Rhinitis occurs in 40-65% of patients with migraine headache, but its relationship with the frequency and disability of migraines are unknown.
The frequency and disability of migraines is increased in patients with allergic, mixed and non allergic rhinitis. The greater effect however was seen in those with a non allergic phenotype (mixed and non allergic rhinitis).
To investigate the mechanisms through which allergic, mixed and non allergic rhinitis affect the frequency and disability of migraine headache.
