Migraine Is good For The Memory

Is it true? The first time i read this article, I myself didn't expect this. But in the article, it said that people with migraine suffer less memory loss over time than the unafflicted. Reserchers from John Hopkins Bloomberg School Of public Health found that while migraineurs scored lower on memory tests at the start of their study, they showed 17% less cognitive decline than non-migraineurs 12 years later. "Migraine medications such as ibuprofen, which might have a protective effect on memory, might be partially responsible" says Dr Amanda Kalaydijan of the surprise findings. "But it seems more likely that there may be an underlying biological mechanism such as changes in blood vessels or differences in brain activities.
