A recent study found that changes in retinal blood flow could explain visual symptoms in migraine patients, serving as a possible observable marker of migraines. The study used non-invasive imaging techniques to visualize blood vessel changes in the retinas of migraine patients during and between attacks.
The findings may explain the mechanisms behind the visual symptoms experienced by migraine patients, providing information for clinical treatment of the condition. Asymmetric retinal blood flow was also correlated with the side of the head where patients experienced pain, indicating a potential link between blood flow and migraine symptoms.
The study was conducted at the University of California, Los Angeles and published in The Journal of Head and Face Pain.
