Brain Excitability in Tension-Type Headache: a Separate Entity from Migraine?

This study provided evidence that TTH and migraine differ in excitability profiles and the measurement of preactivatio n excitability was able to discriminate TTH from migraine.SummaryEarlier studies on brain excitability of TTH yielded negative findings or a common change shared with migraine. Future studies using strict diagnostic criteria to avoid the unwanted interference from migraine comorbidity may help decipher the “true” pathophysiology of TTH, which may pave the way to a TTH-specific brain signature and treatment.
