The Visual Aura Rating Scale (VARS) for Migraine Aura Diagnosis
Cephalalgia, 2005To supplement the traditional ICHD-2 diagnosis for migraine with aura (MA) we developed a diagnostic scale for migraine aura that quantifies the importance of the cardinal characteristics of MA. Since more than 99% of MA patients have visual aura, we developed for simplicity a Visual Aura Rating Scale (VARS).

Pattern‐Reversal Visual Evoked Potentials in Migraineurs With or Without Visual Aura
To determine the possible electrophysiologic changes in migraineurs with or without visual aura, we investigatedpattern‐reversal visual evoked potentials in 39 patients. We compared the mean P100 latency and amplitude of 16patients with aura, 23 patients without aura, and 17 age‐ and sex‐matched normal subjects.
