Do migrainous headaches become more consistently lateralized?
Analysis of information collected from 468 patients with common or classical migraine does not suggest that those with a longer history are more likely to have headaches fixed to a single side of the head. This finding does not support the notion that successive unilateral headache attacks on one side cause damage that predisposes the patient to further attacks on the same side.
