Clinical characteristics of headache related to epilepsy: experience from a tertiary epilepsy center
The most common type of epilepsy with headache was focal epilepsy, with patients experiencing poorer quality of life than those with epilepsy of unknown origin. Clinical characteristics of headache related epilepsy did not vary significantly by epilepsy type, but patients of generalized epilepsy with headache had the least time lost. Post-IH was the most common type of headache in epilepsy patients. With migraine and HALT-90 were associated with DRE, but the predictive accuracy for DRE was insufficient.
