Article Synopsis
- The study focused on understanding headache types in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), examining 110 MS patients at Smolensk State Medical University between April and May 2023.
- Results revealed that migraines were the most common type of headache, affecting 85% of MS patients, while tension headaches were only found in 15%. No significant links were identified between headaches and factors like age or treatment type.
