Abstract
Mitochondrial diseases are complex metabolic disorders caused by genetic mutations and lead to impaired energy production in the mitochondria of cells. The clinical spectrum ranges from severe multiorgan involvement in early childhood to mild monosymptomatic courses in adulthood. The brain, heart, and skeletal muscles are particularly affected due to their high energy demands. Headaches in general and migraine in particular, occur disproportionately more frequently in patients with mitochondrial diseases. In recent years similarities in the pathomechanism of mitochondrial diseases and migraine have been investigated in numerous biochemical, genetic, and therapeutic studies. The results suggest a dysfunctional energy metabolism with demonstrable mitochondrial damage as a central aspect in the pathogenesis of migraine. These findings are valuable for a better understanding of primary headache disorders and mitochondrial diseases as well as for the optimization of diagnostic and treatment procedures and should be applied in the clinical practice.
期刊介绍：
Der Schmerz is an internationally recognized journal and addresses all scientists, practitioners and psychologists, dealing with the treatment of pain patients or working in pain research. The aim of the journal is to enhance the treatment of pain patients in the long run.
Review articles provide an overview on selected topics and offer the reader a summary of current findings from all fields of pain research, pain management and pain symptom management.
Freely submitted original papers allow the presentation of important clinical studies and serve the scientific exchange.
Case reports feature interesting cases and aim at optimizing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
Review articles under the rubric ''Continuing Medical Education'' present verified results of scientific research and their integration into daily practice.
