First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study uses advanced MRI scans and artificial intelligence to investigate small brain spots called white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in women with migraine. Researchers aim to tell these spots apart from those caused by other conditions like multiple sclerosis or small vessel disease. The study involves 50 women and does not test any drug or treatment.
