Background: Results regarding the association between migraine and risk of stroke are inconsistent.

Methods: A literature search of the databases (Web of Science, Google Scholar and PubMed) was made before December 2021. STATA 12.0 software was used. Odds ratios (ORs) or relative risks (RRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) regarding migraine and risk of stroke were computed.

Results: Migraine was associated with increased risks of total stroke, ischemic stroke (IS) and haemorrhagic stroke (HS) (total stroke: OR/RR = 1.62; 95% CI: 1.44-1.83, I = 95.8%, p < 0.001; IS: OR/RR = 1.70; 95% CI: 1.47-1.98, I = 96.1%, p < 0.001; HS: OR/RR = 1.35; 95% CI: 1.11-1.63, I = 85.7%, p < 0.001). Migraine with aura was related to increased risks of total stroke, IS and HS (total stroke: OR/RR = 1.95; 95% CI: 1.62-2.34, I = 89.7%, p < 0.001; IS: OR/RR = 2.17; 95% CI: 1.78-2.64, I = 89.2%, p < 0.001; HS: OR/RR = 1.30; 95% CI: 1.04-1.62, I = 46.3%, p = 0.114). Migraine without aura was related to increased risks of total stroke, IS and HS (total stroke: OR/RR = 1.35; 95% CI: 1.18-1.55, I = 85.4%, p < 0.001; IS: OR/RR = 1.34; 95% CI: 1.11-1.62, I = 87.8%, p < 0.001; HS: OR/RR = 1.29; 95% CI: 1.04-1.61, I = 64.8%, p = 0.023).

Conclusions: Migraine is associated with a higher risk of total stroke and IS. However, the association between migraine and risk of HS is with more uncertainty.

Background: Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) types 1-3 are associated with protein-altering genetic variants in , and , respectively. These genes have also been linked to epilepsy. Previous studies primarily focused on phenotypes, examining genetic variants in individuals with characteristic FHM symptoms.

Safety Assessment of Influenza Vaccination for Neurological Outcomes Among Older Adults in Japan: A Self-Controlled Case Series Study.

Pharmacoepidemiol Drug Saf

January 2025

Department of Clinical Epidemiology & Health Economics, School of Public Health, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.

Purpose: To assess adverse neurological risks following influenza vaccination in older adults.

Methods: Using a linked database of healthcare administrative claims data and vaccination records from an urban city in Japan (April 1, 2014, to March 31, 2020), we conducted an observational study utilizing a self-controlled case series design. We identified individuals aged ≥ 65 years who experienced adverse neurological outcomes, defined as hospitalizations related to epilepsy, paralysis, facial paralysis, neuralgia, neuritis, optic neuritis, migraine, extrapyramidal disorders, Guillain-Barre syndrome, or narcolepsy.

Background And Purpose: Vestibular migraine (VM) is a common clinical disorder with a genetic predisposition characterized by recurrent episodes of dizziness/vertigo. Patients often complain of the presence of cognitive dysfunction manifestations such as memory loss, which causes great distress in daily life. In this study, we will explore the characteristics and possible risk factors of VM-related cognitive dysfunction by observing the cognitive function and vestibular function status of VM patients, laying the foundation for further exploration of the mechanisms of VM-related cognitive dysfunction.

Background: While semaglutide, approved for type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), is being investigated as a treatment for brain disorders, concerns over adverse neuropsychiatric events have emerged. More data are therefore needed to assess the effects of semaglutide on brain health. This study provides robust estimates of the risk of neurological and psychiatric outcomes following semaglutide use compared to three other antidiabetic medications.

Background And Objectives: Since the initial description of related hemiplegic migraine (HM), the phenotypic spectrum has expanded from mild episodes in neurotypical individuals to potentially life-threatening events frequently seen in individuals with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. However, the overall longitudinal course throughout childhood remains unknown.

Methods: We analyzed HM and seizure history from electronic medical records in individuals with -related HM, delineating frequency and severity of events in monthly increments through a standardized approach.
