Article Synopsis
- - Post-stroke dysphagia affects many patients, with 22% showing swallowing difficulties upon hospital admission, which lessens slightly by discharge (16.2% still affected).
- - Research involving 882 ischemic stroke patients found that over half (52.2%) experienced post-stroke fatigue, and those with dysphagia had significantly higher rates of fatigue (68.4% vs. 49.0%).
- - Dysphagia not only increases fatigue risk but remains an independent factor even after considering other influences, highlighting the need for tailored interventions to improve patient outcomes and quality of life after stroke.
Migraine and stroke are neurological disorders with significant global prevalence and impact. Recent advances in migraine therapy have focused on the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway. This review examines the shared pathomechanisms between migraine and stroke, with emphasis on the role of CGRP.

Methods: The data of patients with acute ischemic stroke from two large representative cohorts (STROKE-CARD trial 2014-2019 and STROKE-CARD registry 2020-2022 - both study center Innsbruck, Austria) were analyzed for the presence of dysphagia at hospital admission (clinical swallowing examination).
