This PET study during migraine without aura found a modest decrease in global cerebral flow relative to the migraine-free state.

This PET study indicates that global CBF decreases in response to pain, calling into question the specificity of observed global decreases in CBF in migraine.

This is a series of spontaneous, noninduced migraine visual auras studied with perfusion and diffusion-weighted-imaging, which suggests blood flow during visual aura does not drop to ischaemic levels.
