The albumin/globulin ratio (AGR) is a parameter that considers two proteins that are indicators of inflammation and has been shown to increase in some inflammatory diseases. No study has evaluated the relationship between RLS and AGR yet.

- The study investigates the relationship between headaches and idiopathic/genetic epilepsy (I/GE) in patients aged 6-40 years, focusing on headache prevalence and characteristics among these individuals.
- Out of 809 patients, 62.8% reported headaches, with 87.4% experiencing interictal headaches and 41.2% having migraines; the analysis identified distinct clusters based on headache and epilepsy features for both adults and children/adolescents.
- Two primary clusters emerged: one included patients with a family history of headaches and specific seizure types (like juvenile myoclonic epilepsy), while the other contained patients with different characteristics, including those with self-limited epilepsy and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. *
