Current literature suggests patients with bipolar disorder are at increased risk of developing migraine compared with the general population and patients with other affective disorders. This study examined whether this finding was evident in the outpatient department of a regional psychiatric hospital. Using a patient database (n=1083), records were screened for bipolar disorder (n=169) or self-report of migraine (n=46). 8 cases of co-morbid migraine and bipolar disorder were revealed (4.7% prevalence). This and the general prevalence of migraine (4.2%) are substantially lower than previously reported. Reasons for and implications of this finding are discussed.
目前的文献表明，与普通人群和其他情感障碍患者相比，双相情感障碍患者发生偏头痛的风险增加。本研究旨在探讨这一发现是否在一家地区精神病院的门诊中得到证实。研究人员使用患者数据库（n=1083），筛选出双相情感障碍（n=169）或偏头痛自我报告（n=46）的患者。结果发现 8 例偏头痛和双相情感障碍共病（患病率为 4.7%）。这一患病率以及偏头痛的总体患病率（4.2%）显著低于先前的报告。本文讨论了这一发现的原因及其意义。
