Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

2. Healthy volunteers without migraine;

3. Patients with a cerebellar degenerative diseases.

Exclusion criteria: For the migrainepatients and healthy controls:

Age maximum:
Gender:
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Migraine, Eyeblink, Cerebellum, Sway test

Intervention(s)
The difference in the conditioning, between migraineurs and healthy volunteers,
is measured by using the eyeblinker. The technique is called the chip-MDMT
(Magnetic Distant Measurement Technique). A magnet will be placed on the right eyelid. A sensor will be placed below the right eye. So the length, the power and the time of each blink is measured. The test will consist of 8 trials of 6 minutes. A conditioned respons will be generated by using airpuffs and tones.
Primary Outcome(s)
The conditioning as measured with eyeblink between migrainepatients and controls.
Secondary Outcome(s)
1. The sensitivity of trigeminus system by migrainepatients compared with controls.
Do the results of the disturbed conditioned corresponds to a coordinationdisorder measured by the sway-test?;

2. The relations between the contols, the migrainepatients and the patients with a degenerative disease.
