摘要：

Background and Objectives.-The measurement of cognitive efficiency during migraine has produced conflicting results primarily due to the types of tests used, The objectives of this pilot study were two-fold: to measure cognitive efficiency during migraine, compared to a migraine-free period, and to evaluate the effects of therapy with a 5-HT1 agonist (sumatriptan injection, 6 mg) on the cognitive efficiency of migraineurs during a migraine, Method.-The Headache Care Center-Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics was administered to 10 migraineurs, three times without a migraine, once during a migraine, and three times after administration of sumatriptan injection (6 mg), Results.-The results demonstrated a significant drop in cognitive efficiency during migraine and recovery 15 minutes after therapeutic injection. Conclusions.-This pilot study is the first to document a significant drop in cognitive functioning during migraine and recovery after administration of a migraine-specific medication.
