Key clinical point: Women with an increased adherence to a pro-inflammatory diet, as measured using a dietary inflammation score (DIS), had an increased risk for chronic migraine (CM).
Major findings: Women with CM had a significantly higher DIS than those with episodic migraine (EM) (0.08 vs 0.62; P = .002). The risk for CM was two times higher in women with a high DIS than in those with a low DIS (adjusted odd ratio 2.02; Ptrend = .03).
Study details: This cross-sectional study included 285 women with migraine, of whom 169 (59.3%) had EM and 116 (40.7%) had CM.
Disclosures: This study was supported by the Student Research Committee of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
