We studied the excitability of the motor cortex using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in 12 patients with migraine with aura (MA) and nine patients with familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM). Motor thresholds at rest, the duration of the cortical and peripheral silent period and intracortical inhibition and facilitation using paired-pulse TMS at intervals of 2 to 15 ms were measured with patients free of attacks for at least 48 h. In contrast to previous reports we could not find any significant differences between patient groups and compared to controls (n=17) in the parameters tested. The results suggest that there are no interictal changes of excitability of the motor cortex in migraine. This study does not support the concept of general cortical hyperexcitability in migraine secondary to a genetic predisposition or a structural alteration of inhibitory interneurones in the cortex due to repeated parenchymal insults during attacks.
