The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between migraine headache and concussion in athletes.
Case-control observational study.
A university-associated combined sports neurology and orthopedic sports medicine clinic.
A total of 221 male (n = 140) and female (n = 81) athletes aged 12 to 24 years, including 115 concussion cases (52%) and 106 orthopedic controls (48%), were included in this study.
Participants completed a one-page questionnaire that recorded their age, sex, reason for visit (concussion vs any other injury), concussion history, and self/immediate family member migraine headache history.
The odds of having a previous history of migraine headache were compared in the concussion group versus orthopedic controls.
Controlling for between-group differences in age and sex, there was a significant positive association between concussion group status and history of migraine headache [adjusted odds ratio (OR), 1.90; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.03-3.50. P = 0.039]. However, when including a previous concussion history in the statistical model, this relationship failed to reach significance [adjusted OR, 1.68; 95% CI, 0.89-3.16. P = 0.107].
These results suggest that there is an association between migraine headache and concussion in athletes, but the cause-effect nature of this relationship cannot be determined. Migraine headache should be considered a modifying factor when caring for concussed athletes.
本研究旨在调查运动员偏头痛与脑震荡之间的关联。
病例对照观察性研究。
一所大学附属的综合运动神经学与矫形运动医学诊所。
本研究共纳入221名年龄在12至24岁之间的男性(n = 140)和女性(n = 81)运动员,其中包括115例脑震荡病例(52%)和106例矫形对照组(48%)。
参与者完成一份单页问卷,记录他们的年龄、性别、就诊原因(脑震荡与其他任何损伤)、脑震荡病史以及自我/直系家庭成员偏头痛病史。
比较脑震荡组与矫形对照组中偏头痛既往史的几率。
在控制年龄和性别组间差异后,脑震荡组状态与偏头痛病史之间存在显著正相关[调整优势比(OR)为1.90;95%置信区间(CI)为1.03 - 3.50,P = 0.039]。然而,当在统计模型中纳入既往脑震荡病史时,这种关系未达到显著水平[调整OR为1.68;95%CI为0.89 - 3.16,P = 0.107]。
这些结果表明运动员偏头痛与脑震荡之间存在关联,但这种关系的因果性质无法确定。在照顾脑震荡运动员时,偏头痛应被视为一个修正因素。
