Abstract

Migraines and cerebrovascular diseases are comorbid disorders that are widespread in the population. The close relationship between these states is demonstrated by epidemiological, clinical studies, as well as by pilot studies of their pathophysiology. Patients with migraines have a clear increase in the risk of ischemic stroke, especially when there are risk factors such as female sex, presence of aura symptoms, smoking, hormonal contraceptive use and high incidence of migraines. Despite the abundance of migraine studies, no strategies have been developed to modify her treatment for patients with attendant pathology so far. In the meantime, some studies have convincingly demonstrated the advantages of some therapeutic approaches, which could be used to optimize management of these patients with these frequently co-existing disorders.
