Migraine's Complex Links with Mental Health Explored

Research Summary

A recent study published in Medicine (Baltimore) investigated the causal links between migraine and six neuropsychiatric disorders using Mendelian randomization. The research highlighted a significant causal association between migraine without aura and bipolar disorder with an odds ratio of 1.075. Additionally, a complex relationship with major depressive disorder was noted for overall migraine. However, after applying Benjamini-Hochberg multiple test corrections, no causal connections between migraine (with or without aura) and the six disorders were found. The authors emphasize the necessity for further biological and clinical studies to confirm these results and better understand migraine's impact on neuropsychiatric conditions.
