10. Migraines and TGA: A Potential Connection
In the world of neurology, conditions often intersect in unexpected ways. One such interesting link exists between transient global amnesia (TGA) and migraines.
Several studies have indicated a possible association between migraines and TGA. Some TGA patients report a history of migraines, suggesting that the two might be related. It’s intriguing to note that both migraines and TGA involve temporary neurological symptoms that resolve completely.
The exact nature of this connection is not well understood. Some researchers theorize that the aura phase of migraines, which involves temporary neurological symptoms like visual disturbances, might share similar mechanisms with TGA. However, this is purely hypothetical at this stage.
Interestingly, a small number of TGA cases occur immediately after a migraine. This temporal association, while not proof of causality, hints at a potential link that warrants further investigation.(10)
