Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Altered sensory processing in migraine has been demonstrated by several studies in unimodal, and especially visual, tasks. While there is some limited evidence hinting at potential alterations in multisensory processing among migraine sufferers, this aspect remains relatively unexplored. This study investigated the interictal cognitive performance of migraine patients without aura compared to matched controls, focusing on associative learning, recall, and transfer abilities through the Sound-Face Test, an audiovisual test based on the principles of the Rutgers Acquired Equivalence Test.
METHODS: The performance of 42 volunteering migraine patients was compared to the data of 42 matched controls, selected from a database of healthy volunteers who had taken the test earlier. The study aimed to compare the groups\' performance in learning, recall, and the ability to transfer learned associations.
RESULTS: Migraine patients demonstrated significantly superior associative learning as compared to controls, requiring fewer trials, and making fewer errors during the acquisition phase. However, no significant differences were observed in retrieval error ratios, generalization error ratios, or reaction times between migraine patients and controls in later stages of the test.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study support those of previous investigations, which concluded that multisensory processing exhibits a unique pattern in migraine. The specific finding that associative audiovisual pair learning is more effective in adult migraine patients than in matched controls is unexpected. If the phenomenon is not an artifact, it may be assumed to be a combined result of the hypersensitivity present in migraine and the sensory threshold-lowering effect of multisensory integration.

摘要：
背景：单峰的几项研究已经证明了偏头痛的感觉过程改变，尤其是视觉上的，任务。虽然有一些有限的证据表明偏头痛患者的多感官加工可能发生改变，这方面仍然相对有待探索。这项研究调查了无先兆偏头痛患者与匹配对照组相比的发作间认知表现，专注于联想学习，召回，并通过声面测试转移能力，基于罗格斯大学获得等效测试原理的视听测试。
方法：将42名自愿偏头痛患者的表现与42名匹配对照的数据进行比较，从之前参加过测试的健康志愿者的数据库中选择。这项研究旨在比较各组在学习方面的表现，召回，以及转移学习联想的能力。
结果：偏头痛患者表现出明显优于对照组的联想学习，需要更少的试验，并且在采集阶段产生更少的错误。然而,在检索错误率方面没有观察到显著差异，泛化错误率，或偏头痛患者和对照组在测试后期的反应时间。
结论：我们的研究结果支持以前的研究，结论是多感官处理在偏头痛中表现出独特的模式。在成年偏头痛患者中，联想视听对学习比匹配的对照更有效的具体发现是出乎意料的。如果这种现象不是人为的，可以认为这是偏头痛中存在的超敏反应和多感觉整合的感觉阈值降低效应的综合结果.
