| Abstract: | SYNOPSIS Auditory brainstem evoked potentials (ABEP's) using the routine 10 per second click rate, and also a 55 persecond stimulus rate, were studied in 17 migraine patients between and during attacks, and in 20 normal subjects.Only in the "migraine during attack" group did the increased stimulus rate change the ABEP's. Similar changeswith increased stimulus rates may be seen in situations of ischemic synaptic dysfunction. Thus, our data supporta vascular pathogenesis of migraine. |
