dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Migraine and epilepsy are two episodic disorders that share common pathophysiological mechanisms. The aim of our research was to assess the possible shared etiopathogenesis by analyzing the relations of headache, and seizure triggers, based on information obtained from a national cohort surveying the headache characteristics of 809 patients who had been diagnosed with idiopathic/genetic epilepsy. Material and methods: Our study utilized data from a multi-center, nationwide investigation of headaches in 809 patients with idiopathic/genetic epilepsy. Out of these, 508 patients reported complaints related to any type of headache (333 Migraines, 175 Headaches of other types). In the initial phase of the study encompassing the entire sample of 809 epilepsy patients, differences in seizure triggers were assessed between the migraine group (n = 333) and the non-migraine group (n = 476). Additionally, the subsequent part of the study pertains to a subgroup of the entire patient group, namely those affected by all types of headaches (n = 508), and differences in headache triggers were assessed among migraine patients (n = 333) and those with other types of headaches (n = 175). Similar differences were observed between epilepsy patients with and without a family history of epilepsy. Results: The most frequently reported seizure triggers in all I/GE group (n = 809) were stress (23%), sleep deprivation (22%) and fatigue (18%), respectively. The most frequently reported headache triggers in migraine patients were stress (31%), sleep deprivation (28%), and noise (26%). The occurrence of menstruation-triggered seizures in individuals with migraine and I/GE was found to be considerably higher than those without migraine. The most common triggers for seizure and headache among the individuals with a positive family history of epilepsy were determined to be light stimuli and sleep deprivation. Conclusion: In conclusion, our study provides valuable insights into the overlapping triggers including sleep patterns, stress levels, and menstrual cycles, etc. and potential shared etiology of migraine and I/GE. Recognizing these connections may facilitate the development of more precise therapeutic strategies and underscore the significance of adopting a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to the management of these intricate neurological conditions. Further research is essential to explore in greater depth the shared mechanisms underpinning these associations and their implications for clinical practice. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.en_US
