Background: Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations have been shown to be low in patients with migraine, but results are controversial regarding the current role of vitamin D in migraine severity. Using a case-control design, we aimed to evaluate serum 25(OH)D levels in a group of females with high-frequency episodic migraine/chronic migraine (HF/CM) and analyze its association with headache frequency and serum calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) levels.
Methods: Serum 25(OH)D levels were measured in 97 females with HF/CM (age 48.
Introduction: Headache is common in the general population and a frequent reason for medical consultation.
Objectives: To describe the characteristics of patients attending the Emergency Department (ED) for headache.
Methods: A descriptive study with prospective collection of 100 consecutive patients over 15 years old who attended our ED due to headache as the main complaint.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and migraines, focusing on its prevalence in patients with episodic migraines (EM) and chronic migraines (CM).
- The research involved 116 patients, finding that PTSD was more common in those with chronic migraines, and it significantly affected their quality of life and comorbidities like anxiety and depression.
- The findings highlight the need for further studies to explore the impact of PTSD on migraines, particularly in cases linked to traumatic life events such as sexual violence.
Background: Current literature and a real-world study suggest that diroximel fumarate (DRF) is safer than dimethyl fumarate (DMF) in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, no real-world study to date has significantly addressed the efficacy of this treatment.
Objectives: This study aims to elucidate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of DRF in a real-world setting, utilizing data from a Spanish national registry of patients commencing DRF therapy post-market introduction.
