Migraineurs Likely to Exhibit Metacognitive Deficits

Key clinical point: Patients with migraine are likely to have metacognitive deficits.

Major finding: Patients with migraine performed worse on measures of metacognitive functions, including accuracy score (P = .012), global monitoring (P = .015), monetary gains (P = .022), and control sensitivity (P = .027) compared with control participants.

Study details: An Italian study evaluated the metacognitive abilities of 64 patients with chronic and episodic migraine and 29 healthy control participants.

Disclosures: The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
