Abstract
Migraine with aura and migraine without aura may be different clinical expressions of one disease. This theory is debated, however. In order to further address the issue, we administered a standardized question naire to 45 migraineurs. The results indicate a significant overlap be tween migraine with and without aura, most importantly with respect to response to therapy; 70% of patients had similar responses.
