Insomnia's Impact: Worsening Migraine Disability and Life Quality

Research Summary

A recent study published in Pain Medicine explored the link between insomnia severity and its impact on migraine-related disability and quality of life. Analyzing data from a pilot study involving 42 participants with both insomnia and migraines, researchers found that a higher Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score was significantly associated with increased migraine disability and diminished quality of life. Specifically, each point increase in ISI correlated with a 10% rise in migraine disability and notable declines in various quality of life measures. These findings underscore the critical role of addressing insomnia in managing migraines, emphasizing the need for effective sleep interventions.
