What is Antiseizure Medications in Patients with Migraine Headaches about?

Abstract Two disorders are comorbid if they occur in the same person more frequently than by chance alone. Migraine and epilepsy appear to be comorbid. Migraine and epilepsy share several clinical features and may share some common pathophysiological mechanisms. Both are considered disorders of neuronal hyperexcitability, in that initial excessive neuronal activity in migraine leads to cortical spreading depression and aura, with the subsequent recruitment of the trigeminal nucleus leading to central sensitization and pain. In epilepsy, neuronal overactivity leads to the recruitment of larger populations of neurons firing in a rhythmic manner that constitutes an epileptic seizure. In addition, similar triggering factors have been identified for both migraine and epilepsy. Some antiseizure medications (ASMs) are effective in reducing migraine frequency.
