Subtle Grey Matter Changes Between Migraine Patients and Healthy Controls
Abstract
Local morphological alterations of the brain have recently been detected in cluster headache and chronic tension-type headache, but not in migraine. We investigated 35 patients suffering from migraine and compared them with 31 healthy controls with no headache history. Using magnetic resonance imaging and voxel based morphometry, we found a significant decrease of grey matter in areas ascribable to the transmission of pain (cingulate cortex), but not in areas specific for migraine, such as the brainstem. Our data are in line with recent findings in chronic pain states, such as chronic phantom pain and chronic back pain. We suggest that the grey matter change in migraine patients is the consequence of frequent nociceptive input and should thus be reversible when migraine attacks cease.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
