Asthma Control Tied to Migraine Severity: New Study Insights

Research Summary

Researchers found a significant relationship between asthma control and migraine symptoms in patients experiencing both conditions. In the study published in JMA Journal, scientists analyzed 35 patients with asthma and migraines to assess how the state of asthma affects migraine intensity. They observed that when migraine symptoms worsened, asthma-related indexes such as the Asthma Control Test (ACT), peak expiratory flow (PEF), and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) also deteriorated. A strong correlation emerged between poorly controlled asthma and intensified migraines. Additionally, 14 out of 35 patients experienced headache relief after using a short-acting β2 agonist for asthma, highlighting interconnected symptom management.
