Objective To assess the prevalence of falls and fear of falling in patients with migraine compared with controls. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Tertiary headache clinic. Participants This study consisted of 105 controls and 105 consecutive patients diagnosed with migraine with aura (MA, n = 35), migraine without aura (MO, n = 35) and chronic migraine (CM, n = 35). Main outcome measures Patients were interviewed using a questionnaire containing questions about the history of falls and impairment in balance, and completed the International Falls Efficacy Scale (FES-I). Groups were contrasted using Students t-test and analysis of variance, and prevalence ratios were estimated. Results Falls and self-reported impairment in balance are more prevalent in patients with migraine (54% and 69%, respectively) than in controls (2% and 2%, respectively). In particular, patients with CM and MA reported a greater mean number of falls during the previous year {CM 1.4 [standard deviation (SD) 2.2]; MA 2.2 (SD 2.3)} compared with patients with MO [0.5 (SD 1.0); P Conclusions The balance impairment of patients with migraine may have a functional impact. Migraine is associated with risk of falling, and patients exhibit a higher prevalence of impairment in balance, falls and fear of falling. |
