HEADACHE AND MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

Migraine is a disease not seen in the general population and in particular when the migraine is comorbid with other neurological diseases. This condition ensures that patients give little importance to this disease without acknowledging that this is likely to induce alterations in the quality of life often worse in the same multiple sclerosis (MS). The relationship between migraine and MS is still unclear. It is important that the physician has to consider a number of elements which differentiate the two clinical pictures in the context of a global vision that involves primarily the clinical evaluation and medical history, and subsequently the aid of instrumental and laboratory investigations. The recent development of new treatment options for MS requires professionals to be aware of the treatments for migraine and possible side effects that could limit or contraindicate the use of specific drugs. Patients with this comorbidity are "crushed" by the weight of two chronic diseases.
