Abstract

Migraine is a common and disabling brain disorder with no single characteristic which could be used for a definite diagnosis. Usually a combination of different presentations is used as diagnostic criteria which may lead to a challenging feature of underor misdiagnosis and also under-treatment. Diagnostic criteria for migraine usually emphasize on specificity compared to sensitivity which enhances their research values but reduces their clinical worth. The criteria are subjective and the lack of objective tests to confirm migraine diagnosis raises the need of rule out of other diagnoses. For this reason a potential diagnostic biomarker for migraine would certainly find wide application and may improve current severe deficiencies in migraine diagnosis.
