Synopsis

Keywords: Structural Connectivity, fMRI Analysis

Motivation: Resting state fMRI is a potential method for studying migraine without aura (MwoA), its application in MwoA patients from middle and high altitude areas remains rare.

Goal(s): To explore the characteristics and significance of changes in brain function during interictal periods in MwoA patients from mid-to-high altitude areas

Approach: Two analytical techniques were employed: Regional Homogeneity (ReHo) and Amplitude of Low-Frequency Fluctuation (ALFF).

Results: ALFF and ReHo assessments revealed abnormal spontaneous neural activity in several brain regions of MwoA patients in mid-to-high altitude areas.

Impact: Cerebral functional changes in MwoA patients from mid-to-high altitude areas suggest that rs-fMRI is a promising method for studying MwoA, and this study addresses the international research gap in this field.
