Strange Sleep Apnea and
Migraine Link
A
new study about sleep apnea and migraine link presented at the Congress of the European Academy of Neurology 2017 in Amsterdam
demonstrates that people who suffer from migraine are more likely than the
general population to suffer sleep apnea.
But
why is there the existence of a sleep apnea and migraine link? And what can you
do to cure both conditions in one blow? (or each individually if you are “lucky
enough” to suffer only one.)
Researchers
recruited 12,810 participants online who had participated in the previously
conducted Chronic Migraine Epidemiology and Outcomes
(CaMEO) study.
They
asked them about their migraines, their sleep
habits and physician diagnosed conditions from which they suffered.
Those
who suffered from migraine more than 15 days a month were labeled as chronic
migraine sufferers, compared with those who suffered fewer days who were
labeled episodic sufferers.
35.6%
of people with episodic migraine and 51.8% of those with chronic migraine
suffered sleep apnea.
Scientists
have estimated that around 9% of the general population suffer from sleep
apnea, which means that the migraine sufferers are on average approximately
four times worse off.
The
researchers speculated that the sleep apnea and migraine link was
bidirectional, meaning that sleep apnea causes and is caused by migraines (like
a dog chasing its tail).
