Migraine sufferers seem to be much more likely to develop Parkinsons….
Middle-aged migraine sufferers are more than twice as likely to develop Parkinson’s disease or other movement disorders, new research has found.
People with migraine with aura – where there are warning signs before the migraine begins, such as seeing flashing lights – were most at risk.
The link is thought to be associated with a dysfunction in the brain messenger dopamine but researchers stress the overall risk is still low.
