This study delves into the facial point-of-care (POC) thermographic patterns of women with chronic migraine, aiming to shed light on the condition\u2019s pathophysiology and diagnostic potential. (2) Methods: Using infrared POC thermography, the facial temperature distribution of 24 female participants with chronic migraine were analyzed. (3) Results: The findings revealed significant temperature asymmetry in women with right-sided unilateral headaches, particularly in the right frontal and temporal regions. Notably, individuals with bilateral pain did not exhibit thermal pattern differences, suggesting potential diagnostic complexities. While these results offer valuable insights, further research with larger samples is warranted (4) Conclusions: Facial thermography holds promise as an adjunctive tool for migraine diagnosis and understanding its neurophysiological basis; however, cautious interpretation is advised, given the need for validation and expanded investigations. Improved diagnostic criteria and treatment strategies may emerge from this ongoing exploration, ultimately enhancing the quality of life of chronic migraine sufferers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12237458","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,1]],"date-time":"2023-12-01T04:12:56Z","timestamp":1701403976000},"page":"7458","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Exploring Facial Thermography Patterns in Women with Chronic Migraine"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Bruno Veloso","family":"Fracasso","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate Program in Neurosciences, Institute of Basic Health Sciences (ICBS), Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Porto Alegre 90035-003, RS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Renato Bender","family":"Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Researcher, Porto Alegre 90570-020, RS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4822-8314","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcos Leal","family":"Brioschi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Thermology and Thermography Specialization Group, Faculty of Medicine, University of S\u00e3o Paulo (FMUSP), Sao Paulo 01246-903, SP, Brazil"},{"name":"American Academy of Thermology (ATT), Greenville, SC 29607, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4021-8699","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ta\u00eds","family":"Malysz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate Program in Neurosciences, Institute of Basic Health Sciences (ICBS), Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Porto Alegre 90035-003, RS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4s","DOI":"10.1590\/s1518-8787.2017051000090","article-title":"Noncommunicable diseases and the use of health services: Analysis of the National Health Survey in Brazil","volume":"51","author":"Malta","year":"2017","journal-title":"Rev.
