Using pupillometry and sympathetic skin responses we compared the changes in local and systemic autonomic function within one week of a migraine attack. We investigated whether the measurement of the pupillary light reflex provides further information on the pathophysiology of migraine.Forty-two migraine patients and forty-two healthy age-matched controls were included. The parameters that were measured were the amplitude of the pupillary light reflex, the pupil size at the beginning of the measurement, the latency, the velocity of constriction and the velocity at the end of the dilatation. The average pupil size was 6.43 mm in the migraine group and 6.7 mm in the control group (p < 0.01). Reduced velocity of constriction and smaller amplitude of constriction in migraine patients within two days of an attack were signs of a parasympathetic dysfunction (p < 0.05). The sympathetic skin response did not differ significantly between migraine sufferers and controls. These findings indicate that both parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves supplying the eye are involved in migraine headache presumably due to effects on the pericarotid sympathetic fibers and involvement of trigeminal-parasympathetic reflexes.

“…None of the patients took acute medication more than two times a month. Care was taken that the time interval between the attacks and the recording be at least 5 days, as CNV amplitudes show periodic changes in the migraine interval (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). At each appointment, the influence of the current state of the participants on the CNV was considered by recording the quality and duration of sleep the night before investigation, assessing mood (from 1 to 7), present medications, as well as drug, alcohol and caffeine intake on the day of recording using a standardized questionnaire.…”

“…Habituation was indicated by a negative slope, whereas loss of habituation was marked by a positive slope, as calculated by linear regression (y ¼ ax þ b, where a is the slope of habituation and b the intercept of linear regression) (33). Because only habituation of the iCNV shows relevance in the pathogenesis of migraine, only habituation of the iCNV was considered in this study (5,7,9,11,12). Three areas of interest were defined according to Gomez …”

“…Migraine patients demostrate increased amplitudes and reduced habituation of the CNV (4)(5)(6)(7)(8). These abnormalities were more pronounced several days before a migraine attack, demonstrating attack anticipation and increased susceptibility of the brain to migraine provoking and precipitating factors (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). One may suggest that normalization of the CNV in migraine would contribute to improvement of its clinical course.…”

A quartercentury later the scientific study of psychology also originated in Germany. Over time, however, the focus of psychological research, including the then new field of psychophysiology, shifted to the United States and Great Britain. This trend to the dominance of the United States and Great Britain was prolonged by the devastation of World War II and its aftermath in Germany (and elsewhere in continental Europe). Slowly at first and then more rapidly, German psychological science, including psychophysiology, recovered. For several decades German psychophysiologists have been a major force in psychophysiology. With the publication of the first English edition of this book in 1992, it became essential for electrodermal researchers worldwide again to learn from our German colleagues.When I came into psychophysiology in the mid-1960s, electrodermal activity was the most common system studied. Because of its popularity, a large literature had emerged on the physiological mechanisms producing these changes in the electrical properties of the skin and on the best methodology for recording them. Major reviews and/or chapters had been published or soon were to be published by Peter Venables and Irene Martin, Robert Edelberg, and David Lykken. Later reviews and articles were published by Venables and Margaret Christie, and by me. A chapter in 1990 by Michael Dawson, Anne Schell, and Diane Filion was especially noteworthy for its coverage of the psychological applications of electrodermal measures.Note that all these publications were journal articles and chapters and that most of them focused almost entirely on mechanisms and methodology. The publication of this book, first in German and then in English, provided the first book on electrodermal activity, and one that extensively covers psychological applications as well as mechanisms and methodology. Again to quote David Lykken back in 1992, "The return of German scholarship to what I shall loftily call the high table of psychophysiology is exemplified by this fine book, the most comprehensive treatise on the electrodermal system to appear in any language . . ." I completely agree with v that evaluation. Professor Boucsein's outstanding scholarship has produced a book of such breadth of coverage ...

Are the Periodic Changes of Neurophysiological Parameters During the Pain-Free Interval in Migraine Related to Abnormal Orienting Activity?

Abstract: The abnormal habituation could be explained by the periodic changes of physiological parameters during the pain-free interval. The impaired habituation of early CNV in migraine is associated with increased orienting activity seen only in the central component (AB) of OR.
