Migraine: fusional-eye movement stress

Friedman N

Journal of the American Optometric Association, 1977

Abstract

This paper indicates that the sources of migraine have always been in doubt, from ancient times when physicians first described the syndrome of migraine without clarifying it sources to the present day when physicians, still in some doubt, contend that excess of such substances as acetylcholine or serotonin may trigger the migraine. This paper argues that dynamic binocular seeing, normally a stress function, excites the migraine headache, primarily, howver, among visual pain sensitive individuals. Cases are offered whose migraine is relieved by creating a finer binocular seeing balance through fusion-eye movement training with the V.T. Reading Aid.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
