Summary
This paper examines the role of associated symptoms in migraine pain patterns, with particular focus on photophobia pathways involving intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) connecting directly to thalamic neurons. Understanding ipRGC-mediated photophobia has practical implications for designing low-intensity, spectrally appropriate lighting environments for migraine sufferers in clinical and workplace settings.
