[Headache in autonomic-vascular dystonia].

The clinical variants of headaches were observed in 83 patients with autonomic vascular dystonia. The diagnostic table was designed to differentiate between the latter and migraine. Bulbar conjunctiva and retinal microcirculation studies revealed multiple morphological and hemodynamic changes. These were especially marked during painful paroxysms. The substantial increase in red blood cell aggregation rates was observed within the entire headache exacerbation. The data provide grounds for using adrenergic blockers, antiaggregatory and venotonic drugs in these conditions.
