Key clinical point: Patients with epilepsy showed no significant increase in the overall prevalence of migraine or non-migraine headaches, but those with epilepsy and migraine had an increased frequency of headaches.

Major findings: Compared with individuals without epilepsy, patients with epilepsy had no significant increase in the overall prevalence of migraine (odds ratio [OR], 0.95; P = .78) or non-migraine headaches (OR, 1.18; P = .17). However, among patients with migraine, those with epilepsy were more likely to experience highly frequent headaches than those without epilepsy (OR, 1.73; P = .024).

Study details: This population-based case-control study included 63,622 participants (age, ≥ 20 years); 364 had epilepsy, including 210 without headaches, 46 with migraine, and 108 with non-migraine headaches.

Disclosure: The study was funded by the Norwegian Research Council. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
