Women who have migraines are more likely to accumulate brain lesions than those who don’t suffer from the debilitating headaches, according to a Dutch study that suggests more research is needed to determine what they mean.
While it’s not clear what causes the damage, seen in the connective fibers of the brain or white matter, the good news is that they don’t seem to result in long-term harm to the brain, researchers said in the study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
