Summary

This trial is investigating whether WMH are more common in women with migraines, and if so, what characteristics they have.

Who is the study for?
This study is specifically for women aged 20-45 who have white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on their brain MRI, which can be related to conditions like migraines or small vessel disease.
What is being tested?
The trial is focused on using brain neuroimaging techniques to investigate the presence and characteristics of WMH in women suffering from migraines.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive brain imaging, there are minimal side effects. Participants may experience discomfort from lying still during the MRI procedure.

Group II: Multiple sclerosis (MS) cohortExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Women diagnosed with MS and presence of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will have brain neuroimaging.
Group III: Migraine cohortExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Women with migraine and presence of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will have brain neuroimaging.
