“…The brains of such infants are more sensitive to environmental stimuli and manifest this sensitivity in the form of excessive crying (32). IC is recognized to be associated with the development of migraine in older ages (6).…”

“…Besides, it is more common in families experiencing childcare for the first time (3)(4)(5). They not only have periods of abdominal pain, excessive crying, and insomnia in early infancy but also may experience behavioral and mood disorders, hyperactivity, and migraine at older ages (6,7). Additionally, uncontrollable crying causes stress and anxiety in parents and can even impose the risk of abuse on the infant (8).…”

Parental Factors Affecting the Incidence of Infantile Colic: A Systematic Review

et al. 2021

Context: Infantile Colic (IC) is an essential problem in infancy that is influenced by factors related to infants and parents. The parental factors associated with colic have not been comprehensively assessed. Objectives: The present systematic review was conducted to investigate the parental factors affecting the incidence of IC. Data Sources: Databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct, Google scholar, as well as Scientific Information Database (SID), and Magiran (Iranian websites) were searched to identify all eligible papers concerning parental factors affecting infantile CI. The registration number of this study was CRD42020163518 in the PROSPERO database. Study Selection: A total of 423 relevant articles published up to the end of December 2019 were assessed. The selected articles were screened based on duplicated, eligibility criteria, and quality appraisal. The main inclusion criteria were observational studies and articles in Persian and English languages. Data Extraction: The Mesh keywords and Boolean operators included (“risk factors” OR “causality”) AND (“parents” OR “fathers” OR “mothers”) AND (“infant”) AND (“colic”). Consequently, 18 papers were thoroughly studied and the related data were extracted. Two researchers independently performed the data extraction and quality assessment based on the STROBE checklist from the observational studies. The information of selected studies was recorded in a table, i.e. consisted of authors’ names, purpose, design, population, and main results. Results: Final articles consisted of 10 prospective, 6 cross-sectional, and 2 case-control studies. Eventually, the effective factors were placed in 6 categories, as follows: psychological factors, physical factors, taking medications, perinatal factors, family’s socioeconomic status, and maternal diet. The most important characteristics predisposing to IC were parental depression, anxiety, smoking, maternal history of migraine, young age, primiparity, low family support, high socioeconomic status, high-risk pregnancies, and delivery, taking antibiotics, as well as the consumption of celery, onions, and bananas. Conclusions: Various parental factors affect the incidence of colic. Identifying these risk factors and accurate planning can be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of IC.

“…In follow-up studies of children between 5 years old 73 and 10 years old, 74 an increase in sleep disorders, aggression or anger, and ADHD have been observed. 75 Concerning somatic health problems, infantile colic has now been linked to recurrent abdominal pain 74 and migraine 29,30,76,77 in numerous studies. The first case report linking migraine to infantile colic was published by Katerji and Painter 78 in 1994 and describes an infantile migraine presenting as colic.…”

“…To date, reviews have studied either the association of abdominal variants or the functional abdominal pain disorders with migraine (Table 1). 13,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] In this review, we aim to define the different abdominal variants of migraine (AM, CVS, and infantile colic) and the functional abdominal pain disorders associated with migraine (IBS and dyspepsia) (Table 2), to describe their relation to migraine (Table 3), their epidemiology and their evolution within the pediatric population, and finally to discuss current therapeutic management.…”

Migraine is one of the most frequent causes of primary headache and 9% of children suffer from migraines. Most children will continue to experience migraine attacks as adults, therefore it is imperative that we have a thorough understanding of this major health issue. This article considers the so-called abdominal variants of migraine, which are more commonly seen in children rather than adults: abdominal migraine, cyclic vomiting syndrome, and infantile colic. Other functional abdominal pain disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia have also been linked to migraine in clinical studies. The common pathophysiological root of these diseases seems to be the gut-brain axis mechanism. Abdominal variants of migraine are considered pediatric precursors of migraine whereas the functional abdominal pain disorders related to migraine seem to share a pathophysiological root with no temporarily link as for today. In this review we aim to describe the epidemiological background, the current pathophysiological theories and the relationship of each disease to migraine. This review is the first to compile abdominal variants of migraine and functional abdominal pain disorders associated with migraine and we endeavor to elucidate the broad spectrum of migraine-related episodes in children.

“…Except for left-handedness (45), associations were found between migraine and the increased risk of phosphene (36), RLS (37), epilepsy (38), infant colic (40), suicidal contemplations (41), SSNHL (18), asthma (42), depression ( 43), primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) ( 44), together with attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (46). One meta-analysis reported a statistically significant inverse association between migraine and total breast cancer risk (39).…”

Migraine and Medical Ramifications: A Comprehensive Overview Based on Observational Study Meta-Analyses

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose: An umbrella review was conducted for comprehensively evaluating previous review-based literature together with meta-analysis of observational investigations probing correlations between migraine and medical end-point ramifications in patients. The breadth and validity of these associations were assessed.Methods: Multiple online scientific repositories (including PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Web of Science) were investigated (inception-August 2021) for related meta-analyses focusing on links between migraine and all possible health/medical ramification end-points. A summary effect size and 95% CIs were determined for each identified study with such links. Heterogeneity and small-study influence traces were also evaluated. The AMSTAR 2 platform was employed for evaluating standards of methodology, together with objective criteria, for assessing the standards of datasets from each medical end-point scrutinized in this study.Results: A total of 25 scientific reports comprising 10,237,230 participants for 49 meta-analyses of observational studies were selected. Among such 49 outcomes, 30 demonstrated statistical significance (P < 0.05). Significant associations were observed in multiple diseases, including cardiovascular/cerebrovascular, cerebral, pregnancy-related and metabolic disorders, other outcomes, and mortality.Conclusion: The results showed that migraine increased the risk of 29 health outcomes, though lowered the risk of breast cancer. However, evidence quality was graded as high only for angina. The evidence quality of ischaemic stroke, stroke, MACCE, WMAs, and asthma was graded as moderate. All remaining 24 outcomes had an evidence grade of “weak.”
