Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Migraine and post-traumatic headache (PTH) are two common debilitating neurological disorders associated with high socioeconomic impact on patients, healthcare systems, and society. Although distinct in their etiologies, a growing body of evidence supports overlapping mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and therapeutic challenges. This Special Issue aims to shed light on both disorders and explore novel diagnostic and management options.
By fostering collaboration among researchers and clinicians, and bringing together leading experts in the field worldwide, we seek to advance our understanding of the neural mechanism of migraine and PTH, identify potential biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis, explore the impact on quality of life, and develop innovative treatments for both disorders. This Special Issue aims to cover various topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Epidemiology on migraine and PTH;
- Pathophysiology and neurodiagnostic findings;
- Comorbidities;
- Genetics and epigenetics;
- Preventive and acute treatment strategies;
- Neuromodulation.
