Journal ArticleDOI
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) of the visual cortex: a proof-of-concept study based on interictal electrophysiological abnormalities in migraine
Alessandro Viganò,Alessandro Viganò,Tullia Sasso d'Elia,Tullia Sasso d'Elia,Simona Sava,Maurie Auvé,Victor De Pasqua,Alfredo Colosimo,Vittorio Di Piero,Jean Schoenen,Delphine Magis +10 more
TL;DR: Preventive treatment with anodal tDCS turned out to be beneficial in MoA and proofing the concept that the low preactivation level of the visual cortex in migraine patients can be corrected by an activating neurostimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pearls and pitfalls: Electrophysiology for primary headaches
Delphine Magis,Alessandro Viganò,Simona Sava,Tullia Sasso d'Elia,Jean Schoenen,Gianluca Coppola +5 more
TL;DR: This article will review the most important findings of electrophysiological studies in primary headache pathophysiology, especially migraine, on which numerous studies have been published.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cerebral responses and role of the prefrontal cortex in conditioned pain modulation: an fMRI study in healthy subjects.
Volodymyr B. Bogdanov,Volodymyr B. Bogdanov,Alessandro Viganò,Quentin Noirhomme,Olena V. Bogdanova,Nathalie Guy,Steven Laureys,Perry F. Renshaw,Radhouane Dallel,Christophe Phillips,Jean Schoenen +10 more
TL;DR: Individual differences in conditioned pain modulation are related to different levels of prefrontal cortical activation by the early part of the conditioning stimulus, possibly due todifferent levels in trait anxiety.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alice in Wonderland Syndrome: A Clinical and Pathophysiological Review.
TL;DR: The final part of this review aims to find the relationship between AIWS symptoms, presenting a pathophysiological model and Alterations in these brain regions may cause the cooccurrence of dysmetropsia and disorders of body schema.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of migraine characteristics in joint hypermobility syndrome a.k.a. Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type
Francesca Puledda,Alessandro Viganò,Claudia Celletti,Barbara Petolicchio,Massimiliano Toscano,Edoardo Vicenzini,Marco Castori,Guido Laudani,Donatella Valente,Filippo Camerota,Vittorio Di Piero +10 more
TL;DR: Jointhypermobility syndrome and Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type patients have a more severe headache syndrome with respect to the MO group, therefore demonstrating that migraine has a very high impact on quality of life in this disease.
