“…Using the same data collection method, a study in Hail city reported a lower prevalence of IBS (11.8%) than our findings in the northern region (18.2%). This could be due to the fact that their study results were limited to Hail city, compared to our result, which pertains to the entirety of the northern region [16]. Our report of IBS prevalence in the central region (21%) is lower than an article that utilized the old Rome-III criteria, which found a prevalence of 30.5%.…”

“…The first was done in the southern region of Saudi Arabia, Jazan, which showed a total IBS prevalence of 16%. In contrast, the second study, conducted in Hail, located in the northern region of Saudi Arabia, discovered that 11.8 percent of participants had IBS [15,16]. Overall, the literature on IBS prevalence in Saudi Arabia is higher than the worldwide estimates.…”

Migraine is a primary headache disorder with a prevalence of 11.6% globally and 27% in Saudi Arabia. Irritable bowel syndrome has a prevalence of 9.2% worldwide. The prevalence of IBS has not been established nationally. However, provincial studies for both migraine and IBS have been conducted across the nation. There is a significant link between migraines and IBS globally. This identifies an association that needs to be investigated in a nationwide manner. This study aims to observe the association and the relationship between migraine and irritable bowel syndrome in Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted between March 2021 to June 2021 among the general population of Saudi Arabia, whose ages are 15 years old or greater. The data collection tools included MS-Q for migraine symptoms, MIGSEV scale for severity of migraine, and The IBS module of the Rome IV Diagnostic Questionnaire (R4DQ) for IBS symptoms and its subtype. With a total of 2802 participants, the majority of the study sample were males, who constituted 52.5%. Among the study's sample, the prevalence of migraine consisted of 27.4%, and the prevalence of IBS was 16.4%. The odds of having IBS in migraineurs were much higher than in those without migraines (OR 4.127; 95% CI 3.325-5.121), and the association was statistically significant (P&lt;0.001). In conclusion, there is a strong association between migraine and irritable bowel syndrome in Saudi Arabia.

“…Consistent with a recent study that was conducted by Alharbi et al .,[ 25 ] which investigated the prevalence of IBS and the most common subtypes among the northern Saudi population employing Rome IV criteria, we found that the most common subtype is IBS-M followed by IBS-C, -D and -U. However, Alharbi et al .…”

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common chronic functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of IBS and its risk factors among the general population of Saudi Arabia, as there is no previous study has done so. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out to evaluate the prevalence of IBS, IBS subtypes and IBS risk factors among the general population of Saudi Arabia from June 22 to November 30, 2019. A designed questionnaire that is based on ROME IV criteria and licensed from Rome Foundation was used. A total of 1,680 eligible individuals from different parts of Saudi Arabia took part in this national survey and were included in the statistical analysis. The statistical analysis was carried out using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program (version 22). Results: The prevalence of IBS in the study was 18.2%. IBS-M was the most common subtype among IBS patients (42.3%). Risk factors that are significantly associated with IBS were shown to be smoking habits, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), food allergy, anxiety, psychological stress, family history of IBS, regular use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), history of infection before occurrence of symptoms and residence in the south of Saudi Arabia ( P < 0.05*). Conclusions: IBS is prevalent in Saudi Arabia. The most common risk factor among IBS patients is a positive family history of IBS (80%). Raising public awareness and further prospective studies are both advocated and needed.

“…The southern region had a comparable IBS prevalence (14.9%) to a research conducted in Jazan (16%), which employed the same data collection tool for IBS symptoms measurement [ 15 ]. Using the same data collection method, a study in Hail city reported a lower prevalence of IBS (11.8%) than our findings in the northern region (18.2%) [ 16 ]. This could be because their study results were limited to Hail city, compared to our result, which pertains to the entirety of the northern region.…”

Migraine is a primary headache disorder with a prevalence of 11.6% globally and 27% in Saudi Arabia. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has a prevalence of 9.2% worldwide. The prevalence of IBS has not been established nationally. However, provincial studies for migraine and IBS have been conducted nationwide. There is a significant link between migraine and IBS globally. Migraineurs had a considerably greater prevalence of IBS than nonmigraineurs ( OR = 2.49 , 95% CI 2.22-2.78). Patients with IBS have 60% higher odds for migraines. This identifies an association that needs to be investigated in a nationwide manner. The study has two main aims. The first is to measure the prevalence of migraine and irritable bowel syndrome in Saudi Arabia. The second is to observe the association and the relationship between migraine and irritable bowel syndrome in Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among the general population of Saudi Arabia between March 2021 and June 2021, whose ages are 15 years old or greater. Participants filled an online self-administered survey. The data collection tools included the Migraine Screen Questionnaire (MS-Q) for migraine symptoms, migraine severity (MIGSEV) scale for severity of migraine, and the IBS module of the Rome IV Diagnostic Questionnaire (R4DQ) for IBS symptoms and their subtype. With 2802 participants, the majority of the study samples were males, who constituted 52.5%. Among the study’s sample, the prevalence of migraine consisted of 27.4%, and the prevalence of IBS was 16.4%. The odds of having IBS in migraineurs were much higher than in those without migraine (OR 4.127; 95% CI 3.325-5.121), and the association was statistically significant ( p < 0.001 ). In conclusion, there is a strong association between migraine and irritable bowel syndrome in Saudi Arabia.
