Is allergic rhinitis related to migraine disability in adults?
ABSTRACT Migraine is a chronic condition with complex pathophysiology. Although immunologic disturbances have been linked to migraine, only few attempts have been made to assess the possibility of allergic rhinitis as a worsening factor of migraine in adults. Objective This survey aimed to compare...

| description | ABSTRACT Migraine is a chronic condition with complex pathophysiology. Although immunologic disturbances have been linked to migraine, only few attempts have been made to assess the possibility of allergic rhinitis as a worsening factor of migraine in adults. Objective This survey aimed to compare migraine disability between adult migraineurs with and without current allergic rhinitis. Methods This cross-sectional study comprised 118 adult migraineurs who were consecutively assisted at an outpatient clinic. After ordinary neurological evaluation, participants were evaluated for headache disability using the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS). The presence of current allergic rhinitis, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and seasonal allergic rhinitis was scored for each participant according to the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in questionnaire. Results There was no significant difference between the MIDAS scores of those with current allergic rhinitis, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, or seasonal allergic rhinitis and nonatopic migraineurs. The disability caused by allergic symptoms also did not influence the MIDAS scores of patients with allergic rhinitis. The frequency of headache days during the last three months was higher in the subset of patients without allergic rhinitis (median and interquartile range 12 [8–19.2] vs. 8 [4–14]; p = 0.03). Conclusions Our results suggest that current allergic rhinitis, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and seasonal allergic rhinitis are not related to headache disability in adults with episodic migraine. |
