Study shows people with migraines have lower risk for sleep apnea

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Study participants with a history of migraine experienced less sleep apnea and hypoxia than those without migraine, according to a poster presented at the SLEEP meeting.
“Disruption in sleep may serve as a risk for migraine or result from migraine,” Eric C. Gruenthal, MD, a neurologist at the Cleveland Clinic, and colleagues wrote in their poster. “We leveraged a large clinical cohort to examine the hypothesis that those with migraine have greater degrees of sleep architectural alterations and sleep disordered breathing.”
