Chronic Migraine and Alzheimer’s Dementia: A Candidate Mechanistic Route, and the Evidence That Would Test It

2026-08-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objective: </h4> To establish whether the published epidemiological record can support or refute the proposition that chronic migraine is a modifiable midlife contributor to Alzheimer’s dementia, and to specify the studies that would settle the question. <h4>Background:</h4> Migraine is repeatedly reported as a dementia risk factor and has been proposed for addition to the list of modifiable risks. A route fro...
