Eur J Neurol 2024; 31:e16372. [PMID: 38837528 PMCID: PMC11295178 DOI: 10.1111/ene.16372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the real-world effectiveness and tolerability of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and onabotulinumtoxinA in chronic migraine (CM) patients. METHODS This multicenter study involved retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of CM patients treated with CGRP mAbs or onabotulinumtoxinA, including difficult-to-treat (DTT) patients (i.e., ≥3 preventive failures). Treatment outcomes were determined at 6 months based on prospective headache diaries and Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS). RESULTS The study included 316 (55 M/261F, mean age 44.4 ± 13.5 years) and 333 (61 M/272F, mean age 47.9 ± 13.4 years) CM patients treated with CGRP mAbs or onabotulinbumtoxinA, respectively. At 6 months, CGRP mAb treatment was associated with a greater decrease in monthly migraine days (MMDs) (-13.0 vs. -8.7 days/month, p < 0.001) and a higher ≥50% responder rate (RR) (74.7% vs. 50.7%, p < 0.001) compared with onabotulinumtoxinA injections. The findings were consistent in DTT patients (-13.0 vs. -9.1 MMDs, p < 0.001; ≥50% RR: 73.9% vs. 50.3%, p < 0.001) or those with medication-overuse headache (MOH) (-13.3 vs. -9.0 MMDs, p < 0.001; ≥50% RR: 79.0% vs. 51.6%, p < 0.001). Besides, patients receiving CGRP mAbs had greater improvement (-42.2 vs. -11.8, p < 0.001) and a higher ≥50% RR (62.0% vs. 40.0%, p = 0.001) in MIDAS scores and a lower rate of adverse events (AEs) (6.0% vs. 21.0%, p < 0.001). However, none of the patients discontinued treatment due to AEs. CONCLUSIONS In this multicenter, real-world study, CGRP mAbs were more effective than onabotulinumtoxinA in CM patients, even in DTT or MOH patients. All of these injectables were well tolerated. Further prospective studies are needed to verify these findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We aim to critically review animal and human studies of the glymphatic system in migraine and propose a model for how the glymphatic system may function in migraine, based on the available evidence. RECENT FINDINGS Early studies in animal models report migraine attacks temporarily disrupt glymphatic flow. Human imaging studies suggest chronic migraine may be associated with alterations in glymphatic system function, albeit with conflicting results. Presently, it remains unknown whether repetitive migraine attacks or frequent nights of insomnia impair glymphatic system function over time in those with migraine, and whether alterations in glymphatic function could contribute to worsening migraine disability or risk for cognitive disease. Longitudinal studies of glymphatic function in patients with migraine and insomnia, with inclusion of cognitive assessments, may be informative.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review replicated and highlight novel studies of sleep in children and adults with episodic and chronic migraine. RECENT FINDINGS Attack-related sleep symptoms are most common in the prodrome and may represent early activation of the hypothalamus rather than migraine triggers. Interictally, patients with migraine report poor sleep quality and high rates of insomnia symptoms. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia in adults and adolescents with chronic migraine and comorbid insomnia results in significant improvement on their headache burden. Thus far, objective studies report that migraine per se is a not associated with sleep apnea. At the present time, there is minimal evidence that migraine is under circadian influence. The current body of evidence suggests that the insomnia symptoms and poor sleep quality commonly reported by patients with migraine are not attack-related but occur interictally and are a marker of worsening disease. The development of clinical guidelines to approach sleep symptoms and expansion of CBT-I trials in those with episodic migraine would be clinically valuable.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to explore the use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in migraine. Traditionally assessed through specific features, recent adoption of PROMs allows for a more objective and quantifiable evaluation. PROMs, which are standardized questionnaires collecting health information directly from a patients' perspective, cover various aspects, including migraine specific aspects. The review focuses on delineating the applications and interpretation of commonly used PROMs in migraine research, with an emphasis on their integration in clinical care. RECENT FINDINGS Generic and migraine-specific PROMs play a crucial role in clinical research, particularly in assessing health-related quality of life, disability, impact, and associated comorbidities. Some of these measures are strongly recommended to be used by the International Guidelines and are, in fact, mandated by the FDA for product labeling. Recently, there has been an expansion in the use of PROMs to assess migraine in diverse populations, in particular pediatric patients. However, the application of these measures in clinical care shows considerable heterogeneity, and some have not been validated specifically for migraine. The existing multitude of PROMs, coupled with ongoing development of new ones to better capture patient concerns, creates complexity in their research and clinical application. To address these challenges, it becomes imperative to streamline their use, focusing on those that are more validated and better aligned with the patients' perspective including different populations' needs. SUMMARY The utilization of PROMs in evaluating migraine enables a more holistic assessment, helps quantify the impact of the disease facilitating change measurement, improves communication between healthcare providers and patients and, guides treatment decisions for improved outcomes. However, the increasing number of PROMs questionnaires, underscores the importance of validating these tools for migraine and, the dynamic nature of the disease makes it relevant to decide with whom, why and when these should be used.

Abstract
Migraine is one of the most prevalent and disabling neurological conditions, presenting episodes of throbbing headache that limit activities of daily living. Several factors may influence migraine frequency, such as lifestyle or alcohol consumption. Among the most recognised ones, sleep plays a biunivocal role, since poor sleep quality may worsen migraine frequency, and a high migraine frequency may affect sleep quality. In this paper, the authors evaluate the relationship between migraine and insomnia by exploring a cohort of patients affected by episodic or chronic migraine. To do so, a phone interview was performed, asking patients about their migraine frequency and mean pain intensity, in addition to the questions of the Insomnia Severity Index. The last one explores several symptoms impairing sleep that focus on insomnia. Patients complaining of insomnia showed an increased migraine frequency, and a weak but significant correlation was found between headache days per month and insomnia scores. Such results were particularly evident in patients affected by chronic migraine. Such results suggest how insomnia, in the presented data, seems to be associated with migraine frequency but not with pain intensity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze complaints about sleep disorders and assess the incidence of various sleep disorders, using relevant scales, in patients with medication-overuse headache (MOH) in comparison with patients without MOH. MATERIAL AND METHODS The prospective case-control study included 171 patients, aged 18 years and older, with MOH (main group), and173 patients with primary headaches without MOH (control group). A neurologist conducted an initial examination and professional interview before the start of treatment. To diagnose sleep disorders, the International Classification of Sleep Disorders (3rd edition, 2014) was used. Additionally, an assessment was made using the Insomnia Severity Index Scale, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and the Lausanne Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome Scale (NoSAS). RESULTS Statistically significant differences were revealed in the prevalence of the following complaints about sleep disorders in patients with MOH: lack of sleep (51.5%), frequent awakenings during sleep (43.3%), discomfort in legs before falling asleep or at rest in the evening (37.4%). Difficulties falling asleep occurred equally often in both patients with MOH (43.9%) and without MOH (37.0%), as well as daytime sleepiness (40.4% vs 36.4%) and the presence of snoring (13% of patients in each group). Patients with MOH were significantly more likely to suffer from chronic insomnia (60.2% and 47.4%, respectively, p=0.02; OR 1.7; 95% CI 1.1-2.6) and restless legs syndrome (37.4% and 22.0%, respectively, p=0.002; OR 2.1; 95% CI 1.3-3.4). The incidence of hypersomnia and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome did not have statistically significant differences. CONCLUSION Patients with MOH compared to patients without MOH have a significantly higher incidence of main complaints of sleep disorders, chronic insomnia and restless legs syndrome, which indicates the importance of sleep disorders in the pathogenesis of medication-overuse headaches and requires timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent the progression of both headaches and sleep disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In individuals with migraine, attacks may increase in frequency, severity, or both. Preventing migraine progression has emerged as a treatment goal in headache subspecialty practice, but there may be less awareness in general neurology or primary care settings where most people with migraine who seek treatment consult. Herein, we review the definition of and risk factors for migraine progression and consider strategies that could reduce its risk. METHODS A group of headache expert healthcare professionals, clinicians, and researchers reviewed published evidence documenting factors associated with increased or decreased rates of migraine progression and established expert opinions for disease management recommendations. Strength of evidence was rated as good, moderate, or based solely on expert opinion, using modified criteria for causation developed by AB Hill. RESULTS Migraine progression is commonly operationally defined as the transition from ≤ 15 to ≥ 15 monthly headache days among people with migraine; however, this does not necessarily constitute a fundamental change in migraine biology and other definitions should be considered. Established and theoretical key risk factors for migraine progression were categorized into five domains: migraine disease characteristics, treatment-related factors, comorbidities, lifestyle/exogenous factors, and demographic factors. Within these domains, good evidence supports the following risk factors: poorly optimized acute headache treatment, cutaneous allodynia, acute medication overuse, selected psychiatric symptoms, extra-cephalic chronic pain conditions, metabolism-related comorbidities, sleep disturbances, respiratory conditions, former/current high caffeine intake, physical inactivity, financial constraints, tobacco use, and personal triggers as risk factors. Protective actions that may mitigate migraine progression are sparsely investigated in published literature; our discussion of these factors is primarily based on expert opinion. CONCLUSIONS Recognizing risk factors for migraine progression will allow healthcare providers to suggest protective actions against migraine progression (Supplementary Fig. 1). Intervention studies are needed to weight the risk factors and test the clinical benefit of hypothesized mitigation strategies that emerge from epidemiological evidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This observational study aimed to: (i) describe and explore preliminary psychometric properties of a multidimensional sleep health composite score in adolescent females with frequent migraine; and (ii) examine associations between the composite score, headache characteristics, and emotional health. BACKGROUND Sleep health is a multidimensional construct comprised of various dimensions of sleep and circadian functioning, including Regularity, Satisfaction, Alertness, Timing, Efficiency, and Duration (Ru-SATED framework). The Ru-SATED sleep health composite score may provide a holistic perspective of sleep among adolescents with frequent migraine in the context of neurobiological and psychosocial impacts on sleep unique to this developmental period. METHODS In all, 60 female adolescents (aged 12-18 years) with high-frequency episodic or chronic migraine completed wrist-worn actigraphy for 10 days and concurrent daily electronic surveys assessing headache, sleep, and emotional health. A sleep health composite score was derived from empirically supported "healthy" versus "unhealthy" ratings on the six Ru-SATED sleep dimensions. RESULTS Half of participants (27/54 [50%]) had a composite score ≥4 (i.e., at least four of the six dimensions rated as poor). Convergent validity of the composite score was acceptable (rs = 0.30-0.56, all p < 0.05). Internal consistency among the dimensions was low (α = 0.45). Multivariate multiple regression models indicated that worse sleep health was associated with greater headache-related disability (B = 0.71, p = 0.018) and anxiety (B = 0.59, p = 0.010), and trended toward significance for sadness (B = 0.35, p = 0.052). The composite score was not significantly associated with headache frequency or severity. CONCLUSIONS A multidimensional sleep health composite score may provide an alternative, more comprehensive picture of sleep disturbance among adolescent females with frequent migraine. Larger studies are needed to examine psychometric properties more rigorously and further explore the composite score as a potentially unique predictor of headache outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Stroke is a major health concern and a leading cause of long-term disability. Persistent post-stroke headache (PPSH) is a common complication of stroke yet little is known about its specific characteristics or optimal management. The purpose of this review is to discuss the epidemiology, presentation, and hypothesized pathophysiology of PPSH. Acute and preventive treatment options, as well as specific concerns regarding triptans and the newer CGRP antagonists, will be discussed in detail as well. RECENT FINDINGS The 2018 International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (ICHD-3) was the first headache diagnostic manual to include criteria for PPSH and defines this disorder as an acute headache that develops in close temporal relation to stroke and persists beyond 3 months. Recent literature estimates the prevalence of PPSH to be somewhere between 1 and 23% of patients post-stroke. Presentation is variable, but most often mimics tension-type headache. There are no evidence-based guidelines on the optimal treatment of PPSH. PPSH is a common but poorly understood complication of stroke. Given the significant disability burden that PPSH carries, the epidemiology and pathophysiology of PPSH, as well as the efficacy and safety of potential treatment options, warrant further investigation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Migraine and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) are increasingly encountered but remain enigmatic. This review compares the similarities and differences of the diagnostic criteria, pathophysiology, and risk factors for chronic migraine and IIH. RECENT FINDINGS While migraine and IIH are distinct diseases, both conditions are frequently found concurrently and may share a link. Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) in those with or without pre-existing migraine may present with migraine-like headaches and contribute to migraine chronification. Increased intracranial pressure may be a coincidental occurrence in patients with migraine and normalization of pressure does not always translate to headache improvement. Limited information is available regarding the standard of treatment for patients with chronic migraine and IIH without papilledema. There continues to be controversy over the normal range of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) values. Recognizing the concurrence of both conditions advances our understanding of headache pathology and demonstrates a striking need for more research.

Abstract
Migraine is a neurologic disease with a complex pathophysiology that can be controlled with current treatment options but not cured. Therefore, treatment expectations are highly variable. The concept of migraine freedom was recently introduced and can mean different things, with some, for example, expecting complete freedom from headache and associated symptoms and others accepting the occasional migraine attack if it does not impact functioning. Therefore, migraine management should be optimized so that patients can have the best opportunity to achieve their optimal treatment goals. With migraine freedom as a goal and, given the complex pathophysiology of migraine and the high incidence of comorbidities among individuals with migraine, treatment with a single modality may be insufficient, as it may not achieve migraine freedom in those with more frequent or disabling attacks. In this clinical perspective article, we have identified four key, partially overlapping principles of multimodal migraine treatment: (1) manage common comorbidities; (2) control modifiable risk factors for progression by addressing medication and caffeine overuse; (3) diagnose and treat secondary causes of headache, if present; and (4) individualize acute and preventive treatments to minimize pain, functional disability, and allodynia. There are many barriers to pursuing migraine freedom, and strategies to overcome them should be optimized. Migraine freedom should be an aspirational goal both at the individual attack level and for the disease overall. We believe that a comprehensive and multimodal approach that addresses all barriers people with migraine face could move patients closer to migraine freedom.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We review research on sleep symptoms and disorders in patients with episodic migraine and propose a framework for evaluating sleep symptoms in this patient population. RECENT FINDINGS Patients with episodic migraine consistently report poorer sleep on validated self-reports compared to those without migraine. In polysomnographic studies, children with migraine have objectively shorter sleep duration and lower percentage of REM sleep interictally. Prospective actigraphy studies in adults and children suggest that there are no significant changes in sleep duration, efficiency, or quality in the night before or after a migraine attack. The relationship between sleep and migraine is multifaceted. Patients with episodic migraine report poorer sleep and have higher risk of some sleep disorders, including insomnia, sleep-related bruxism, and restless legs syndrome. Sleep screening questions may be incorporated into headache evaluations. Care should be taken to avoid headache medications that may exacerbate sleep symptoms. Evidence-based treatments for insomnia may be initiated while patients await CBT-I. Further studies are needed to assess whether treatment of comorbid sleep disorders results in improvement in migraine-related burden in those with episodic migraine.

Effects of a Single Session of OnabotulinumtoxinA Therapy on Sleep Quality and Psychological Measures: Preliminary Findings in a Population of Chronic Migraineurs. Toxins (Basel) 2023; 15:527. [PMID: 37755953 PMCID: PMC10537449 DOI: 10.3390/toxins15090527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Chronic migraine is a burdensome condition, and onabotulinumtoxinA is revealed to be an effective therapy. Migraine shows a bidirectional relationship with sleep, but the effects of preventive therapies on sleep quality are poorly studied. This study aims to evaluate the effects of a single session of onabotulinumtoxinA on patients' sleep quality and correlates the results with measures of comorbid anxiety/depression. Patients completed self-administrable questionnaires about sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-PSQI) and psychological symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory, 2nd edition-BDI-II-and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-HADS-subscales "a" and "d" for anxiety and depression, respectively), and reported migraine frequency at baseline and after 12 weeks. The 42 included patients showed a significant reduction in migraine days (from 20.6 ± 6.0 to 13.6 ± 6.2, p < 0.001), while no changes were observed in sleep quality (PSQI score from 11.0 ± 5.0 to 9.8 ± 4.6, p = 0.277) or psychological measures (BDI-II from 16.7 ± 10.2 to 15.7 ± 10.3, p = 0.678; HADS-a from 10.3 ± 4.8 to 9.3 ± 5.5, p = 0.492; and HADS-d from 7.2 ± 3.9 to 7.1 ± 5.0, p = 0.901). On the other hand, a strong correlation among PSQI, BDI-II, HADS-a, and HADS-d scores (p < 0.001, rho > 0.7) was found. Despite its efficacy in migraine prevention, a single session of onabotulinumtoxinA was not able to affect patients' sleep quality or their psychological symptoms.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of our study was to determine the effects of greater occipital nerve block (GONB) with lidocaine on sleep characteristics in patients with chronic migraine. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty female patients who underwent GONB with lidocaine were included in the study. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Pre-Sleep Arousal Scale (PSAS), Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep Scale (DBAS), Restless Legs Syndrome Severity Scale (RLSSS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and headache diary results before and after the treatment of the patients were compared. RESULTS We included 20 patients (all females) in our study. The mean age was 35.80 ± 8.82 years (range 24-50). After GON blockade, the number of days with pain (p < 0.001), duration of pain (p < 0.001), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score (p < 0.001) were significantly lower than before. After GONB, BDI (p = 0.007), BAI (p = 0.022), ISI (p = 0.009), and PSQI (p = 0.026) scores were significantly lower than before. After GONB, sleep quality was better than before (p = 0.035). CONCLUSION This study showed that GONB with lidocaine can improve sleep quality, insomnia, and symptoms of depression and anxiety while reducing migraine headache.

Abstract
PURPOSE Disturbances of sleep have frequently been reported in individuals with migraine. On top of this, an elderly patient with migraine also suffers from sleep disturbances due to changes in physiologic and mental health associated with aging. This study aimed to compare several sleep factors, namely sleep quality, chronotype, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk, between elderly people with and without migraine. METHODS This was a multicenter cross-sectional study conducted in 10 neurologic clinics located in Tehran, Iran, over 2 years. The sample size was calculated as 189, including 63 migraine and 126 non-migraine patients. RESULTS A significant difference was observed in the mean score of the global Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) between migraine and non-migraine groups (p-value = 0.002), and in the individual components of the PSQI. However, there were no significant differences in the frequency of different types of chronotype (p-value = 0.125, T = 1.541) or OSA risk between the two groups (p-value = 0.568, T = -0.573). The binary logistic regression model showed that the relationship between global PSQI and migraine was significant (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Sleep quality is a problem for elderly migraine sufferers. Meanwhile, certain factors such as chronotype and OSA have no significant relationship with migraine among community-dwelling seniors. Further studies are required to enhance our understanding of this observation.

Abstract
Sleep disorders in women remain underrecognized and underdiagnosed mainly because of gender bias in researching and characterizing sleep disorders in women. Symptoms of common sleep disorders are frequently missed in the general female population and are expected to be further overlooked because of overlapping symptoms in women with neurologic disorders. Given the bidirectional relationship with sleep and neurologic disorders, it remains critical to be aware of the presentation and impact of sleep disorders in this patient population. This article reviews available data on sleep disorders in women with neurologic disorders and discusses their distinctive features.

Abstract
Obesity and migraine are often comorbid. Poor sleep quality is also common among individuals with migraine and may be influenced by comorbidities such as obesity. However, understanding of migraine's relationship with sleep and the potential exacerbating effect of obesity remains limited. This study evaluated the associations of migraine characteristics and clinical features with sleep quality among women with comorbid migraine and overweight/obesity and assessed the interplay between obesity severity and migraine characteristics/clinical features in relation to sleep quality. Women seeking treatment for migraine and obesity (n = 127; NCT01197196) completed a validated questionnaire assessing sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-PSQI). Migraine headache characteristics and clinical features were assessed using smartphone-based daily diaries. Weight was measured in-clinic, and several potential confounders were assessed using rigorous methods. Nearly 70% of participants endorsed poor sleep quality. Greater monthly migraine days and the presence of phonophobia related to poorer sleep quality, and specifically poorer sleep efficiency, controlling for confounders. Obesity severity was neither independently associated nor interacted with migraine characteristics/features to predict sleep quality. Poor sleep quality is common among women with comorbid migraine and overweight/obesity, although obesity severity does not appear to uniquely relate to or exacerbate the association between migraine and sleep in this population. Results can guide research on mechanisms of the migraine-sleep link and inform clinical care.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to discuss the current evidence for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) for patients with migraine and comorbid insomnia. In this article, we provide a narrative review of the literature on CBT-I and migraine, highlighting recent advances in research into this topic. Finally, we propose a way for clinicians to integrate CBT-I into clinical practice. RECENT FINDINGS Multiple studies support CBT-I as a validated modality for the treatment of insomnia in migraine. CBT-I is used to treat insomnia and should be offered as first line therapy. Clinicians should screen for insomnia in all patients with headache, especially in those with migraine, to best manage this condition through the implementation of specific insomnia treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of various complaints indicating poor sleep quality and its disturbances in men and women with primary headaches. MATERIAL AND METHODS In total 305 patients (mean age 45 years, age range 18-89 years) with primary headache disorders and complaints of poor quality of sleep were included in the study. Women prevailed among these patients (79%). The average age of men (41.6) and women (45.8) had no statistically significant differences (p=0.8). The initial examination and professional face-to-face interview were initially conducted by an experienced neurologist specializing in the treatment of headaches. Within a week after that, before the start of treatment, patients were interviewed by telephone using standardized questionnaires by specially trained students and physicians. RESULTS A frequent occurrence of many complaints of sleep disturbances were found in primary headache disorders, both in men and women, they included daytime sleepiness (75.7%), lack of sleep (69.2%), difficulty in falling asleep (57.4%), sleep disruption (51.5%), early morning awakening (47.5%), snoring (18.7%). We found the predominance of these complaints in people over 50 years old. Women had these complaints more frequently than men, besides we determined sex differences in the prevalence of these complaints. CONCLUSION Complaints about poor sleep quality are quite common in patients with primary headache disorders and have sex and age differences. Identification of the described complaints of poor sleep quality is a simple tool for the initial analysis of sleep disorders in the practice of any specialist. We recommend paying great attention to these complaints for further diagnostics of sleep disorders and their timely treatment.

Abstract
Background Headache is frequently reported as a neurological manifestation of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythaemia. This study sought to clarify the clinical characteristics and response to treatment of headaches in patients with MPNs. Methods We prospectively studied 137 patients with MPNs. The following information was gathered to assess the features of headache at baseline and at follow-up (>6 months): (1) average duration of headache attacks, (2) number of headache days per month, (3) numerical rating scale (NRS), (4) Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6), and (5) Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS). We compared those parameters for headaches between the baseline and follow-up interviews according to the management. Results Thirty-seven (27.0%) patients had headache. The prevalence of headaches gradually decreased with increasing age (Age ≤ 49 years: 61.0%, 50-59 years: 38.5%, 60-69 years: 17.2%, 70-79 years: 5.1%, and ≥80 years: 0.0%, P < 0.001). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that younger age, but not platelet counts or the JAK2 V617F mutation, was independently associated with headaches (Odds Ratios 2.004, 95% confidence intervals 1.293-3.108, P = 0.002). Scintillating scotomas were present in 22 (59.5%) of 37 patients with headaches, while four patients developed sudden headaches that lasted for only 0-10 min. Follow-up interviews were available for 31 (83.8%) of 37 patients with headaches. Twenty-one (67.7%) patients were treated with low-dose aspirin (100 mg once daily) [low-dose aspirin alone: n = 9; combined cytoreductive therapy: n = 12] for headache management. All parameters for headache [average duration of headache attacks, number of headache days per month, NRS score, HIT-6 score, and MIDAS score (all P < 0.001)] were significantly improved at follow-up in patients taking low-dose aspirin. However, there were no significant differences in these parameters of headaches in patients who did not receive low-dose aspirin. Conclusion Headaches is common in patients with MPNs, particularly in younger patients. MPN-related headaches may be managed by using low-dose aspirin and controlling MPNs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To describe the relative frequency, demographics, comorbidities, and health care utilization of veterans who receive migraine care at the Veteran's Health Administration (VHA) and to evaluate differences by gender. METHODS This study extracted data from VHA administrative sources. Veterans diagnosed with migraine by a health care provider between fiscal year 2008 and 2019 were included. Demographics and military exposures were extracted at cohort entry. Comorbidities were extracted within 18 months of the first migraine diagnosis. Health care utilization and headache comorbidities were extracted across the study period. Differences between men and women were evaluated using χ2 tests and Student t tests. RESULTS More than half a million (n = 567,121) veterans were diagnosed with migraine during the 12-year study period, accounting for 5.3% of the 10.8 million veterans served in the VHA; in the most recent year of the study period (2019), the annual incidence and 1-year period prevalence of medically diagnosed migraine was 2.7% and 13.0% for women and 0.7% and 2.5% for men. In the total cohort diagnosed with migraine, 27.8% were women and 72.2% men. Among those with diagnosed migraine, a higher proportion of men vs women also had a TBI diagnosis (3.9% vs 1.1%; p < 0.001). A higher proportion of women vs men reported military sexual trauma (35.5% vs 3.5%; p < 0.001). Participants with diagnosed migraine had an average of 1.44 (SD 1.73) annual encounters for headache. Primary care was the most common headache care setting (88.1%); almost one-fifth of veterans with diagnosed migraine sought care in the ED at least once during the study period. Common comorbidities were overweight/obesity (80.3%), nonheadache pain disorders (61.7%), and mental health disorders (48.8%). DISCUSSION Migraine is commonly treated in the VHA setting, but likely underascertained. Most people treated for migraine in the VHA are men. Pain comorbidities and psychiatric disorders are common. Future research should identify methods to improve diagnosis and treatment and to reduce use of the emergency department.

Abstract
Chronic migraine is one of the most devastating headache disorders. The estimated prevalence is 1.4-2.2% in the population. The factors which may predispose to the process of migraine progression include high frequency of migraine attacks, medication overuse, comorbid pain syndromes, and obesity. Several studies showed that chronic migraine results in the substantial anatomical and physiological changes in the brain. Despite no clear explanation regarding the pathophysiologic process leading to the progression, certain features such as increased sensory sensitivity, cutaneous allodynia, impaired habituation, identify the neuronal hyperexcitability as the plausible mechanism. In this review, we describe two main mechanisms which can lead to this hyperexcitability. The first is persistent sensitization caused by repetitive and prolonged trigeminal nociceptive activation. This process results in changes in several brain networks related to both pain and non-pain behaviours. The second mechanism is the decrease in endogenous brainstem inhibitory control, hence increasing the excitability of neurons in the trigeminal noceptive system and cerebral cortex. The combination of increased pain matrix connectivity, including hypothalamic hyperactivity and a weak serotonergic system, may contribute to migraine chronification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of eptinezumab versus placebo in patients ≥50 years old with episodic (EM) or chronic migraine (CM). MATERIALS AND METHODS This post hoc analysis included data from two phase 3, parallel-group, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in adults with EM (PROMISE-1) or CM (PROMISE-2). Patients ≥50 years at baseline treated with eptinezumab 100 mg, 300 mg, or placebo were pooled from both studies to evaluate efficacy and safety. RESULTS A total of 385/1960 (19.6%) EM and CM patients who were ≥50 years old at baseline (range, 50-71 and 50-65 years, respectively) received eptinezumab 100 mg (n = 132), 300 mg (n = 127), or placebo (n = 126) over Weeks 1-12. Reductions in mean monthly migraine days (MMDs) in ≥50-year-old EM patients were -3.8 (100 mg) and -4.4 (300 mg) with eptinezumab versus -2.6 with placebo. In ≥50-year-old CM patients, mean changes in MMDs were -7.7 (100 mg) and -8.6 (300 mg) with eptinezumab versus -6.0 with placebo. Changes in MMDs were comparable to total study results. A ≥50% MMD reduction over Weeks 1-12 was achieved by 57.9% of eptinezumab-treated versus 35.7% of patients who received placebo, and a ≥75% reduction by 30.5% versus 13.5%, respectively. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in EM and CM patients ≥50 years old was similar across treatment groups, with ≥96% of TEAEs mild or moderate in severity. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with eptinezumab was efficacious, tolerable, and safe in patients ≥50 years with EM or CM, congruent with results from the overall study population.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Patients with migraine commonly endorse napping as a strategy for headache pain relief, but also experience high rates of sleep disturbance. To elucidate the relationship between napping behavior and migraine, we evaluated the association between napping and headache frequency, severity, and intensity among adults with episodic migraine. We also examined the association between daily napping and that night's sleep. METHODS In this six-week prospective cohort study, 97 adults with episodic migraine completed twice-daily headache and sleep electronic diaries and wore a wrist actigraph. We modeled the associations between napping (yes/no) and headaches with conditional logistic regression and daily napping and nighttime sleep with linear regression. RESULTS Over 4,353 study days, participants reported 1,059 headache days and 389 days with naps. More than 80% of participants napped during the study, with mean nap duration of 76.7 ± 62.4 min. Naps were more likely to occur on day 2 of headache 35/242 (14.5%) than on nonheadache days 279/3294 (8.5%, OR 2.2 [95% CI 1.4, 3.4]). Mean nap onset time (14:40 ± 3.3 h) was later than headache onset (12:48 ± 5.3 h). In adjusted models, napping was associated with an additional 1.1 (95% CI -1.4, 3.6) headache days/month. Naps were not associated with worse self-reported or objective sleep that night. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that naps may be an uncommonly used behavioral strategy for prolonged migraine attacks and do not contribute to nightly sleep disturbance. Future studies are needed to examine the acute analgesic effects of daytime napping in patients with migraine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recent studies have shown that sleep problems occur in migraineurs and poor sleep causes chronification, but the mechanisms by which chronic migraine affects sleep quality are still unknown. This review aims to analyze commonly reported sleep disturbances in chronic migraine (CM) and determine the effect of CM on sleep quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a comprehensive review of all published articles on CM and sleep quality from inception to March 2022 in the literature. Clinical trials, observational studies, and case series (≥20 cases) were included. Two reviewers and a supervisor reviewed the titles and abstracts of all search results with predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. PubMed search for randomized controlled trials and open studies on CM and sleep quality reported in English between 1983 and 2022 was conducted using the keywords including chronic migraine, sleep, insomnia, sleep quality, polysomnography, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. RESULTS A total of 535 potentially relevant articles were found. A total of 455 articles and reviews, meta-analyses published in any language other than English, with other exclusion criteria, were excluded from the review. In the remaining articles, 36 clinical studies, reviewing sleep quality and its association with migraine, were identified and reviewed. Evidence from this review shows that poor sleep and migraine chronicity are intertwined with other accompanying comorbidities and dysregulation of circadian rhythm that innovative treatments promise to bring relief to both poor sleep as well as migraine. CONCLUSION Sleep disorders are common in CM and the association between migraine chronification and sleep quality is bidirectional. Comorbid conditions with accompanying frequent attacks in migraine may impair sleep quality. While the maladaptive pain process worsens sleep, poor sleep quality also negatively affects migraine pain. Sleep disturbance, which is affected by worsening migraine attacks, causes deterioration in the quality of life, loss of workforce, and economic burden.

Abstract
PurposeTo identify the most frequent outcomes related to disability assessed in individuals with migraine and to correlate these findings with the categories of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.Material and methodThis scoping review was developed based on studies with adult population (18-55 years) of both sexes and assessing the disability generated by migraine. We included studies in which patients had a diagnosis of migraine based on International Classification of Headache Disorders.Results52 articles were found with 42 outcomes related to 17 categories of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, including the four main components of the classification, with seven categories in "Body Functions", one in "Body Structures", four in “Activities and Participation” and five in "Environmental Factors".ConclusionThe findings show that disabilities, activity limitation, or participation restriction generated by migraine can be classified by International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. The components "body functions", "environmental factors" and "activities and participation" were the most identified in the present study. Thus, this classification is important to classify the disability caused by migraine and to guide a rehabilitation more focused onthe patient's real demands, as well as directing the research involving this population.

Abstract
Background The causal relationship between insomnia and migraine is contradictory and no study has been carried out among the Chinese population to date. Methods In this case, we conducted a case–control study and a bidirectional mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to determine whether insomnia is causally related to the development of migraine. The instrumental variables for insomnia were derived from the largest genome-wide association study of 1,331,010 participants, while the genetic instruments for migraine were available from the largest meta-analysis of migraine with 59,674 cases and 316,078 controls. Results In case–control study, subjects with insomnia have significantly higher risk of migraine (OR=4.29, 95% CI: 3.21–5.74, P<0.001), compared with those without insomnia. The bidirectional two-sample MR analysis revealed that insomnia was significantly associated with higher risk of migraine (OR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.11–1.38, P=1.01×10-4), and the results were validated in the UK Biobank data. The results showed no indication for directional pleiotropy effects as assessed by the MR-Egger intercept (P>0.05). Conclusion Conclusively, our study highlighted that increased migraine risk was confined to subjects with a genetic pre-disposition to insomnia, and these findings had potential implications for improving the sleep quality to reduce the burden of migraine.

Abstract
Migraine is a disabling primary headache disorder that directly affects more than one billion people worldwide. Despite its widespread prevalence, migraine remains under-diagnosed and under-treated. To support clinical decision-making, we convened a European panel of experts to develop a ten-step approach to the diagnosis and management of migraine. Each step was established by expert consensus and supported by a review of current literature, and the Consensus Statement is endorsed by the European Headache Federation and the European Academy of Neurology. In this Consensus Statement, we introduce typical clinical features, diagnostic criteria and differential diagnoses of migraine. We then emphasize the value of patient centricity and patient education to ensure treatment adherence and satisfaction with care provision. Further, we outline best practices for acute and preventive treatment of migraine in various patient populations, including adults, children and adolescents, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and older people. In addition, we provide recommendations for evaluating treatment response and managing treatment failure. Lastly, we discuss the management of complications and comorbidities as well as the importance of planning long-term follow-up.

Abstract
Migraine is a disabling neurovascular disorder, characterized by moderate to severe unilateral headaches, nausea, photophobia, and/or phonophobia, with a higher prevalence in women than in men, which can drastically affect the quality of life of migraine patients. In addition, this chronic disorder is related with metabolic comorbidities associated with the patient's lifestyle, including obesity and diabetes mellitus (DM). Beyond the personal and socioeconomic impact caused by migraine, obesity and DM, it has been suggested that these metabolic disorders seem to be related to migraine since: (i) they are a risk factor for developing cardiovascular disorders or chronic diseases; (ii) they can be influenced by genetic and environmental risk factors; and (iii) while clinical and epidemiological studies suggest that obesity is a risk factor for migraine, DM (i.e., type 1 and type 2 DM) have been reported to be either a protective or a risk factor in migraine. On this basis, and given the high worldwide prevalence of migraine, obesity, and DM, this article provides a narrative review of the current literature related to the association between the etiology and pathophysiology of migraine and these metabolic disorders, considering lifestyle aspects, as well as the possible involvement of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, and/or sex hormones. While a link between migraine and metabolic disorders has been suggested, many studies are contradictory and the mechanisms involved in this association are not yet sufficiently established. Therefore, further research should be focused on understanding the possible mechanisms involved.

Abstract
Migraine is a symptomatically heterogeneous condition, of which headache is just one manifestation. Migraine is a disorder of altered sensory thresholding, with hypersensitivity among sufferers to sensory input. Advances in functional neuroimaging have highlighted that several brain areas are involved even prior to pain onset. Clinically, patients can experience symptoms hours to days prior to migraine pain, which can warn of impending headache. These symptoms can include mood and cognitive change, fatigue, and neck discomfort. Some epidemiological studies have suggested that migraine is associated in a bidirectional fashion with other disorders, such as mood disorders and chronic fatigue, as well as with other pain conditions such as fibromyalgia. This review will focus on the literature surrounding alterations in fatigue, mood, and cognition in particular, in association with migraine, and the suggested links to disorders such as chronic fatigue syndrome and depression. We hypothesize that migraine should be considered a neural disorder of brain function, in which alterations in aminergic networks integrating the limbic system with the sensory and homeostatic systems occur early and persist after headache resolution and perhaps interictally. The associations with some of these other disorders may allude to the inherent sensory sensitivity of the migraine brain and shared neurobiology and neurotransmitter systems rather than true co-morbidity.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Given the unknown immediate impact of migraine on nighttime sleep, we prospectively examined whether migraine headaches were associated with subsequent shorter sleep duration, higher fragmentation, and poorer quality in a cohort of 98 adults with episodic migraine. METHODS Participants completed twice-daily electronic diaries and wore actigraphs continuously for 6 weeks. We examined whether days with headaches were associated with changes in that night's sleep characteristics compared with headache-free days, using adjusted multivariable linear mixed models with subject-specific intercepts. RESULTS Participants were 35 ± 12 years old, 88% women, with an average of five migraine headaches per month. Over 4,406 days, we observed 1,077 headache days, representing 823 discrete headaches. Average nightly objective sleep duration was 7.3 ± 1.2 hr, efficiency 89.5 ± 3.3%, and wake after sleep onset (WASO) 44.8 ± 17.0 min. Objective sleep duration was 7.3 min (95% CI: 1.5, 13.0) longer on nights following a headache day compared with nights on a headache-free day. Objective sleep efficiency, WASO, and reported sleep quality were not significantly different on headache days compared with headache-free days (sleep efficiency: -0.06 min, 95% CI: -0.3, 0.2; WASO 1.5 min, 95% CI: 0.0, 3.0; sleep quality: 1.0, 95% CI: 0.8, 1.3). CONCLUSIONS Sleep periods immediately following migraine headaches are not associated with shorter duration, higher disruption, or poorer sleep quality in patients with episodic migraine. These results suggest that clinical evaluation of sleep disturbance in patients with episodic migraine should be approached independently of their migraine status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been linked to vestibular dysfunction, but no prior studies have investigated the relationship between Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD), a common cause of chronic dizziness, and OSA. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS We determined the frequency of OSA in an uncontrolled group of PPPD patients from a tertiary dizziness clinic based on polysomnogram (PSG). We then assessed the sensitivity and specificity of common OSA questionnaires in this population. RESULTS Twenty-five patients with PPPD underwent PSG (mean age 47, 60% female, mean BMI 29.5). A majority, or 56%, of patients were diagnosed with OSA, and in most, the OSA was severe. OSA patients were older (56 years versus 40 years, p = 0.0006) and had higher BMI (32 versus 26, p = 0.0078), but there was no clear gender bias (56% versus 64% female, p = 1.00). The mean sensitivity and specificity of the STOP BANG questionnaire for detecting OSA was 86% and 55%, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of the Berlin Questionnaire was 79% and 45%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of OSA was much higher in our small PPPD group than in the general population. Screening questionnaires appear to demonstrate good sensitivity to detect PPPD patients at risk of OSA in this small study. Future studies should confirm these findings and determine whether treatment of OSA improves symptoms in PPPD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sleep disturbances are associated with increased risk of migraine, however the extent of shared underlying biology and the direction of causal relationships between these traits is unclear. Delineating causality between sleep patterns and migraine may offer new pathophysiologic insights and inform subsequent intervention studies. Here, we used genetic approaches to test for shared genetic influences between sleep patterns and migraine, and to test whether habitual sleep patterns may be causal risk factors for migraine and vice versa. METHODS To quantify genetic overlap, we performed genome-wide genetic correlation analyses using genome-wide association studies of nine sleep traits in the UK Biobank (n ≥ 237,627), and migraine from the International Headache Genetics Consortium (59,674 cases and 316,078 controls). We then tested for potential causal effects between sleep traits and migraine using bidirectional, two-sample Mendelian randomization. RESULTS Seven sleep traits demonstrated genetic overlap with migraine, including insomnia symptoms (rg = 0.29, P < 10-31 ) and difficulty awakening (rg = 0.11, P < 10-4 ). Mendelian randomization analyses provided evidence for potential causal effects of difficulty awakening on risk of migraine (OR [95% CI] = 1.37 [1.12-1.68], P = 0.002), and nominal evidence that liability to insomnia symptoms increased the risk of migraine (1.09 [1.02-1.16], P = 0.02). In contrast, there was minimal evidence for an effect of migraine liability on sleep patterns or disturbances. INTERPRETATION These data support a shared genetic basis between several sleep traits and migraine, and support potential causal effects of difficulty awakening and insomnia symptoms on migraine risk. Treatment of sleep disturbances may therefore be a promising clinical intervention in the management of migraine.

Patterns of Perceived Stress Throughout the Migraine Cycle: A Longitudinal Cohort Study Using Daily Prospective Diary Data. Headache 2020; 61:90-102. [PMID: 32918830 DOI: 10.1111/head.13943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2020] [Revised: 07/31/2020] [Accepted: 08/01/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe patterns of perceived stress across stages of the migraine cycle, within and between individuals and migraine episodes as defined for this study. METHODS Individuals with migraine aged ≥18 years, who were registered to use the digital health platform N1-HeadacheTM , and completed 90 days of daily data entry regarding migraine, headache symptoms, and lifestyle factors were eligible for inclusion. Perceived stress was rated once a day at the participant's chosen time with a single question, "How stressed have you felt today?" with response options graded on a 0-10 scale. Days were categorized into phases of the migraine cycle: Ppre = pre-migraine headache (the 2 days prior to the first day with migraine headache), P0 = migraine headache days, Ppost = post-migraine headache (the 2 days following the last migraine day with migraine headache), and Pi = interictal days (all other days). Episodes, defined as discrete occurrences of migraine with days in all 4 phases, were eligible if there was at least 1 reported daily perceived stress value in each phase. Individuals with ≥5 valid episodes, and ≥75% compliance (tracking 90 days in 120 calendar days or less) were eligible for inclusion in the analysis. RESULTS Data from 351 participants and 2115 episodes were included in this analysis. Eighty-six percent of the sample (302/351) were female. The mean number of migraine days per month was 6.1 (range 2-13, standard deviation = 2.3) and the mean number of episodes was 6.0 (range 5-10, standard deviation = 1.0) over the 90-day period. Only 8 (8/351, 2.3%) participants had chronic migraine (defined as 15 or more headache days per month with at least 8 days meeting criteria for migraine). Cluster analysis revealed 3 common patterns of perceived stress variation across the migraine cycle. For cluster 1, the "let down" pattern, perceived stress in the interictal phase (Pi ) falls in the pre-headache phase (Ppre ) and then decreases more in the migraine phase (P0 ) relative to Pi . For cluster 2, the "flat" pattern, perceived stress is relatively unchanging throughout the migraine cycle. For cluster 3, the "stress as a trigger/symptom" pattern, perceived stress in Ppre increases relative to Pi , and increases further in P0 relative to Pi . Episodes were distributed across clusters as follows: cluster 1: 354/2115, 16.7%; cluster 2: 1253/2115, 59.2%, and cluster 3: 508/2115, 24.0%. Twelve participants (12/351, 3.4%) had more than 50% of their episodes fall into cluster 1, 216 participants (216/351, 61.5%) had more than 50% of their episodes fall into cluster 2, and 25 participants (25/351, 7.1%) had more than 50% of their episodes fall into cluster 3. There were 40 participants with ≥90% of their episodes in cluster 2, with no participants having ≥90% of their episodes in cluster 1 or 3. CONCLUSIONS On an aggregate level, perceived stress peaks during the pain phase of the migraine cycle. However, on an individual and episode basis, there are 3 dominant patterns of perceived stress variation across the migraine cycle. Elucidating how patterns of perceived stress vary across the migraine cycle may contribute insights into disease biology, triggers and protective factors, and provide a framework for targeting individualized treatment plans.

[PMID: 32751117 PMCID: PMC7432244 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17155456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2020] [Revised: 07/27/2020] [Accepted: 07/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background: Many factors are thought to potentially trigger migraines, among which sleep disturbances are one of the most frequently reported. Both sleep disorders and migraines affect more women than men. This study aims to analyze sleep alterations in young adult women with migraines and how they are related to the presence, frequency, intensity, and disability of migraines in this population. Methods: Fifty-one female university students with physician-diagnosed migraines and 55 healthy female university students completed surveys assessing demographic information and frequency, intensity, and disability of migraines and sleep quality variables. Results: No differences in sleep quality were found between migraine subjects and healthy women (p = 0.815), but women with migraines presented higher daytime somnolence (p = 0.010), greater sleep disruptions (p = 0.002), and decreased sleep adequacy (p = 0.019). The presence of a migraine was significantly related to daytime somnolence (p = 0.003) and sleep disruptions (p = 0.021). Migraine-related disability was associated with sleep disruptions (p = 0.002), snoring (p = 0.016), and a decreased quantity of sleep (p = 0.040). Migraine frequency was related to sleep disturbance (p = 0.003) and snoring (p < 0.001). The intensity of migraines was associated with sleep disruptions (p = 0.004). Conclusions: Our results suggest a relationship between migraines and sleep alterations.

Mirmosayyeb O, Shaygannejad V, Ghajarzadeh M. Comparison of Psychological Difficulties in Patients with Migraine and Epilepsy Using PARADISE-24 Questionnaire. J Multidiscip Healthc 2020; 13:609-613. [PMID: 32764953 PMCID: PMC7368128 DOI: 10.2147/jmdh.s260056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2020] [Accepted: 06/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with migraine or epilepsy suffer from a wide range of psychological difficulties, and various instruments are needed to separately assess each difficulty. However, the PARADISE-24 questionnaire is a comprehensive questionnaire for evaluating different psychological difficulties in cases with neurological disorders. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare psychological difficulties in patients with migraine and those with epilepsy by using the PARADISE-24 questionnaire. METHODS Overall, 240 migraineurs and 210 patients with epilepsy were enrolled. All the participants were asked to fill the Persian version of the PARADISE-24 questionnaire. RESULTS In migraineurs, the mean age and mean headache severity (by means of visual analogue scale, VAS) were 38.6±11.6 and 6.8±2.8, respectively. In patients with epilepsy, the mean age and mean duration of the disease were 33.6±13.4 and 12±10.3 years, respectively. The mean PARADISE score was significantly higher in migraineurs than in epileptic cases (57.9±12 vs 50.7±15.1) (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Patients with migraine suffer more from psychological difficulties than epileptic cases. This finding could help physicians to pay more attention to psychological well-being.

United States Patients' Perspective of Living With Migraine: Country-Specific Results From the Global "My Migraine Voice" Survey. Headache 2020; 60:1351-1364. [PMID: 32369201 PMCID: PMC7496834 DOI: 10.1111/head.13829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2019] [Revised: 04/11/2020] [Accepted: 04/12/2020] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
Background Migraine is associated with debilitating symptoms that can affect daily functioning. “My Migraine Voice” was a large, cross‐sectional, multi‐country online survey aimed at understanding disease burden directly from people with migraine. Objective This study reports on the social and economic impacts of migraine, specifically the impact on activities of daily living and the costs of migraine, from the point of view of people with migraine in the United States. Methods The online survey was administered to adults with a self‐reported diagnosis of migraine who experienced 4 or more monthly migraine days each month for the previous 3 months. Prespecified screening quotas were used so that 90% of respondents reported current or past use of preventive migraine medication, 80% of whom switched treatment (ie, changed their prescribed preventive medication at least once). The remaining 10% were preventive treatment naïve (ie, never used any prescribed preventive medication). Burden of migraine on activities of daily living and caregivers (eg, functional limitations, fear of next migraine attack, sleep problems) and economic burden (eg, out‐of‐pocket costs, impact on work productivity using the validated work productivity and activity impairment questionnaire) reported by respondents from the United States are presented. Results are stratified by employment status, migraine frequency (chronic vs episodic migraine), and history of preventive treatment. Results Thousand hundred and one individuals with migraine from the United States responded to the survey. Respondents reported limitations completing daily activities during all migraine phases, including during the premonitory/aura and postdrome phases. Most (761/1101 (69%)) relied on family, friends, or others for help with daily tasks and reported being helped a median of 9 days (25th percentile 5 days, 75th percentile 15 days) within the last 3 months. Respondents with chronic migraine reported being helped for more days (median 10 days, 25th percentile 5 days, 75th percentile 23 days) in the last 3 months. Almost all (962/1101 (87%)) experienced sleep difficulties and 41% (448/1101) (48% (336/697) of those with 2 or more preventive treatment failures) were very or extremely fearful of a next migraine attack. Median (25th percentile, 75th percentile) monthly out‐of‐pocket costs of $90.00 ($30.00, $144.00) in doctor’s fees (n = 504), $124.00 ($60.00, $234.00) in health insurance (n = 450), $40.00 ($20.00, $100.00) for prescriptions (n = 630), and $50.00 ($0.00, $100.00) for complementary therapies (n = 255) were reported. Those with 2 or more preventive treatment failures reported higher monthly out‐of‐pocket doctor fees (median $99.00 ($30.00, $150.00), n = 388). Among employed respondents (n = 661), migraine resulted in 22% absenteeism, 60% presenteeism, 65% work productivity loss, and 64% activity impairment. Conclusions Migraine impacts individuals’ activities of daily living, work‐life, and financial status, especially individuals with high needs, namely those with 4 or more monthly migraine days and prior treatment failures. People with migraine are impaired during all migraine phases, experience fear of their next migraine attack and sleep difficulties, and pay substantial monthly out‐of‐pocket costs for migraine. Burden is even greater among those who have had 2 or more preventive treatment failures. Impacts of migraine extend beyond probands to caregivers who help people with migraine with daily tasks, employers who are affected by employee absenteeism, presenteeism, and reduced productivity, and society which is burdened by lost and reduced economic productivity and healthcare costs.

Abstract
Chronic migraine is a neurological disorder characterized by 15 or more headache days per month of which at least 8 days show typical migraine features. The process that describes the development from episodic migraine into chronic migraine is commonly referred to as migraine transformation or chronification. Ample studies have attempted to identify factors associated with migraine transformation from different perspectives. Understanding CM as a pathological brain state with trigeminovascular participation where biological changes occur, we have completed a comprehensive review on the clinical, epidemiological, genetic, molecular, structural, functional, physiological and preclinical evidence available.

Comorbid and co-occurring conditions in migraine and associated risk of increasing headache pain intensity and headache frequency: results of the migraine in America symptoms and treatment (MAST) study. J Headache Pain 2020; 21:23. [PMID: 32122324 PMCID: PMC7053108 DOI: 10.1186/s10194-020-1084-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 136] [Impact Index Per Article: 34.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2019] [Accepted: 02/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Migraine has many presumed comorbidities which have rarely been compared between samples with and without migraine. Examining the association between headache pain intensity and monthly headache day (MHD) frequency with migraine comorbidities is novel and adds to our understanding of migraine comorbidity. Methods The MAST Study is a prospective, web-based survey that identified US population samples of persons with migraine (using modified International Classification of Headache Disorders-3 beta criteria) and without migraine. Eligible migraine participants averaged ≥1 MHDs over the prior 3 months. Comorbidities “confirmed by a healthcare professional diagnosis” were endorsed by respondents from a list of 21 common cardiovascular, neurologic, psychiatric, sleep, respiratory, dermatologic, pain and medical comorbidities. Multivariable binary logistic regression calculated odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals for each condition between the two groups adjusting for sociodemographics. Modeling within the migraine cohort assessed rates of conditions as a function of headache pain intensity, MHD frequency, and their combination. Results Analyses included 15,133 people with migraine (73.0% women, 77.7% White, mean age 43 years) and 77,453 controls (46.4% women, 76.8% White, mean age 52 years). People with migraine were significantly (P < 0.001) more likely to report insomnia (OR 3.79 [3.6, 4.0]), depression (OR 3.18 [3.0, 3.3]), anxiety (OR 3.18 [3.0 3.3]), gastric ulcers/GI bleeding (OR 3.11 [2.8, 3.5]), angina (OR 2.64 [2.4, 3.0]) and epilepsy (OR 2.33 [2.0, 2.8]), among other conditions. Increasing headache pain intensity was associated with comorbidities related to inflammation (psoriasis, allergy), psychiatric disorders (depression, anxiety) and sleep conditions (insomnia). Increasing MHD frequency was associated with increased risk for nearly all conditions and most prominent among those with comorbid gastric ulcers/GI bleeding, diabetes, anxiety, depression, insomnia, asthma and allergies/hay fever. Conclusions In regression models controlled for sociodemographic variables, all conditions studied were reported more often by those with migraine. Whether entered into the models separately or together, headache pain intensity and MHD frequency were associated with increased risk for many conditions. Future work is required to understand the causal sequence of relationships (direct causality, reverse causality, shared underlying predisposition), the potential confounding role of healthcare professional consultation and treatment, and potential detection bias.
