In this study we investigated the variations of pupillary diameter obtained in different experimental conditions (dark/light adaptation, light reflex, sural nerve stimulation) in a group of migraine patients with unilateral location of pain in almost all the attacks and in healthy controls by means of a TV pupillometric device. The data obtained seems to document the existence in migraine of unbalanced vegetative function ascribable either to a strong sympathetic activity or to a parasympathetic deficiency. Moreover, an involvement of central integrative pathways regulating pupil functioning cannot be excluded.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the variations of pupillary diameter obtained in different experimental conditions (dark/light adaptation, light reflex, sural nerve stimulation) in a group of migraine patients with unilateral location of pain in almost all the attacks and in healthy controls by means of a TV pupillometric device. The data obtained seems to document the existence in migraine of unbalanced vegetative function ascribable either to a strong sympathetic activity or to a parasympathetic deficiency. Moreover, an involvement of central integrative pathways regulating pupil functioning cannot be excluded.File in questo prodotto:
