Non-headache symptoms in migraine patients

Ping-Kun Chen et al. F1000Res. .

Abstract

Migraine is one of the most common neurological disorders. In addition to severe headaches, non-headache symptoms associated with migraine attacks as well as co-morbid disorders frequently aggravate the disabling of migraine patients. Some of these symptoms are related to poor outcomes. In this review, we update the advances of studies on certain non-headache symptoms, including visual disturbance, gastrointestinal symptoms, allodynia, vestibular symptoms, and symptoms of co-morbid restless legs syndrome and psychiatric disorders.

Keywords: allodynia; depression; migraine; restless legs syndrome; visual disturbance.
