Key clinical point: Patients with chronic migraine vs healthy controls had highly impaired cognition and worsened quality of life (QoL), which improved after 3 months of treatment with botulinum toxin or oral drugs.

 

Major finding: Patients with chronic migraine had worse scores than healthy controls for cognition, QoL, and emotional status at baseline (P < .0001), but showed significant improvements in Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure test memory task (P < .0001), Trail Making Test A attention test (P  =  .007), and 36-item Short Form Health Survey based QoL measures for bodily pain (P  =  .040) and general health (P  =  .003) after 3 months of preventive treatment.

 

Study details: This observational study analyzed 46 patients with chronic migraine and 50 age- and sex-matched healthy controls for mood, cognition, and QoL before and 3 months after receiving preventive treatment with botulinum toxin or oral drugs.

 

Disclosures: This study did not declare any specific funding source. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
