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.
