“…Approximately 3/4 of migraine patients report interictal hypersensitivity to sound. [19] Quantitative testing shows that the interictal migraineur is more sensitive to sound compared to the non-migraine control and that the migraine patient is even more sensitive to sound during a migraine attack compared to the interictal period. [14, 19–20]…”

Purpose of Review Migraine attacks consist of head pain and hypersensitivities to somatosensory, visual, auditory and olfactory stimuli. Investigating how the migraine brain simultaneously processes and responds to multiple incoming stimuli may yield insights into migraine pathophysiology and migraine symptoms. Recent Findings The presence and intensity of hypersensitivity to one stimulus type are positively associated with the presence and intensity of hypersensitivities to other stimuli and to headache intensity. Furthermore, exposure to visual, auditory and olfactory stimuli can trigger migraine attacks. These relationships suggest a role for multisensory integration in migraine. Summary Multisensory integration of somatosensory, visual, auditory and olfactory stimuli by the migraine brain may be an important concept for understanding migraine.

“…Hypersensitivity of the special senses during migraine attacks may be due to loss of normal inhibitory controls, resulting in increased sensory discomfort and aggravation of headache (Drummond, 1997). This sensitivity to light and noise persists to some extent during the headache-free interval (Drummond, 1986;Vanagaite et al, 1997;Vingen et al, 1998).…”

The brainstem is a structurally complex region, containing numerous ascending and descending fibres that converge on centres that regulate bodily functions essential to life. Afferent input from the cranial tissues and the special senses is processed, in part, in brainstem nuclei. In addition, brainstem centres modulate the flow of pain messages and other forms of sensory information to higher regions of the brain, and influence the general excitability of these cortical regions. Thus, disruptions in brainstem processing might evoke a complex range of unpleasant symptoms, vegetative changes and neurovascular disturbances and that, together, form attacks of migraine. Migraine is linked with various co-morbid conditions, the most prominent being motion sickness. Symptoms such as nausea, dizziness and headache are common to motion sickness and migraine; moreover, migraine sufferers have a heightened vulnerability to motion sickness. As both maladies involve reflexes that relay in the brainstem, symptoms may share the same neural circuitry. In consequence, subclinical interictal persistence of disturbances in these brainstem pathways could not only increase vulnerability to recurrent attacks of migraine but also increase susceptibility to motion sickness. Mechanisms that mediate symptoms of motion sickness and migraine are explored in this paper. The physiology of motion sickness and migraine is discussed, and neurotransmitters that may be involved in the manifestation of symptoms are reviewed. Recent findings have shed light on the relationship between migraine and motion sickness, and provide insights into the generation of migraine attacks.

“…Light exposure is not only able to worsen a migraine attack, but also to trigger it [1], and migraine patients commonly report a lower discomfort threshold to light exposure than healthy subjects [2]. Besides photophobia, an abnormal sensitivity to loud auditory stimuli seems to be a migraine marker, both during attacks and interictally [3,4]. Osmophobia and taste abnormalities have been described as very specific of migraine attacks [5], and osmophobia is also considered as a reliable marker for migraine [6].…”

Electrophysiological response patterns of primary sensory cortices in migraine

Migraine is an ictal disorder characterised by a particular vulnerability of patients to sensory overload, both during and outside of the attack. Central nervous system dysfunctions are supposed to play a pivotal role in migraine. Electroneurophysiological methods, which aim to investigate sensory processing, seem thus particularly appropriate to study the pathophysiology of migraine. We have thus reviewed evoked potential studies performed in migraine patients. Although results are in part contradictory, these studies nonetheless demonstrate an interictal dysfunction of sensory cortices, and possibly of subcortical structures, in migraine with and without aura. The predominant abnormality is a deficient habituation of evoked responses to repeated stimuli, probably due to cortical, and possibly widespread neural, "dysexcitability".
