The results suggest that menstrual-related migraine is associated with cerebral hyperconnection and hyperperfusion in critical pain-processing brain regions. Furthermore, this elevated cerebral activity is correlated with different aspects of functional impairment in MRM patients suggesting that perfusion analysis, along with whole-brain connectivity analysis, can provide a comprehensive understanding of neural mechanisms of MRM.
