Sleep quality, migraine, and migraine burden: Is there a link?
Key clinical point: Poor sleep quality significantly increased the risk of developing migraine and migraine-related burden.
Major finding: Poor sleep quality was more prevalent in patients with migraine vs healthy controls (66.9% vs 24.3%; P < .001), with the risk for migraine being 3.981-times higher in those with poor vs good sleep quality (P = .001). Poor sleep quality in patients with migraine was significantly associated with increases in total pain burden, decreased quality of life, and increased anxiety and depression (all Ptrend < .05).
Study details: Findings are from a case-control and cross-sectional analysis including 134 patients with migraine with or without aura and 70 sex- and age-matched healthy controls.
,Disclosures: This study was supported by the Elite Medical Professionals project of China-Japan Friendship Hospital. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
