Prevalence of Migraine in Patients with Psoriasis: A Prospective Study

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the prevalence of migraine in patients with psoriasis.Material and Methods: A total of 163 patients who presented at our clinic between November 2017 and May 2018 and were diagnosed with psoriasis through histopathological examination were included in our study. Patients with Psoriasis Area Severity Index PASI scores ≤10 were considered to have mild psoriasis, and those whose PASI scores were >10 were considered to have moderate/severe psoriasis. Patients with Dermatology Life Quality Index DLQI scores ≤10 were considered mild, while those with DLQI scores >10 considered moderate/severe. Patients diagnosed with migraine by the neurology clinic pursuant to the diagnostic criteria of the International Headache Society were recorded.Results: The prevalence of migraine was found to be 8.5% in patients with psoriasis. No significant difference was found between patients with and without migraine in terms of disease severity and joint involvement p values= 0.43, 0.84, respectively . Patients with migraine were classified into two groups as mild and severe according to PASI and DLQI scores and no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups p values: =0.164, 0.34, respectively .Conclusion: In conclusion, although the prevalence of migraine was not found to be high in psoriasis patients in our study, we suggest that psoriasis may be accompanied by migraine and a neurological examination should be carried out for all psoriasis patients suffering from headache for early diagnosis and screening
