The migrainous brain is known to have a series of peculiarity in terms of metabolism, performances, emotions, and pain perception. This particularity seems to involve also the oneiric activity. Aimed to increase our knowledge about this topic, the present study tries to investigate migraineurs’ dreams by both an analytic qualitative and a semiquantitative perspectives. With an ad hoc questionnaire compiled each day at the awakening, we explored the frequency of dreams, the involved sensory system (visual, auditory, olfactory, and gustative), and the fragmentation of sleep. We found a higher frequency of dreams among migraineurs, partially linked to sleep discontinuation. The most relevant qualitative difference that emerged was the absolute higher frequency of gustative and olfactory dreams among migraineurs. All these peculiar characteristics were typical of the patients without aura, whereas the subgroup with aura did not differ from controls.

偏头痛梦中的感觉方式：使用每日问卷的病例对照研究。

众所周知，偏头痛脑在新陈代谢、表现、情绪和痛觉方面具有一系列特殊性。这种特殊性似乎也涉及梦游活动。为了增加我们对这个主题的了解，本研究试图通过分析定性和半定量的角度来调查偏头痛患者的梦想。通过每天醒来时编制的临时问卷，我们探索了梦的频率、涉及的感官系统（视觉、听觉、嗅觉和味觉）以及睡眠的碎片化。我们发现偏头痛患者做梦的频率更高，部分与睡眠中断有关。出现的最相关的质量差异是偏头痛患者的味觉和嗅觉梦的频率绝对更高。
