Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients: - Age: 18-40 years - Patients must meet the diagnostic criteria of migraine with or without ICHD-3 aura - Other types of headache may exist in addition to migraine if they can be classified differently by the patient - Migraine episode frequency 1-14/month. - Migraine history for at least one year. First migraine episode at age <50 years - Headache diary kept for 3 months before and 1 month after the examinations - Voluntary, informed consent to participate in the study Healthy Subjects: - Age: 18-40 years - Voluntary, informed consent to participate in the study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients: - Patients must not have any contraindications to MRI examinations. - Patients must not have claustrophobia in need of treatment - Patients must not be pregnant. This is ensured by a ß-HCG- test in the urine. - Patients should be free of pain for at least 48 hours before the test. No pain medication should be taken. - Patients should not take centrally effective migraine prophylaxis or coanalgesics (especially anticonvulsants) or centrally attenuating substances (especially opioids). - If a migraine episode occurs in the 24 hours after the measurements, the measurement is stratified as preical. - Patients must be free of neurological and psychiatric diseases that could affect the outcome of the study. Subclinical depressive or anxiety-related symptoms manifested in BDI and STAI are not exclusion criteria. The exclusion criterion is a higher degree of anamnestic impairment of kidney or liver function. Test persons: - No relevant history of episodic headache. Freedom from sporadic headaches for at least 4 weeks before measurement. - Test persons must not have any contraindications to MRI examinations. - Test persons must not have claustrophobia requiring treatment - Test subjects must not be pregnant. This is ensured by a ß-HCG test in the urine. - The test persons must be free of neurological and psychiatric diseases that could affect the outcome of the study. Subclinical depressive or anxiety-related symptoms manifested in BDI and STAI are not exclusion criteria. The exclusion criterion is a higher degree of anamnestic impairment of kidney or liver function.
