      Abstract Background Oxygen inhalation aborts cluster headache attacks, and case reports show the effect of continuous positive airway pressure. The aim of this study was to investigate the prophylactic effect of continuous ...
    • Effects of insufficient sleep on sensorimotor processing in migraine. A randomised, blinded crossover study of event related beta oscillations 

      Mykland, Martin Syvertsen; Uglem, Martin; Bjørk, Marte-Helene; Matre, Dagfinn; Sand, Trond Halfdan; Omland, Petter Moe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background Migraine has a largely unexplained connection with sleep and is possibly related to a dysfunction of thalamocortical systems and cortical inhibition. In this study we investigate the effect of insufficient sleep ...
    • FollowTheSutures: Piloting a new way to administer onabotulinumtoxinA for chronic migraine. 

      Stovner, Lars Jacob; Hagen, Knut; Tronvik, Erling Andreas; Gravdahl, Gøril Bruvik; Burstein, Rami; Dodick, David W. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Background Anatomical and experimental data indicate that onabotulinimtoxin A could be more efficient and cost-effective for treating chronic migraine with injections targeting the cranial sutures, where collaterals from ...
    • Forecasting migraine with machine learning based on mobile phone diary and wearable data 

      Stubberud, Anker; Ingvaldsen, Sigrid Hegna; Brenner, Eiliv; Winnberg, Ingunn Grøntveit; Olsen, Alexander; Gravdahl, Gøril Bruvik; Matharu, Manjit Singh; Nachev, Parashkev; Tronvik, Erling Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Introduction Triggers, premonitory symptoms and physiological changes occur in the preictal migraine phase and may be used in models for forecasting attacks. Machine learning is a promising option for such predictive ...
    • Insufficient sleep may alter cortical excitability near the migraine attack: A blinded TMS crossover study 

      Mykland, Martin Syvertsen; Uglem, Martin; Stovner, Lars Jacob; Brenner, Eiliv; Snoen, Mari Storli; Gravdahl, Gøril Bruvik; Sand, Trond Halfdan; Omland, Petter Moe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background Migraine is a brain disorder with a multifaceted and unexplained association to sleep. Brain excitability likely changes periodically throughout the migraine cycle. In this study we examine the effect of ...
    • Is pituitary MRI screening necessary in cluster headache? 

      Grangeon, Lou; OConnor, Emer; Danno, Daisuke; Ngoc, Thanh Mai Pham; Cheema, Sanjay; Tronvik, Erling Andreas; Davagnanam, Indran; Matharu, Manjit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Objective To determine the prevalence and clinical predictors of pituitary adenomas in cluster headache patients, in order to determine the necessity of performing dedicated pituitary magnetic resonance imaging in patients ...
    • Mitochondrial genome-wide association study of migraine – the HUNT Study 

      Børte, Sigrid; Zwart, John-Anker; Skogholt, Anne Heidi; Gabrielsen, Maiken Elvestad; Thomas, Laurent; Fritsche, Lars G; Surakke, Ida; Nielsen, Jonas B.; Zhou, Wei; Wolford, Brooke; Vigeland, Magnus Dehli; Hagen, Knut; Kristoffersen, Espen Saxhaug; Nyholt, Dale R; Chasman, Daniel I; Brumpton, Ben Michael; Willer, Christen; Winsvold, Bendik K S (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background Variation in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been indicated in migraine pathogenesis, but genetic studies to date have focused on candidate variants, with sparse findings. We aimed to perform the first mitochondrial ...
    • Nutcracker syndrome mimicking new daily persistent headache: A case report 

      Stubberud, Anker; Cheema, Sanjay; Tronvik, Erling Andreas; Matharu, Manjit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Introduction Compression of the duodenum and left renal vein between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery usually leads to symptoms of proximal bowel obstruction or hematuria and, more rarely, nonspecific mild ...
    • Onabotulinum toxin A block of the sphenopalatine ganglion in patients with persistent idiopathic facial pain: a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled, exploratory, cross-over study 

      Jamtøy, Kent Are; Thorstensen, Wenche Moe; Stovner, Lars Jacob; Rosén, Annika; Maarbjerg, Stine; Bratbak, Daniel Fossum; Simpson, Melanie Rae; Tronvik, Erling Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of injecting onabotulinum toxin A (BTA) towards the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) using the MultiGuide® in patients with persistent idiopathic facial pain (PIFP). Methods This ...
    • Parental migraine in relation to migraine in offspring: Family linkage analyses from the HUNT Study 

      Børte, Sigrid; Zwart, John-Anker; Stensland, Synne; Hagen, Knut; Winsvold, Bendik K S (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Background Migraine is known to run in families. While some clinical studies have indicated that migraine is disproportionally transmitted through the maternal line, this has not been examined in a population-based ...
    • White matter hyperintensities and headache: A population-based imaging study (HUNT MRI)
