Pain, 10/05/07
Curra, A., et al. - Despite intensive neurophysiological research, evidence is lacking to show whether abnormal cortical excitability in migraine reflects a primary cortical disturbance or reduced control by thalamo-cortical loops. One way to contribute to the scientific discussion on this topic is to deliver transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and test the cortical silent period (SP) recorded in facial muscles. The facial-muscle SP is a purely cortical phenomenon that reflects the excitability of inhibitory interneurons, and can disclose changes in cortical inhibition even in patients without documented primary lesions of the motor cortices
