QUIROZ PADILLA, María Fernanda et al. Differences in Executive Functions applied to memory processes in people with Migraine: a Cross-Sectional Study. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.spe5, pp.1-11. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy15-5.defa.
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to identify differences in memory processes and the role of executive functions in memory, in people with migraine and in a control group. Neuropsychological evaluation was made in one session on 63 participants distributed into interictal migraine -with-aura (n = 24), interictal migraine-without-aura (n = 16) and control (n = 23) groups. ANOVAs on the individual tasks revealed statistically significant differences between groups on Rey-Osterrieth direct and percentile copy strategy and recall (both p < 0.001). Differences were identified between control and migraine groups in performance on the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure, but not on other memory tasks, suggesting the existence of brain dysfunctions in people with migraine affecting organizational and planning abilities that are necessary for visual memory.
