Read our Migraine research guide →Researchers want to understand why people with epilepsy often also suffer from migraines, and why migraines and visual snow syndrome affect similar areas of the brain. This study uses a special high-powered MRI scanner (7T) to take detailed pictures of participants' brains and look for structural differences in people with these conditions compared to healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand what's happening in the brain during these conditions so doctors can eventually develop better treatments.
Migraine and epilepsy frequently occur together, and visual snow syndrome also shares similarities with migraine, but doctors don't yet fully understand why or how these conditions are connected. This study aims to fill that gap by examining the brain's microstructure in people with these conditions.

You likely don't qualify if…
If you qualify, you'll visit the research center for a brain MRI scan using a specialized 7T scanner (a more powerful version than standard hospital MRIs). You'll also complete clinical assessments and questionnaires about your symptoms and medical history. The entire process involves one or more visits where doctors will evaluate your condition and take detailed images of your brain to compare with other participants.
