AB  - The Objective of this study was to assess possible association of history of 
      migraine with pre-eclampsia (PE). This was a retrospective study to compare 
      history of migraine in 90 women affected by PE with 90 women without PE as the 
      control group. They recruited by a nonrandomized consecutive sampling method. 
      Data were collected by a questionnaire including demographic, medical, 
      obstetrics, and migraine assessment sections. Data were analyzed using SPSS. 
      Results showed an increased risk of PE in women with history of migraine (odds 
      ratio: 2.87; p < 0.05). Result demonstrated that migraine history in the case 
      group is 14/4% and in control group is 5/6%. Gestational age (GA) at delivery and 
      weight of neonate (WN) were significantly lower compared to control (GA: 37.3 +/- 
      2.6 vs. 38.7+/- 1.3 weeks T test; P < 0.01) (WN: 2930 +/- 690 vs. 3330 +/- 420; T 
      test; P < 0.0). Cesarean section was more frequent in the PE group compared to 
      the control group [37 (42%) vs. 14 (15.6%)]; chi square; p < 0.01]. The 
      association of migraine with PE is the result of some similar mechanism leading 
      to endothelial dysfunction. Frequent reports of an association between migraine 
      and PE in different populations suggest a history of migraine as a risk factor 
      for PE/gestational hypertension (GH).
