PANDA Migraine: Pediatric vs Adult Neurochemistry Differences Across Migraine
Summary
This study looks at how migraines affect the brain at different ages. We will compare brain imaging of people with chronic migraine (at least 15 headache attack days/month) to those without and we want to compare children/youth and adults. This will help us find differences and similarities between adults and youth with migraine with the expectation that better understanding migraine will lead to better treatments in future. This study will have four groups: 1) children/youth (age 8-18y) with chronic migraine, 2) children/youth (age 8-18 y) without migraine, 3) adults (age 30-50y) with chronic migraine, and 4) adults (age 30-50y) without migraine.
