Women with migraine and presence of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will have brain neuroimaging.
Women diagnosed with SVI disease and presence of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will have brain neuroimaging.
Women diagnosed with MS and presence of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will have brain neuroimaging.
