In this podcast we discuss a new discussion on how we understand the various phases of a migraine attack, and why this understanding is important. (scroll down for podcast player)

After listening, I would like to hear your comments – what has your experience been? Do you agree with this study, or is your experience somewhat different?

For more information on measuring changes in the body during these phases, and the discussion in general about phases, you can read: Redefining migraine phases – a suggestion based on clinical, physiological, and functional imaging evidence from the journal of the International Headache Society, Cephalalgia.

Also mentioned in this podcast is The International Classification of Headache Disorders 3.

This is a less technical and more personal podcast about my own experience at a sleep clinic.  I went for a sleep study (technically called a Polysomnography or PSG)  and recorded my impressions from before the study until after I had received the results.  Hopefully this will be a help to anyone considering having the study done.

For a text summary of what the sleep study is about, try the Mayo Clinic articles: Polysomnography (sleep study), or quick summary at UKHealthCentre with links to UK sleep clinics.  Also, a summary from a clinic in Australia specializing in PSGs for children.
