| Description |
Photosensitivity is prevalent in patients with migraine and traumatic brain injury and can be debilitating, yet the cause is unknown. Currently there is no objective way diagnose it or monitor the effectiveness of treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine if the photic-electromyogram (photic-EMG), an objective test of light sensitivity, shows an exaggerated response in photo-sensitive patients with either a history of migraine or traumatic brain injury, compared to normal subjects. |
