| Migraine exacerbation during Ramadan fasting -- The Journal of Headache and Pain
Abu–Salameh I et al. – During the Ramadan month, the patient expressed 9.4 ± 4.3 migraine days in average (range 3–20) when compared with 3.7 ± 2.1 migraine days in average (range 1–10) during the control month. This phenomenon was associated with longer duration of migraine, lower frequency of migraine attacks, and migraine with aura. It seemed to be less pronounced in patients experiencing throbbing headaches and in married patients. Previous prophylactic therapy did not dampen this. Physicians treating Muslim migraine patients should discuss potential Ramadan month exacerbation with their patients and provide counseling regarding the prevention of dehydration and caffeine withdrawal. Pharmacological prophylactic treatment should be considered. |
