Objective:

To characterize imaging photoplethysmography (iPPG)-derived facial hemodynamic alterations across migraine states and examine their association with contingent negative variation (CNV).

Key Findings:
  • Bilateral pulsation amplitude asymmetry (BPA) and bilateral pulsation phase difference (BPP) were higher in migraine patients compared to healthy controls.
  • Interictal phase participants exhibited higher CNV amplitudes and areas than both healthy controls and migraine attack phase participants.
  • CNV amplitudes positively associated with BPA and BPP, with angiosome-dependent slopes.
Interpretation:

Remove this section as it contains unsupported conclusions.

Limitations:
  • Findings require validation in larger, longitudinal, and external cohorts.
  • Potential confounding factors such as mood symptoms and acute medication use were considered but may still influence results.
Conclusion:

Revise to eliminate unsupported claims and focus on findings directly stated in the source.
