Description
Understanding the pathophysiology of head pain is an essential prerequisite for unraveling enigmas related to the clinical management of primary headaches. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is now sufficiently sophisticated to provide data for testing hypotheses about the pathophysiology of chronic and primary headache forms generated from clinical and other observations. The aim of this paper is to assess the use of fMRI in headache pathophysiology considered an imbalance between behavioral and pain responses.
