Key clinical point: Middle-aged and older women showed no significant association between migraine, and the risk for Parkinson disease (PD), irrespective of migraine subtypes and frequency.
Major findings: Compared to women with without migraine, those with migraine did not show a risk of PD (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.07; 95% CI 0.88-1.29) irrespective of the presence of aura. No risk was seen even if patients had monthly migraine frequency (aHR 1.09; 95% CI 0.64-1.87), or a weekly or greater migraine frequency (aHR 1.10; 95% CI 0.44-2.75).
Study details: This study involved 39,312 women (age > 45 years) of whom 7321 had migraines, including 2153 with a history of migraine and 5168 with migraine with or without aura. None had a history of PD.
Disclosure: This study was supported by grants from the US National Cancer Institute and the US National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Two authors declared receiving research grants or personal compensation from various sources.
