Asthma Control Tied to Migraine Severity: New Insights

Research Summary

Researchers found a significant association between asthma control and migraine symptoms in patients experiencing both conditions. In a retrospective study of 35 patients, the intensity of migraine attacks was linked to the control status of asthma. Specifically, when asthma symptoms worsened, measured by changes in fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), peak expiratory flow (PEF), and Asthma Control Test (ACT) scores, migraine symptoms also intensified. The study revealed a positive correlation between the degree of asthma exacerbation and migraine severity. Notably, 14 out of 35 patients experienced migraine relief following the administration of a short-acting β2 agonist for asthma, highlighting the interconnected nature of these conditions.
