Background: The recognition of food as the trigger of attacks occurs in approximately 25% of individuals with migraine. However, differentiating migraine food triggers and prodrome symptoms is still a challenge.
Objective: To understand the association of clinical characteristics of migraine with food triggers and to identify predictors of food triggers.
Article Synopsis
- - Migraine affects 14.4% of people globally and involves complex biological processes including brain activation and inflammation.
- - A study of 92 migraine patients and 88 healthy controls examined the frequency of the -899C > T (rs1800587) genetic variant and its link to migraine symptoms.
- - Results showed that the -899C > T variant was connected to aura and osmophobia in migraine patients but not to overall susceptibility to migraines.
Background: Migraine is a genetically determined disorder that predisposes to recurrent episodes of headache. Interleukin (IL)-18 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that seems to play a role in migraine pathophysiology, and its genetic variants could potentially impact susceptibility to migraine.
Objective: To investigate the association between IL18 rs360717 and rs187238 genetic variants with migraine diagnosis and its clinical characteristics.
Introduction: For the most part, migraine afflicts young women who often need to use the hormonal contraceptive method.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of using exogenous estrogen, present in combined hormonal contraceptives (CHC) and progestin-only methods on the prevalence of allodynia in women with migraine.
Methods: Study comprising women diagnosed with migraine, with or without aura, who were not pregnant, breastfeeding, or menopausal.
Background: Headache is one of the most common causes of emergency care and migraines are the most common primary headache in this regard.
Objective: The aim of this research study was to assess the incidence of medical consultations due to headache, along with demographic characteristics and treatments pertaining to cephalalgia that were offered to patients cared for in supplemental healthcare emergency rooms.
Methods: In 2017, a total of 11,105 consultations took place, and 4,865 (43.
