  • The 3 assessments are
  1. passive upright tilt table testing,
  2. quantitative sudomotor axon reflex testing (QSART)and
  3. punch biopsy.

The comparison of results will be from two subject groups:

  • Group A, the migraine suffering patient with or without aura
  • Group B, the migraine suffering patient with or without aura who has diagnosed orthostatic intolerance (i.e.,feeling dizzy or faint when making a body position change).
Conditions
Migraine
Keywords
autonomic, orthostatic, syncope, biopsy, prevalence of autonomic dysfunction in migraineurs with orthostatic intolerance, characterize autonomic findings utilizing neurocardiac testing, neurophysiological testing and skin biopsies to analyze autonomic fibers in the dermis
Medical subject headings
