“…Also among adult females the migraine was associated with syncope [46] and carried a higher risk for ortostatic intolerance [47]. Curfman et al [48] reported that nearly one-third of their recurrent syncope subjects met the criteria for syncopal migraine. Clinically they had similar clinical complaints as other migranours, and the anti-migraine treatment reduced syncope in half of the syncope migraine subjects.…”

“…Because migraine can be a lifelong condition, patient education on preventive strategies that minimize the impact on the individual’s life and reduces the potential occurrence of a migraine related complication is essential. There are many diseases that have been identified as comorbidities of migraine, such as restless legs syndrome (RLS) [2], hypertension [3], syncope [4], depression [5] and increased risk of vascular incidents [6]. These conditions eventually contribute to the overall morbidity.…”

Background: We aimed to assess the prevalence of headache and migraine, along with comorbidities, in a large Saudi sample. Methods: Self-reported information was collected about headache, migraine and migraine comorbidities including depression, restless legs syndrome (RLS), syncope, bruxism, hypertension and ischaemic disease. The OR was estimated using logistic regression for any associations with headache and migraine. We then analyzed to find a trend of increasing migraine symptoms for each significant comorbidity. Results: Out of 4,943 respondents, 4,158 (84.12%) had recurring headaches. Migraine was present in 1,333 (26.97%), with female predominance (ratio of 1: 2.9). There were statistically significant ORs between migraine and female sex, current smokers, higher income, hypertension, depression, syncope, RLS and bruxism. Non-migraine headaches were significantly associated with female sex, age, RLS and ischaemic disease. Migraine with aura was significantly associated with syncope, ischaemic disease, higher income and BMI. There was an overall significant trend of increasing migraine features in the presence of depression, syncope, RLS, bruxism and hypertension. Conclusions: Headache in general and migraine in particular are associated with multiple comorbidities in comparison to non-headache participants in our cohort, with an estimated prevalence similar to that of western countries.

Objectives In evaluating the historical context of the first description of Menière’s disease, its association with migraine headaches is compelling. We have outlined the events and observations of Prosper Menière, which led him to establish a link between migraine headaches and his eponymous disease. Study Design Prosper Menière’s original French writings were translated by our group and used to recount his observations and thoughts. Miles Atkinson’s English translations were used as a reference. Additional otological texts of the era were also reviewed as it relates to Menière’s disease. Methods Prosper Menière wrote a series of four papers one year before his death. In one of these papers, he makes references to migraine headaches on several occasions. These original writings were analyzed, and the physical findings he described were interpreted based on their relation to migraine headaches. Results The passages in his published papers provide historical insight into Menière’s observations. His writings describe in detail symptoms of migraine headaches uniquely evident in his patient population. Through his observations, he recognized that in addition to exhibiting symptoms of tinnitus, hearing loss and vertigo his patients also suffered from migraine headaches. Conclusions Although his colleagues discounted Menière’s theory concerning migraine headaches, he continued to make deductive inferences and publish his findings, leading to the association of migraine headaches and Menière’s disease. Today, this association continues to be debated, adding to Prosper Menière’s legacy.

Syncopal migraine

Abstract: Syncope may have a migrainous basis more commonly than previously suspected, and we suggested criteria to identify these patients. Syncopal migraine appears epidemiologically more closely related to migraine than to reflex syncope.
