Research Summary
A recent review in Current Pain and Headache Reports sheds light on the often-overlooked interictal state of migraine—the period between migraine attacks. This state is linked to significant cognitive, functional, psychological, interpersonal, and socioeconomic challenges that many patients face. Using tools like the Migraine Interictal Burden Scale (MIBS-4), researchers found that a majority of patients endure severe burdens during this phase. Despite its substantial impact, the interictal state has received limited attention in research and clinical practice. The study calls for a comprehensive approach addressing both migraine attacks and interictal periods to enhance patient care and awareness.
