Migraine: A chronic sympathetic nervous system disorder (Peroutka, 2004)
CITATION WITHOUT FORMATTING: Peroutka, S. J. (2004). Migraine: A chronic sympathetic nervous system disorder. Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, 44(1), 53-64.
- migraine has many features in common with chronic sympathetic nervous system (SNS) disorders
- when not experiencing migraines, migraineurs have reduced sympathetic function compared with non-migraineurs
- there are strong links between SNS dysfunction and migraines
- migraines are very similar to two SNS disorders: pure autonomic failure (PAF) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). Together, these three disorders have many overlapping symptoms *can use point to illustrate how closely related migraines are with SNS dysfunction*
- while SNS dysfunction can cause migraines in some people, others might not experience them
