English
Authors' results and conclusions:
Preliminary results from one high quality study indicate that closure of a patent foramen ovale may reduce the frequency and severity of migraine headaches, but not completely abolish them.
Authors' recommendations:
The cause and effect relationship of migraine and patent foramen ovale is yet to be established. It is therefore recommended that this technology be archived.
