Migraine patients experience more fainting (syncope) and difficulty standing (orthostatic intolerance). However, these autonomic nervous system symptoms are not linked to migraine severity or type.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Cardiology
  • Autonomic Nervous System Research

Background:

  • Migraine is a common neurological disorder.
  • Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction can manifest in various symptoms, including syncope and orthostatic intolerance.
  • The relationship between migraine and ANS symptoms requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between migraine and syncope-related autonomic nervous system (ANS) symptoms.
  • To compare the prevalence of syncope, orthostatic intolerance, orthostatic hypotension (OH), and postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) in migraineurs and control groups.

Main Methods:

  • A population-based study involving migraineurs (n=323) and control subjects (n=153).
  • Utilized a systematic questionnaire and cardiovascular measurements during rest, standing, and after venipuncture.

  • Assessed lifetime prevalence of syncope, orthostatic intolerance, OH, and POTS.

    • Main Results:

    • Overall syncope prevalence was 41%, higher in women.
    • Migraineurs showed significantly higher lifetime prevalence of syncope (46% vs 31%), frequent syncope (13% vs 5%), and orthostatic intolerance (32% vs 12%) compared to controls.
    • No significant differences in POTS or OH prevalence, nor association between ANS symptoms and migraine severity or subtype.

    Conclusions:

    • Migraineurs exhibit an increased prevalence of syncope and orthostatic intolerance.
    • These findings suggest a link between migraine and these ANS symptoms, even without clear interictal signs of autonomic dysfunction.
