Association between obstructive sleep apnea and migraine: A United States population‐based cohort study
We found OSA to be associated with an elevated risk of developing migraine using a large United States nationwide database, and the association was generalizable across sex, age, race, and BMI categories. Our results suggest that awareness of migraine should be increased among patients with OSA. The findings also encourage further research to clarify the role of obesity and overweight in the relationship between OSA and migraine, as well as the potential benefits of body weight control for those with these two comorbid conditions.
