Abstract excerpt

Migraine is a common chronic neurological disorder that poses a significant burden to global health. Investigating the risk factors for migraine is crucial for its prevention and management. Air pollution, one of the greatest environmental risks to public health today, has not yet been conclusively linked to migraine, and the quality of existing studies varies widely. To avoid potential confounders in...
