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]

Symptoms[edit | edit source]

Migraine without aura is defined by the following diagnostic criteria outlined in The International Classification Of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition:

Migraine without aura diagnostic criteria[edit | edit source]

  1. At least five headache attacks that
  2. Last 4–72 hours without successful treatment
  3. Headaches have at least two of the following four characteristics:
    1. unilateral location;
    2. pulsating quality;
    3. moderate to severe pain intensity; and
    4. aggravation by or causing avoidance of routine physical activity.
  4. During the headaches at least one of the following:
    1. nausea and/or vomiting
    2. photophobia and phonophobia (avoidance of loud noises)
  5. Not better accounted for by another ICHD-3 diagnosis.
Migraines without aura may also be called common migraine' or hemicrania simplex.[2]

Migraines in ME/CFS[edit | edit source]

Migraines is one of several illnesses or conditions experienced alongside of ME/CFS.[3]

The Canadian Consensus Criteria recognizes migraines in the possible neurological symptoms of ME/CFS.

Possible causes[edit | edit source]

Potential treatments[edit | edit source]

Migraine treatment consists of:

  • Abortive treatments, that aim to stop a migraine attack or reduce the symptoms
  • Prevention, which aims to reduce how often migraines occur and their intensity
