Migraine during COVID-19: Data from Second Wave Pandemic in an Italian Cohort. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates how the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic affected migraine characteristics in patients who were previously assessed during the first wave.
  • The research involved a structured telephone interview with 304 migraine patients, comparing their migraine experiences before and during both pandemic phases.
  • Findings indicated that headache frequency, intensity, and reliance on medication worsened during the second wave, particularly among episodic migraine sufferers, linked to increased emotional stress from the ongoing pandemic.

Article Abstract

Objectives: The study aims to assess the impact of the second COVID-19 pandemic wave on migraine characteristics.

Methods: This is an observational cross-sectional study conducted on migraine patients previously interviewed during the first Italian pandemic outbreak. A second structured telephone interview was conducted between 20 November 2020 and 18 January 2021. We compared migraine characteristics among T0 (before pandemic), T1 (during the first pandemic phase), and T2 (during the second pandemic phase).

Results: Among the 433 patients interviewed during the first pandemic phase, 304 cases were finally considered. One hundred forty-eight patients had a control visit between March 2020 and December 2020, 120 had an in-person visit, 14 by phone, the remainder used telemedicine software provided by the hospital. Frequency of headache, number of symptomatic drugs and headache intensity worsened during T2, compared to T0 and T1, especially in episodic migraine. Headache intensity increased relating to the negative emotional impact of the pandemic. Migraine management during the pandemic did not influence the clinical outcome.

Conclusion: The prolongation of the pandemic seems to have a negative impact on migraine evolution. The arousal and negative psychological behavior toward the COVID-19 outbreak seem to worsen migraine.
