Abstract:Objective To explore the relationships of migraine with aura, migraine without aura and chronic migraine with the severity of balance dysfunction. Methods According to the international diagnostic criteria of headache, 203 cases of migraine were selected and identified. Among them, 68 had migraine with aura, 73 had migraine without aura and 62 had chronic migraine. The clinical data of the three migraine subtypes and the severity of balance dysfunction were analyzed. And the relationships of the three migraine subtypes with the severity of balance dysfunction were analyzed by logistic regression. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that rate of movement [Ol ^ R = 2.96 (95% CI: 1.13, 9.32), P < 0.05] and direction control [Ol ^ R = 1.47 (95% CI: 1.03, 3.38), P < 0.05] were the important factors affecting the balance dysfunction of the patients with aura migraine; step width [Ol ^ R = 2.45 (95% CI: 1.73, 6.74), P < 0.05] and moving speed [Ol ^ R = 3.76 (95% CI: 1.21, 9.28), P < 0.05] were the important factors affecting the balance dysfunction of the patients with non-aura migraine; moving speed [Ol ^ R = 3.02 (95% CI: 1.23, 8.96), P < 0.05], maximal displacement [Ol ^ R = 1.59 (95% CI: 1.22, 3.67), P < 0.05] and mean response time [Ol ^ R = 1.89 (95% CI: 1.48, 5.35), P < 0.05] were the important factors affecting the balance dysfunction of the patients with chronic migraine. Conclusions Patients with different migraine subtypes have mild or continuously aggravated balance dysfunction, in which the velocity of movement is an important factor that affects the balance dysfunction of the patients with aura migraine, non-aura migraine and chronic migraine.
