Altered Hypothalamic Region Covariance in Migraine and Cluster Headache: A Structural MRI Study.

CONCLUSION: Recent evidence suggests hypothalamic region connectivity to frontal and temporal areas to be relevant for regulating pain perception. Thus, the diminished structural covariance in migraineurs and CH might suggest abnormal functioning of the pain control circuitry and contribute to mechanisms underlying central sensitization and chronification of pain.
