The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between migraine headache and concussion in athletes. Case-control observational study. A university-associated combined sports neurology and orthopedic sports medicine clinic. A total of 221 male (n=140) and female (n=81) athletes aged 12-24 years, including 115 concussion cases (52%) and 106 orthopedic controls (48%), were included in this study. Participants completed a one-page questionnaire that recorded their age, sex, reason for visit (concussion vs. any other injury), concussion history, and self/immediate family member migraine headache history. The odds of having a prior history of migraine headache were compared in the concussion group vs. orthopedic controls. Controlling for between-group differences in age and sex, there was a significant positive association between concussion group status and history of migraine headache (Adjusted OR = 1.90; 95% CI: 1.03 – 3.50. p = 0.039). However, when including prior concussion history in the statistical model, this relationship failed to reach significance (Adjusted OR = 1.68; 95% CI: 0.89 – 3.16. p = 0.107). These results suggest that there is an association between migraine headache and concussion in athletes, but the cause-effect nature of this relationship cannot be determined. Migraine headache should be considered a modifying factor when caring for concussed athletes.
