Hemiplegic migraine is a rare subtype of migraine with aura, with symptoms affecting vision, speech and language, hearing, and sensory and motor disturbances. Muscle weakness and hemiplegia are defining characteristics of hemiplegic migraines. Compared to patients with typical migraine with aura, patients with hemiplegic migraine tend to have more prolonged aura symptoms. In some cases, reversible unilateral weakness may last days to weeks. The primary objective of this project is to evaluate the response of hemiplegic migraine patients evaluated at Mayo Clinic to onabotulinumtoxinA treatments.
