Objective: Whether migraine modifies after spontaneous cervical artery dissection (sCeAD) more than after other stroke etiologic subtypes has never been adequately investigated. Methods: In the setting of the Italian Project on Stroke in Young Adults (IPSYS), we compared the course of migraine before and after acute brain infarct in a group of migraine patients with sCeAD and a group of migraine patients whose ischemia was due to a cause other than CeAD (non-CeAD IS), matched by sex, age (± 3 years), and migraine subtype.We applied linear mixed models to evaluate pre-event vs post-event changes and differences between sCeAD and non-CeAD IS patients.

After the acute event, migraine headaches disappeared in 14.0% of CeAD patients vs 0.0% of non-CeAD IS patients (p ≤ 0.001).

Abstract

Objective: Whether migraine modifies after spontaneous cervical artery dissection (sCeAD) more than after other stroke etiologic subtypes has never been adequately investigated. Methods: In the setting of the Italian Project on Stroke in Young Adults (IPSYS), we compared the course of migraine before and after acute brain infarct in a group of migraine patients with sCeAD and a group of migraine patients whose ischemia was due to a cause other than CeAD (non-CeAD IS), matched by sex, age (± 3 years), and migraine subtype.We applied linear mixed models to evaluate pre-event vs post-event changes and differences between sCeAD and non-CeAD IS patients. Results: Eighty-seven patients per group (migraine without aura/migraine with aura, 67/20) qualified for the analysis. After the acute event, migraine headaches disappeared in 14.0% of CeAD patients vs 0.0% of non-CeAD IS patients (p ≤ 0.001). Migraine frequency (patients suffering at least 1 attack, from 93.1 to 80.5%, p = 0.001), pain intensity (from 6.7 ± 1.7 to 4.6 ± 2.6 in a 0 to 10 pain scale, p ≤ 0.001), and use of acute anti-migraine medications (patients taking at least 1 preparation, from 81.6 to 64.4%, p = 0.007) also improved significantly after CeAD as opposed to that observed after non-CeAD IS. Conclusion: The spontaneous improvement of migraine after sCeAD reinforces the hypothesis of a pathogenic link between the two conditions
