Profile of Sensory Integration Disorders in Migraine Patients—New Perspectives of Therapy
Abstract
Background: The involvement of sensory integration disorders in the pathophysiology of migraine has been suggested. This study aims to analyze the relationship between symptoms of sensory integration disorders and migraine in a broad scope, including all sensory domains, and examine its impact on migraine attacks. Methods: The study included 372 people diagnosed with migraine. The Daniel Travis Questionnaire was used to assess symptoms of sensory integration disorders and their severity across six domains. The relationships between the severity of these symptoms and headache features, as well as accompanying headache symptoms, were the subject of statistical analysis. Results: Current impairment in all sensory domains was significantly associated with headaches exacerbated by everyday life activities. A significant inverse relationship was found between the occurrence of throbbing headaches and symptoms of sensory integration disorders in terms of current sensory discrimination, current motor skills, and current emotional/social skills. Past under-responsiveness and past disturbances in emotional/social abilities were significantly associated with migraine aura. Conclusions: The severity of symptoms of sensory integration disorders affects the clinical picture of migraine. The significant association between migraine and emotional/social disorders, as well as under-responsiveness in the past, needs further research to assess whether this is a cause-and-effect relationship.…
