Spectral EEG analysis and flunarizine treatment in migraine patients

Cephalalgia. 1988:8 Suppl 8:31-3. doi: 10.1177/03331024880080S807.

Abstract

Spectral EEG analysis has been successfully utilized in previous studies on migraine patients. The aim of our study was to evaluate, by means of EEG mapping, potential correlations between the efficacy of flunarizine treatment in migraine patients and the EEG pattern recorded after chronic flunarizine therapy. Flunarizine was found to modify the non-specific EEG abnormalities of our migraine patients as well as evoke a positive clinical response.
