Pathophysiological Bases of Comorbidity in Migraine.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a multidisciplinary approach to identify and eliminate possible risk and comorbidity factors for the treatment of migraine, which is designed to maintain brain homeostasis by regulating homeostatic needs such as normal subcortico-cortical excitability, energy balance, osmoregulation, and emotional response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Migraine and Yawning

TL;DR: The aim of this cross‐sectional study is to investigate the frequency of yawning during migraine attacks and its association with different characteristics of migraine.
Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of imperfect screening tools on measuring the prevalence of epilepsy and headaches in Burkina Faso.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in some settings, the prevalence of epilepsy and WSCH can be considerably underestimated when using the two-step approach, and an analytic solution is provided to obtain more valid prevalence estimates of these neurological disorders, although more community-based validity studies are needed to reduce the uncertainty of the estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Headache in people with epilepsy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the epidemiological and pathophysiological links between epilepsy and headache, and apply this knowledge to the clinical management of the two disorders, and discuss the current best practice for the management of headaches co-occurring with epilepsy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between Gastrointestinal Diseases and Migraine

TL;DR: There was a statistically significant association between the prevalence of GI diseases and migraine, and theHigher the number of accompanying GI diseases, the higher the correlation was in patients using both preventive and acute treatment drugs for migraine.

The Global Burden of Headache: A Documentation of Headache Prevalence and Disability Worldwide:

TL;DR: The calculations indicate that the disability attributable to tension-type headache is larger worldwide than that due to migraine, which would bring headache disorders into the 10 most disabling conditions for the two genders, and into the five most disabling for women.

The epidemiology of epilepsy in Europe - a systematic review.

TL;DR: The proportion of both new and established cases with epilepsy in the young, adults and elderly in individual countries may differ substantially from total European distribution because of differences in age structure.

The prevalence, impact, and treatment of migraine and severe headaches in the United States: a review of statistics from national surveillance studies

TL;DR: The American Migraine Prevalence and Prevention study is a privately funded study that provides comparative US population‐based estimates of the prevalence and burden of migraine and chronic migraine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comorbidity of migraine and epilepsy

TL;DR: The results indicate that migraine and epilepsy are strongly associated, independent of seizure type, etiology, age at onset, or family history of epilepsy.

Antiepileptic drugs: indications other than epilepsy

TL;DR: The availability of a new generation of AEDs has broadened the therapeutic options in bipolar disorder and Lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine, gabapentin and topiramate appear to be promising in the treatment of refractory bipolar disorder, as a monotherapy as well as in combination with traditional mood stabilizers.
