Abstract
Objective
Cortical spreading depolarization is one possible pathogenesis of migraine, of which slow neurophysiological change is barely recorded in conventional EEG settings. Using wide-band EEG conditions, we reappraised the features of EEG in migraineurs, including subdelta-band EEG changes.
Methods
This retrospective study included 144 patients with migraine. We delineated EEG of focal delta slow (FDS) (1–4 Hz) by time constant (TC) 0.3 s and focal subdelta slow (FSDS) (< 1 Hz) by TC 2 s. Relationships between clinical variables and EEG findings were evaluated.
Results
Of 144 patients, 39 had aura and 105 did not. FSDS and FDS were observed in 38 and 58 patients, respectively. No EEG was recorded during the aura. In multivariate analysis with the phase of migraine, family history, age, and percentage of sleep during EEG recording, the phase of migraine was related to the occurrence of FSDS (postdrome vs interictal, prodrome, and headache respectively (OR = 49.00 [95% CI = 3.89–616.66], 46.28 [2.99–715.78], 32.79 [2.23–481.96], p = 0.0026, 0.0061, 0.011). FDS was clinically unremarkable for differential evaluation.
Conclusions
Wide-band EEG abnormality in migraineurs, i.e., FSDS, can be affected by migraine phase.
Significance
Wide-band EEG finding could be a biomarker related to clinical variables in migraines.
期刊介绍:
As of January 1999, The journal Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, and its two sections Electromyography and Motor Control and Evoked Potentials have amalgamated to become this journal - Clinical Neurophysiology.
Clinical Neurophysiology is the official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Brazilian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Czech Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Italian Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology.The journal is dedicated to fostering research and disseminating information on all aspects of both normal and abnormal functioning of the nervous system. The key aim of the publication is to disseminate scholarly reports on the pathophysiology underlying diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system of human patients. Clinical trials that use neurophysiological measures to document change are encouraged, as are manuscripts reporting data on integrated neuroimaging of central nervous function including, but not limited to, functional MRI, MEG, EEG, PET and other neuroimaging modalities.
