[Clinical aspects and treatment of migraine].

The paper is concerned with clinical, therapeutical and classification problems of migraine. A "vegetative" form of migraine is distinguished characterized by a vegetovascular crisis in the disease episodes. Clinico-psychophysiological characteristics are provided for 30 patients with common and 40 with vegetative migraine. The latter run seems more severe with frequent episodes, permanent vegetative disorders in the episodes-free period, marked emotional symptoms (hypochondriac, demonstrative and anxious). In addition to clinico-neurological, questionnaire and thermographic methods, the study employed visual analog pain scale, tests of segmentary vegetative apparatuses (6 cardiovascular tests and time of pupil cycle), psychological tests (MIL, Spilberger's). Differential approaches to migraine forms are advocated, basic principles of optimal therapy of migraine cephalalgia are formulated.
