Migraine linked to more than doubled risk for irritable bowel syndrome

Key clinical point: People with a history of migraine are more than twice as likely as those with no such history to have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Major finding: IBS odds were significantly higher in patients with migraine vs. those without: overall (pooled odds ratio [OR], 2.49; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.22-2.78); migraine with aura (pooled OR, 3.03; 95% CI, 1.72-5.35); and migraine without aura (pooled OR, 2.20; 95% CI, 1.49-3.25).

Study details: Meta-analysis of 11 studies including 28,336 migraineurs and 1,535,758 nonmigraineurs.

Disclosures: The study did not receive any funding. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
