IntroductionObesity is a multifactorial disease and is defined by the excessive accumulation of adipose tissue that can cause harm to human health. The presence of obesity is an important risk factor for migraine chronification. However, not much is known about the link between the two diseases. MethodsIn this study, an integrative literature review was conducted to better understand the mechanisms of interaction between migraine and obesity. Therefore, a search of PubMed and the Virtual Health Library (VHL) was performed with the following keywords: enxaqueca e obesidade; enxaqueca e obesidade e inflamação; enxaqueca e obesidade e neuropeptídeos; migraine and obesity; migraine and obesity and inflammation; migraine and obesity and neuropeptides. ResultsThe search identified 22 articles. After reading and analyzing the articles, three thematic categories emerged: 1) Obesity as an Aggravating Factor for Migraine 2) Mechanisms Studied between Obesity and Migraine 3) The Effect of Weight Loss on Migraine Symptoms. ConclusionsThe chronic low-grade inflammation associated with obesity can cause a predisposition to migraine chronification. The abnormal secretion of adipokines, dysregulation of the sympathetic nervous system, and hypothalamic dysfunction have been suggested to be the main shared mechanisms between both diseases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
