Migraine is a prevalent neurological disorder characterized by recurring episodes of debilitating headache accompanied by associated symptoms and sleep disorders. This study aims to investigate migraine-associated symptoms in female migraineurs within the Syrian population and the relation between migraines and sleep issues.
A questionnaire-based cross-sectional observational study was conducted among the Syrian population. A total of 1009 women were enrolled in this study, including women without a history of migraine (Control group) and migraineurs (Case group) who had received a diagnosis of migraine from a hospital or private clinic. Data about migraine-related symptoms, including tingling, visual disturbances, Nausea/Vomiting, and epileptic seizures as well as sleep-related symptoms such as interrupted sleep, frequent awakenings, insomnia, snoring, and narcolepsy were gathered. Chi-square test was used to examine the relation between migraines and sleep issues.
A total of 1009 women were enrolled in this study including 531 migraineurs and 478 healthy women. The study revealed that the most commonly experienced symptoms during migraine attacks were nausea/vomiting and visual disturbances, followed by tingling. Total Unduplicated Reach and Frequency analysis showed that visual disturbances and nausea/vomiting were the two most frequent symptoms that co-occurred during migraine attacks. The study also demonstrated a significant relationship between snoring, insomnia, and narcolepsy with migraine ( = 0.038), with these sleep disorders being more prevalent among migraineurs.
The findings indicate a significant association between migraines and sleep disorders, with migraineurs being at a significantly higher risk of experiencing poor sleep quality compared to healthy women. Addressing sleep disorders is crucial in managing patients with migraines. This study is the first of its kind in the Syrian population, providing valuable insights into the symptoms and sleep disorders associated with migraines in this population.
偏头痛是一种常见的神经系统疾病，其特征为反复发作的使人衰弱的头痛，并伴有相关症状和睡眠障碍。本研究旨在调查叙利亚人群中女性偏头痛患者的偏头痛相关症状以及偏头痛与睡眠问题之间的关系。
在叙利亚人群中开展了一项基于问卷的横断面观察性研究。本研究共纳入1009名女性，包括无偏头痛病史的女性（对照组）和已从医院或私人诊所确诊为偏头痛的患者（病例组）。收集了与偏头痛相关的症状数据，包括刺痛、视觉障碍、恶心/呕吐和癫痫发作，以及与睡眠相关的症状，如睡眠中断、频繁觉醒、失眠、打鼾和发作性睡病。采用卡方检验来研究偏头痛与睡眠问题之间的关系。
本研究共纳入1009名女性，其中531名偏头痛患者和478名健康女性。研究显示，偏头痛发作期间最常出现的症状是恶心/呕吐和视觉障碍，其次是刺痛。总独立覆盖范围和频率分析表明，视觉障碍和恶心/呕吐是偏头痛发作期间最常同时出现的两种症状。研究还表明，打鼾、失眠和发作性睡病与偏头痛之间存在显著关系（P = 0.038），这些睡眠障碍在偏头痛患者中更为普遍。
研究结果表明偏头痛与睡眠障碍之间存在显著关联，与健康女性相比，偏头痛患者出现睡眠质量差的风险显著更高。解决睡眠障碍对于偏头痛患者的管理至关重要。本研究是叙利亚人群中首例此类研究，为该人群中与偏头痛相关的症状和睡眠障碍提供了有价值的见解。
