You thought there is absolutely nothing positive about having migraine headache? Well, science says something different\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Researcher from the Erasmus University, Rotterdam released a study analyzing the link between cognition and migraine. The study included 6708 participants (non-migraineurs: 5399, migraineurs: 1021, probable migraineurs: 288). Migraine was assessed by a validated questionaere. Cognition was assessed by a dedicated test battery including the MMSE (Mini Mental State Examination).<\/p>\n

Migraine is associated with better cognition<\/h2>\n

Migraineurs performed better in the MMSE, executive function, fine motor skills and global cognition. Suprisingly people suffering from migraine with aura had the best test results.<\/p>\n

The study showed a link between migraine and cognition but didn\u2019t explain the cause. Therefore future research is needed to understand why people with migraine show improved cognition.<\/p>\n
