Surface-based morphometry studies of somatosensory cortical thickness in migraine patients.
| Study | Subjects | Reported findings |
|---|---|---|
| DaSilva et al., Neurology 2007 | MA: 12, MO: 12, HC: 12 | Thicker SSC in migraine patients (MA and MO) vs. HC |
| Datta et al., Cephalalgia 2011 | MA: 28:, MO: 28, HC: 28 | No differences between groups |
| Maleki et al., Brain 2012 | (MA + MO): 11, HC: 11 | No difference in SSC thickness between groups |
| Maleki et al., Cephalalgia 2012 | LF = (1 MA + 9 MO with attack frequency 1–2/month), HF = (1 MA + 9 MO with attack frequency 8–14/month), HC: 20 |
SSC thickness: HF > LF, HC > LF, HF > HC |
| Messina et al., Radiology 2013 | MA: 32:, MO: 31, HC: 18 | No differences in SSC thickness between groups |
| Magon et al., J Headache Pain 2014 (abstract) | MA: 39, MO: 92, HC: 115 | Thinner SSC in migraine patients (MA and MO) vs. HC |
| Kim et al., Cephalalgia 2014 | MO: 56, HC: 34 | Thicker SSC in migraine patients vs. HC |
| Present study | MA: 60, HC: 60 | Thinner SSC in migraine patients vs. HC |
MA: Migraine with aura, MO: Migraine without aura, HC: Healthy controls, LF: Low frequency, HF: High frequency, SSC: Somatosensory cortex.
