Fibromyalgia Among Patients With Chronic Migraine and Chronic Tension‐Type Headache: A Multicenter Prospective Cross‐Sectional Study

Abstract

FM based on 2010 American College of Rheumatology diagnostic criteria was more prevalent among patients with CM than those with CTTH. Some clinical features and comorbidities of CM varied with the presence of FM.

Painful musculosceletal disorders and depression among working aged migraineurs

“…3 Migraine is among the rare neurological conditions accompanying fibromyalgia. 5,6 Pathophysiology linking these painful disorders remains poorly understood; suggested mechanisms include involvement of peripheral and central sensitization disturbances. 5,6 Pathophysiology linking these painful disorders remains poorly understood; suggested mechanisms include involvement of peripheral and central sensitization disturbances.…”

“…4 The reported comorbidity is high and associates with anxiety, depression, and insomnia. 5,6 Pathophysiology linking these painful disorders remains poorly understood; suggested mechanisms include involvement of peripheral and central sensitization disturbances. 3,7 Neural sensitization has also been shown in other comorbid painful conditions in migraine, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA).…”

Fibromyalgia Among Patients With Chronic Migraine and Chronic Tension‐Type Headache: A Multicenter Prospective Cross‐Sectional Study: A Comment

“…First, the inclusion criteria are not well defined. It is mentioned that, in order to be recruited, patients had to visit a neurology outpatient clinic for the first time in the case of headache; however, another criteria states: “diagnosis of chronic migraine or chronic tensional‐type headache based on the headache history during the previous year.” Also, there is no information about the number of people who were potentially eligible, those who declined to be included, those who were initially selected, nor about those who were abandoned after being recruited; in other words, it would be good that the authors show the flowchart of patients.…”

“…After reading the article by Cho et al, 1 we would like to congratulate the authors for such an interesting investigation, which allows the scientific community to expand knowledge on two complicated diseases: fibromyalgia and migraine.…”

Fibromyalgia Among Patients With Chronic Migraine and Chronic Tension‐Type Headache: A Multicenter Prospective Cross‐Sectional Study – A Response

“…In a comment regarding our article Fibromyalgia among patients with chronic migraine and chronic tension‐type headache: A multicenter prospective cross‐sectional study, Leiva‐Calderón and Mayorga‐Moreno discussed the diagnostic process for chronic migraine (CM) and chronic tension‐type headache (CTTH), and the statistical method for comparing frequency of localized pain between two conditions.…”
