Key clinical point: People with migraine may experience a wide range of comorbidities and co-occurring conditions, which should be managed effectively.

Major finding: Patients with vs. without migraine were 3 times more likely to experience insomnia (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 3.79; 95% confidence interval, [95% CI], 3.6-4.0), depression (aOR, 3.18; 95% CI, 3.0-3.3), anxiety (aOR, 3.18; 95% CI, 3.0-3.3), and gastric ulcer/gastrointestinal bleeding (aOR, 3.11; 95% CI, 2.8-3.5).

Study details: Data come from the prospective, web-based Migraine in America Symptoms and Treatment survey involving adults with (n=15,133) and without migraine (n=77,453).

Disclosures: The study was funded and sponsored by Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories group of companies, Princeton, USA. The lead author along with others declared receiving grant support and/or honoraria from various sources.
