This research study is investigating why people with migraine with aura—a type of migraine that includes visual or sensory warning signs—often have a patent foramen ovale (PFO), which is a small natural opening in the heart wall that doesn't close after birth. Researchers want to understand the genetic and blood flow differences between people with migraine and aura who have a PFO and those who don't, to learn whether certain genes might explain why these two conditions occur together.
People with migraine with aura have a higher stroke risk than others, and many of them also have a PFO, but doctors don't fully understand why these conditions are connected. This study aims to uncover the genetic and heart function factors that might explain this link, which could eventually help protect people with migraine from stroke.

You will attend study visits where researchers will take blood samples for genetic testing and perform heart ultrasound scans (a painless imaging test) to check for a PFO and measure blood flow patterns. The study will also review your medical history and migraine symptoms. This is an observational study, meaning researchers are studying your condition and collecting information rather than testing a new medication or treatment.
