Abstract Details

Static and Dynamic Functional Connectivity Differences in Migraine compared to Healthy Controls

To interrogate differences in static and dynamic resting-state functional connectivity (rs-fc) between migraine patients and healthy controls, and to determine whether rs-fc associates with migraine burden (headache frequency, years lived with migraine) and hypersensitivity symptoms (cutaneous allodynia, photosensitivity, phonosensitivity).

Migraine patients have alterations in static fc in regions involved with pain-processing. However, differences in dynamic fc, which measures how connectivity between regions fluctuates over time are insufficiently understood in migraine.

Static and dynamic rs-fc for 65 migraine patients and 64 age- and sex-balanced healthy controls were assessed for 67 regions of interest that are involved in pain-processing. Relationships between abnormal rs-fc with migraine burden and hypersensitivity symptoms were explored.

Patients with migraine had weaker static and more variability in dynamic fc between regions of the pain-matrix. No overlap was found between static and dynamic region-to-region alterations. For migraine patients, there was a 1) negative relationship between hyperacusis and static ventromedial prefrontal-parieto-occipital fc; 2) positive relationship between headache frequency and middle frontal-cuneus dynamic fc; 3) positive relationship of headache frequency with hypothalamus-amygdala and hypothalamus-primary somatosensory dynamic fc. Post-hoc comparisons revealed stronger static and fluctuating dynamic visual network connectivity in migraine with aura compared to migraine without aura.

Migraine is associated with weaker static rs-fc and altered dynamic rs-fc amongst regions commonly involved in pain-processing. In migraine there were significant associations between static fc with hyperacusis and between dynamic fc with headache burden. The unique patterns of static and dynamic fc aberrations in migraine suggest that they measure different neurophysiological properties of migraine. Post-hoc comparisons between MwA and MwoA show fc alterations in the visual processing stream potentially indicating that aura may alter static and dynamic visual network connectivity.
