Excerpt

Migraine is a primary headache with recurrent attacks of head pain with associated symptoms like nausea, phonophobia, and photophobia. Osmophobia, although not included in diagnostic criteria, seems to be a very migraine-specific symptom[1]. Cutaneous allodynia (CA) is also a common symptom in migraine, especially when frequency of attacks is high. CA is considered a clinical manifestation of central sensitization, a mechanism involved in migraine chronification[2]. Recent works put in evidence a relationship between the presence of osmophobia and CA in migraineurs[3]. This study was aimed to investigate possible clinical elements able to influence the relationship between osmophobia and allodynia in migraine. …
