Key clinical point: In patients with migraine, greater severity of photophobia is significantly associated with worse sleep-related outcomes, such as sleep quality (SQ), sleep disturbance (SDi), sleep onset latency (SOL), sleep-related impairment (SRI), and insomnia.
Major finding: Compared with patients with migraine and without photophobia, those with migraine and photophobia presented significantly poorer SQ (β 0.15; P < .001), longer SOL (β 0.10; P = .011), higher levels of SDi (β 0.12; P < .001) and SRI (β 0.08; P = .020), and a higher prevalence of insomnia (β 0.11; P = .005).
Study details : This cross-sectional observational study evaluated the association between photophobia and sleep-related outcomes in 852 patients with migraine using data from the American Registry for Migraine Research.
Disclosures: This study did not receive any specific funding. Some authors declared receiving compensation for consulting from, serving as consultants for, or having other ties with various sources.
