To help clarify whether or not classic migraine (C1M) and common migraine (CoM) should be considered as a single entity, we compared the clinical features of a group of C1M patients with those of a group of CoM patients. Significant differences between the two forms of migraine were found in the following areas: age distribution of sufferers; family history of migraine, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, and coronary heart disease; age at onset; frequency of attacks; duration, location, and severity of pain; accompanying symptoms; and, evolution during weekends, menstruation, pregnancy, and puerperium. Our comparative investigation suggests that CIM and CoM are more distinct than previously considered.

Abstract
To help clarify whether or not classic migraine (C1M) and common migraine (CoM) should be considered as a single entity, we compared the clinical features of a group of C1M patients with those of a group of CoM patients. Significant differences between the two forms of migraine were found in the following areas: age distribution of sufferers; family history of migraine, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, and coronary heart disease; age at onset; frequency of attacks; duration, location, and severity of pain; accompanying symptoms; and, evolution during weekends, menstruation, pregnancy, and puerperium. Our comparative investigation suggests that CIM and CoM are more distinct than previously considered.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
