Synergistic but separable sensory changes in postural tachycardia syndrome and chronic migraine.

Authors

Abstract

Up to 90% of patients with postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) report headaches, and comorbid migraine headaches are common. Given this, pathophysiological interaction is possible, which may reveal key aspects of disease expression and treatment opportunities. We hypothesized that PoTS subjects-both with and without migraine-would show features of central sensitization, including allodynia and photophobia.
