Detect study New about what is happening in the brains of people who suffer from Migraines When they do not get enough sleep, and showed that the cortex cortex in people with migraine headache responds to pain differently from others when they do not get a good sleep.
The cell cortex consists of a complex gathering of tightly interconnected neurons, which cover the farthest outer part of the brain.
The study was conducted by researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, and its results were published in the magazine CEPHALALGIA last March and wrote the Yurik Alert website.
Migraines are characterized by a vibrant headache, sensor of light, vomiting, nausea, and an increase in sound sensitivity, and migraines are the main cause of disability from practicing daily activities in people between the ages of 16 and 50 years.
“These are important years in one’s life when it comes to studying, higher education and profession. Migraine is a great burden on the individual and society,” says Peter Mo Omland, a postal doctor and physician at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the study researcher.
“It is known that sleep can reduce migraines, and migraine attacks can begin during or after sleep, and many migraine people say that sleep disorder is what stimulates seizures.”
Migraine patients suffer from low sleep quality, increased fatigue during the day, and sleep disorders compared to people who do not have headache. In addition, insomnia is associated with an increase in the risk of migraines.
Sleeping asleep
The test participants sacrificed a lot to help researchers find answers to the question, during two studies, 140 people underwent sleep tests, and they underwent their brains. These tests are fast and safe measurements of what is happening in the brain.
Participants in the study divided two groups, one with migraines, and the other from healthy personnel.
Participants examined twice in different days, all examined after two nights of normal sleep, and after two nights of sleep. All participants were also asked to write notes for their sleep, in addition to using an electronic sleeping device.
During the actual examination, the participants wore a hat with electrical electric poles to plan the brain. Electrical electrical layouts were used to measure brain activity during two types of pain, one by laser and the other with electrical stimulation. In this way, the researchers managed to measure brain activity and study how it dealt with pain signals after a lack of sleep.
“None of this was dangerous, but it was clearly annoying, the mechanisms that are supposed to relieve pain are not exactly as is the case in non -migraine headaches, the pain does not hide as much as it reduces the healthy people,” Umland says.
