Increased risk of essential tremor in migraine: A population-based retrospective cohort study
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE To examine the long-term risk of essential tremor (ET) in migraine. METHODS Using population-based administrative data from a subset of the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) of Taiwan, we identified 22,696 newly diagnosed migraineurs (mean age 44.5 years) and a matched migraine-free cohort of 90,784 individuals in the period 2000-2008. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was conducted for assessing the ET risk for the migraine cohort compared to the migraine-free cohort. RESULTS After adjusting for covariates, the migraine cohort had a 1.83-fold increased risk (95% CI 1.50-2.23) of subsequent ET in comparison to the migraine-free cohort (8.97 vs. 4.81 per 10,000 person-years). In the subgroup analysis, patients with migraine were associated with higher risks of ET, regardless of gender, age or the existence of comorbidities. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrated an association between migraine and ET, suggesting a possible shared pathophysiology underpinning both disorders.

متن کاملIncreased Risk of Restless Legs Syndrome in Patients With Migraine
Previous studies suggest that an association between restless legs syndrome (RLS) and migraine exists. However, population-based data are unavailable in Asian cohorts. Our study thus aims to evaluate the association between migraine and RLS in a nationwide, population-based cohort in Taiwan and to examine the effects of age, sex, migraine subtype, and comorbidities on RLS development.Data from ...
متن کاملIncreasing severity of traumatic brain injury is associated with an increased risk of subsequent headache or migraine: a retrospective cohort study of U.S. active duty service members, 2006-2015.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common injury in the U.S. Compared to the general population, military service members can be at increased risk for TBI because of the nature of their work. Sequelae of TBI, such as headache or migraine, can lead to military duty limitations or separation from service. To determine whether the severity of TBI is associated with the risk of these sequelae, this ...

BACKGROUND Despite widespread use of methamphetamine and other amphetamine-type stimulants (METH/AMPH), little is known about the long-term medical consequences of METH/AMPH abuse and dependence. Preclinical neurotoxicity findings raise public health concerns that these stimulants may damage dopamine neurons, resulting in dopamine-related disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS A ...

Background: Few studies have investigated the longitudinal association between cervical spondylosis (CS) and migraine by using a nationwide population-based database. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study from 2000 to 2011 identifying 27,930 cases of cervical spondylosis and 111,720 control subjects (those without cervical spondylosis) from a single database. The subjects were freq...
