Study information

Primary study designObservational
Study designObservational, parallel group, case-control study
Secondary study designCase-control study
Scientific titleSubclinical cerebellar dysfunction in patients with migraine
Study objectivesMigraine patients, compared with healthy volunteers, have more subclinical cerebellar dysfunctions, measured by the eye-blinker.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMigraine with aura
InterventionThe difference in the conditioning, between migraineurs and healthy volunteers, is measured by using the eyeblinker. The technique is called the chip-MDMT (Magnetic Distant Measurement Technique). A magnet will be placed on the right eyelid. A sensor will be placed below the right eye. So the length, the power and the time of each blink is measured. The test will consist of eight trials of six minutes. A conditioned response will be generated by using airpuffs and tones.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

The conditioning as measured with eyeblink between migraine patients and controls.

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

1. The sensitivity of the trigeminus system by migraine patients compared with controls: do the results of the disturbed conditioned corresponds to a coordination disorder measured by the sway-test?
2. The relations between the controls, the migraine patients and the patients with a degenerative disease
