  It is suspected that the pathophysiology of migraine has a relation to the autonomic dysfunction. We studied to assess the autonomic function in migraine using the spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) by accelerated plethysmography (APG). Five-hundred-twenty-four patients received the health check-ups in an affiliated hospital since September, 2011 to April, 2013. Eighty-three patients with headache and 38 controls were enrolled in this study. The patients were subdivided into 19 with migraine (19 female), 26 with tension-type headache (TTH) (7 male, 19 female) and 31 of other headaches using a questionnaire based on the International Classification of Headache Disorders 2nd Edition. Patients with migraine or tension-type headache underwent examinations using APG with an orthostatic load. Twenty-four controls without headache received same examinations. As a result, the s..
