BBB and inflammation are important contributors to the pathogenesis of neurological disorders. Although inflammation has been implicated in migraine pathogenesis, it is not known whether barrier integrity is compromised during attacks. |

Cognitive-behavioral therapy and biofeedback training are as effective as preventive medication in some patients. |
||
|
Capsule: Medication and psychological intervention are often used in primary headache disorders. Can cognitive-behavioral therapy and biofeedback training replace preventive medication including CGRP blockers? |

Monoclonal antibodies to CGRP will become first line treatment not only for migraine but also for episodic cluster headache. |
||

Thunderclap headache: Do we need more than head CT and lumbar puncture? |
