Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Migraine is a multifaceted neurological disorder that extends far beyond the boundaries of headache. In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to its complex network of comorbidities, ranging from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders to psychiatric, metabolic, gastrointestinal, and autoimmune conditions. These comorbidities not only increase the overall disease burden and reduce quality of life but also provide crucial insights into the shared biological pathways linking migraine with systemic dysfunction.
This Special Issue, “Comorbidities of Migraine: Clinical and Research Perspectives”, will provide a comprehensive platform for the exchange of new data and conceptual advances on the multidimensional nature of migraine. We invite submissions addressing epidemiological trends, genetic and molecular mechanisms, neuroinflammatory and neuroendocrine pathways, and the bidirectional interactions between migraine and its comorbid conditions. Contributions exploring novel therapeutic targets, personalized treatment strategies, or multidisciplinary approaches integrating neurology, internal medicine, and psychiatry are particularly welcome.
By combining clinical observations with experimental research, this Special Issue will promote a more integrated understanding of migraine and its systemic implications, fostering translational insights to improve both prevention and care.
Dr. Claudio Tana
Guest Editor
