Description
Summary:	Migraine adds to the burden of patients suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS). The ID-migraine is a useful tool for screening migraine, and the Migraine Disability Assessment questionnaire can evaluate disease burden. The aim of the present study was to assess the presence and burden of migraine in patients with MS. METHODS Patients diagnosed with MS attending specialized MS units were invited to answer an online survey if they also experienced headache. RESULTS The study included 746 complete responses from patients with MS and headache. There were 625 women and 121 men, and 69% of all the patients were aged between 20 and 40 years. Migraine was identified in 404 patients (54.1%) and a moderate-to-high burden of disease was observed in 68.3% of the patients. CONCLUSION Migraine is a frequent and disabling type of primary headache reported by patients with MS.
