Resumo(s)
Migraine is a ubiquitous disorder that affects 15% of the world population, particularly women during their most productive years. Migraine produces a variety of symptoms, but its most common presentation consists
of recurrent attacks of disabling headaches associated to nausea and intolerance to all sensory stimuli. During attacks, patients often experience cognitive difficulties, with poor ability to concentrate or think clearly, and are unable to deal with multiple tasks. The cause of this transient cognitive dysfunction is not known but has been
attributed to the complex and widespread brain dysfunction underlying the development
of the attacks, because it cannot be simply explained by pain. In fact, it is not observed
in other primary headaches, and the cognitive difficulties are often present during the
premonitory and resolution phases of migraine, i.e., both before the onset and after the
resolution of pain.
