Implications of Clinical Subtypes of Migraine With Aura

Abstract

The present study proves that distinct subtypes of migraine with aura exist. It further underlines the phenotypic differences between the different subtypes of migraine with aura which likely are caused by different etiological mechanisms. In future studies FHM, SHM, and NHMA therefore should be analyzed as separate entities and patients with NHMA may be stratified by ICHD-2 subtype of NHMA.
