Migraine headaches commonly occur in people with ME/CFS. In a 2011 study by Ravindran, et al, migraine headaches were found in 84%, and tension-type headaches in 81% of a cohort of CFS patients.[1] This compared to 5% and 45%, respectively, in a cohort of healthy controls.[1]

During the headache either nausea with or without vomiting, or photophobia and phonophobia must occur.[2]
