Key clinical point: The odds of having migraine with or without aura is higher among patients with migraine with vs without inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); however, patients with migraine and IBD are less likely to have chronic migraine or receive treatment for migraine.
Major finding: Patients with migraine with vs without IBD were more likely to have migraine with (odds ratio [OR] 2.20; P < .001) and without (OR 2.79; P < .001) aura, but were less likely to have chronic migraine (OR 0.23; P < .001) or receive treatment for migraine (OR 0.23-0.55; P ≤ .037).
Study details: Findings are from a retrospective cohort study including 675 patients with migraine, of which 280 patients had IBD.
Disclosures: This study did not receive any funding. The authors declared no potential conflicts of interest.
