“…As far as rheumatological diseases are concerned, previous studies have focused mainly on cohorts of patients suffering from psoriasis or on cohorts of patients with neuropathic pain and chronic inflammatory diseases, to investigate the physiopathology of pain in chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases (CIRDs), showing that the highest prevalence of migraines was observed in patients with PsA, while the highest prevalence of neuropathic pain was found among patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) [15][16][17].…”

Background: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) are inflammatory diseases with shared genetic backgrounds and clinical comorbidities. Headache, a common global health issue, affects over 50% of adults and encompasses various types, including migraine, tension-type, and cluster headaches. Migraine, the most prevalent, recurrent, and disabling type, is often associated with other medical conditions such as depression, epilepsy, and psoriasis, but little is known about the relationship between autoimmune disease and the risk of migraine. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from July to November 2022, enrolling 286 participants, including 216 with PsA, 70 with axSpA, and 87 healthy controls. Results: Headache prevalence was significantly higher in the PsA (39.81%) and axSpA (45.71%) patients compared to the healthy controls. The prevalence of migraine without aura was also significantly higher in both the PsA (18.52%) and axSpA (28.57%) groups compared to the healthy controls. Conclusions: These findings underscore the high burden of headache and migraine in PsA and axSpA participants, highlighting the need for improved management and treatment strategies for these patients.
