Researchers from the University of Cincinnati have concluded that those who suffer from Asthma are more prone to chronic headaches.
Vincent Martin, a professor of medicine in Cincinnati’s Division of General Internal Medicine, co-director of the Headache and Facial Pain Program at the UC Neuroscience Institute and lead author in the study said “If you have asthma along with episodic or occasional migraine, then your headaches are more likely to evolve into a more disabling form known as chronic migraine.
“The strength of the relationship is robust; asthma was a stronger predictor of chronic migraine than depression, which other studies have found to be one of the most potent conditions associated with the future development of chronic migraine.”
The team recommended that perhaps prescribing preventative medications for migraines early on may prevent this.
