“…In some case-control studies, a higher frequency of migraine without aura is found in patients with SLE [15], antiphospholipid antibody syndrome [16], and Sjogren syndrome [17] than in controls. In SLE [18] and Sjogren syndrome patients [17], the frequency of chronic tension headache is higher than controls also. Recently, a variety of autoimmune disorders have been disclosed in 61% of stabbing headache patients [19].…”

“…Autoimmune disorders are currently proposed as provoking primary headache syndromes by an involvement of the trigeminal nucleus or tract through inflammation, demyelination or vasculitic ischemia [15][16][17][18][19][20]. In NH, the painful area is generally located at the parietal area which is innervated by the ophthalmic branch of trigeminal nerve.…”

“…Another study focusing on the risk of newly diagnosed asthma showed that the relative risk of developing asthma in migraineurs was 1.17 compared with non-migraineurs [2]. Moreover, although the association with irritable bowel disease, endometriosis, celiac disorder and LES has been investigated, further studies are needed to confirm the hypothesis [2,[27][28][29][30][31].…”

The burden of migraine strongly increases considering its linkage with other psychiatric, neurological, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Migraine is positively associated with many disorders: some are confirmed by several studies whereas others remain uncertain or controversial. The association with some disorders is not simply due to concomitance but it implies a linkage in terms of causality. Highlighting these relationships is important to improve treatment strategies, broaden our knowledge of the pathophysiology and understand if migraine is per se a modifiable risk factor for some disorders.

“…Later, other researchers began to explore the relationship between these two clinical abnormalities. All studies have confirmed the association between migraine and MS. 2,5,11,13 Some studies such as studies done by Vecca, Katsiari and Nicoletti did not find any significant relationship between MS and migraine with aura. 11,12,14 Conversely, the very researchers found a significant association between MS and the occurrence of migraine without aura.…”

Background: Each person experiences headaches in his/her life. Some studies have shown a significant relationship between Migraine and MS. In these patients there can be a variety of clinical symptoms such as muscle weakness, sensory loss, ataxia, optic neuritis. Optic neuritis in MS is a relatively common symptom that can cause blurred vision, headaches (especially frontal ones) and painful eye movements. Headache is a clinical symptom that makes people visit neurologists. There are several diagnoses for headaches including migraine. In this study, we evaluated the possibility of a significant relationship between migraine and MS. Methods: In this case-control study, 134 MS patients and 134 sex and age matched controls were selected randomly from all patients referred to hospital. Their information about MS and migraine was collected and analyzed by SPSS v.21. Results: The Mean age of cases in this study was 41.5±9.4 years. The gender of 73.13% of patients was female. In MS patients with chronic headaches, 36 people (42.9%) and in Controls 22 people (38.6%) had migraine. In this study it was found that people with MS, experience more migraine attacks compared to the controls (OR=3 and P=0.05). Further investigation showed that, unlike aura type, migraine without aura had a significant relation with the MS (OR=1.94 and P=0.04). Also, it seems that the number of migraine attacks in patients with MS is significantly more than the controls. Conclusions: Finally it seems that there is a positive association between MS and migraine. The relationship between migraine without aura and MS is obvious, but the relation between aura type and MS is not clear, yet.

Headache in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus vs Multiple Sclerosis: A Prospective Comparative Study

Abstract: Migraine should be no longer considered a neurologic manifestation of systemic or organ-specific autoimmunity. Increased migraine prevalence in these patients found in previous studies could be due to methodological weaknesses.
