Understanding the Connection between the Glymphatic System and Migraine: A Systematic Review: Myoung-Jin Cha, Kyung Wook Kang, Jung-won Shin, Hosung Kim, Jiyoung Kim; Headache Pain Res. 2024;25(2):86-95. Published online July 31, 2024; DOI: https://doi.org/10.62087/hpr.2024.0014

Abstract PDF: The glymphatic system is a brain-wide perivascular pathway that functions similarly to the lymphatic system in the periphery of the body, playing a crucial role in removing waste from the brain. Although impaired glymphatic function has a well-known relationship with neurodegenerative diseases through abnormal protein accumulation, it is also associated with migraine. While still in its nascent phase, research on the glymphatic system in migraine patients is gradually increasing. This systematic literature review focuses on studies investigating the glymphatic system in migraineurs. Furthermore, it examines the methods used to evaluate the glymphatic system in these studies and their main findings.

Migraine and Stroke: Myoung-Jin Cha, Ha Yeun Oh, Jiyoung Kim; Korean J Headache. 2023;24(2):50-55. Published online December 31, 2023

Abstract PDF: The relationship between migraine and stroke is intricate and bidirectional. Migraine, a neurological disorder characterized by severe headaches and associated symptoms, exhibits some similarities in presentation with stroke. Conversely, stroke can at times mimic migraine symptoms. Migrainous infarction is directly associated with stroke. Specifically, migraine with aura has been linked to an increased risk of ischemic stroke. Migraine with aura and the frequency of headaches are considered risk factors for stroke. Moreover, migraine is associated with subclinical infarct-like brain lesions and white matter changes. Additionally, some genetic disorders predispose individuals to develop both migraine and stroke. In this review, we aim to investigate the relationship between migraine and stroke.

Diagnosis and Exclusion of Dangerous Headache in Headache Clinic Patients: Jiyoung Kim, Kyoung Jin Hwang; Korean J Headache. 2023;24(1):11-16. Published online June 30, 2023

Abstract PDF: There are many different types of headaches, but they can be broadly classified as primary and secondary headaches. The Diagnosis of Headaches involves understanding the epidemiology of headaches, identifying the signs of secondary headaches, and applying the diagnostic criteria outlined in the International Classification of Headache Disorders. Clinicians should have a clear understanding of SNNOOP10 to indicate secondary headache. Furthermore, the evaluation of patients who present with a thunderclap headache should be conducted with great care and detail.
