Abstract Details

2010, MS, University of Cincinnati, Medicine: Genetic Counseling.
The objectives of our study were to determine if the prevalence, frequency and disability of migraine headache differ between female patients with Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS) and a control population. Twenty-eight patients with JHS and 232 patient controls participated in the case-cohort study. All participants reporting a history of headache within the last year underwent a structured verbal headache diagnostic interview to ascertain the clinical characteristics of each headache type and a headache diagnosis was assigned according to strict criteria of the International Classification of Headache Disorders-II-2004 (ICHD-2). Our study indicates that the prevalence of migraine headache approaches 75% in female patients with JHS and the adjusted odds ratio was 3.19 [95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.25, 8.15] for the prevalence of migraine headache in females with JHS as compared to the control group. Our study suggests that migraine headache is another symptom of JHS.
