Insomnia is
associated with increased headache frequency and severity among migraine
patients, however, the severity of insomnia is not influenced by the presence of
migraine.
According to a
recent study published in the Journal of Headache and Pain, Insomnia shows a
significant association with migraine and non-migraine headaches. Insomnia is a
problem in falling or staying asleep which affects approximately 10 to 30 % of
the population. Insomnia and migraine displays a strong association as many of
the studies demonstrated notable comorbidity for these two disorders in
population-based and clinical studies. This study involved the investigation of
the influence of migraine on the clinical presentation of insomnia signs using
information from the Korean Headache-Sleep Study (KHSS).
The subjects who
showed ≥ 10 Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score was known to suffer from
insomnia. Total and subcomponent scores of the ISI were used to evaluate the
clinical presentation of insomnia indications.
Out of 2695
patients, 290 and 143 individuals suffered from insomnia and migraine
respectively. The subjects with insomnia shows higher incidences of
non-migraine and migraine headaches than subjects without insomnia. Also, the
total ISI scores of the individuals with insomnia did not vary among
participants with non-headache, non-migraine, and migraine. Greater ISI scores
for noticeability of sleep problems to others were reported among patients with
non-migraine and migraine headache than those without headache. Other ISI
subcomponent scores showed no variations between headache status groups.
Moreover, no significant association was seen between insomnia severity and
headache status among the insomnia subjects. All these findings highlight a
substantial impact of migraine on insomnia.
