Abstract

Migraine is a common disorder, affecting many patients. However, for one thing, lacking objective biomarkers, misdiagnosis, and missed diagnosis happen occasionally. For another, though transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) could alleviate migraine symptoms, the individual difference of tVNS efficacy in migraineurs hamper the clinical application of tVNS. Therefore, it is necessary to identify biomarkers to discriminate migraineurs as well as select patients suitable for tVNS treatment.
