Migraine more common in People with MS
- Share
Researchers today published results that migraines occur three times more frequently in MS clinic patients than in the general population.
In addition, the MS patients with migraines also experienced more symptoms than the MS patients without headaches.
The objectives of this study were: (1) to assess relative frequency of migraine in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients using the validated self-administered diagnostic questionnaire, and to compare the migraine rates in MS outpatients to age- and gender-matched historical population controls; (2) to compare clinical and radiographic characteristics in MS patients with migraine and headache-free MS patients.
The study also found that migraines were not associated with disability or the number of brain lesions.
