Medscape (12/15, Burton, Subscription Publication) reports, “Cluster headache (CH) is associated with a significantly increased risk for comorbid conditions, including mental disorders and other neurologic disease, leading to significant disability and absenteeism,” investigators concluded in a study that “drew on two Swedish population-based registries and included 3240 patients with CH aged 16-64 years and 16,200 matched control persons.” The study also revealed that “patients with CH had a sixfold increased risk for central nervous system (CNS) disorders and a twofold increased risk for musculoskeletal disorders.” The findings were published online in the journal Neurology.
