Migraine and allergy are both common diseases. Many patients suffer from both, and the vast majority of patients with "sinus headache" complaints are found to have migraine, making migraine identification important to allergists. This review addresses the possibility that allergy and migraine are comorbid conditions, focusing on epidemiology, shared biochemical pathways, and underlying mechanisms. Therapeutic implications of this possible relationship have been the subject of several recent studies, making a review of this association timely and prudent.
偏头痛和过敏都是常见疾病。许多患者同时患有这两种疾病,而且绝大多数有“鼻窦头痛”症状的患者被发现患有偏头痛,这使得过敏学家识别偏头痛变得很重要。本综述探讨了过敏和偏头痛可能是共病的情况,重点关注流行病学、共同的生化途径和潜在机制。这种可能的关系的治疗意义是最近几项研究的主题,因此对这种关联进行综述是及时和谨慎的。
