Autonomic disturbances in spinal cord lesions

Abstract
Key points Migraine is considered a neurovascular disorder. - Cerebrovascular regulatory dysfunction may be implicated in migraine pathophysiology. - Cerebrovascular regulation is complex and involves autonomic, trigeminovascular, endothelial, and humoral factors. - Some studies of autonomic regulation in migraine suggest parasympathetic hypofunction. - NO and calcitonin-gene-related peptide may be important transmitters in migraine. - A further understanding of autonomic involvement and the molecular mechanisms of migraine seems near and new therapies are likely to evolve.
