Prevalence of migraine headache in an in‐patient stroke population

ConclusionsThe prevalence of migraine in this hospital‐based stroke cohort was comparable to the estimated prevalence of migraine usually described in population studies. In our study population, the prevalence of migraine with aura was higher than expected. The increased prevalence of PFO in patients with migraine headache corresponds well to previous population studies.
