African Americans with migraine disease face compounded challenges due to limited access to specialized treatments and discrimination in medical settings, leading to disparities in migraine care and outcomes. However, few studies have investigated how perceived discrimination affects migraine\u2010specific quality of life in this population. This study evaluated whether higher levels of perceived lifetime discrimination and discrimination in medical settings were associated with worse migraine\u2010specific quality of life in Black\/African Americans with migraine.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Black\/African American adults with a migraine diagnosis (\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200991) were recruited from a tertiary headache center between October 2023 and April 2024 for this cross\u2010sectional study. Participants underwent testing using validated research tools to measure migraine\u2010specific quality of life (Migraine\u2010Specific Quality\u2010of\u2010Life Questionnaire), lifetime perceived discrimination (Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire\u2013Community Version [PEDQ\u2010CV]), and discrimination in medical settings (Discrimination in Medical Settings Scale [DMS]). Headache frequency and pain intensity were assessed via Migraine Disability Assessment items (MIDAS Item A and B). Associations between discrimination measures and migraine\u2010specific quality of life, controlling for headache pain, frequency, and sex at birth were examined.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Higher levels of lifetime perceived discrimination and discrimination in medical settings were significantly associated with worse migraine\u2010specific quality of life (PEDQ\u2010CV:\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009\u22120.30,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.004, 95% confidence interval [CI] \u22120.49 to \u22120.10; DMS:\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009\u22120.27,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.016, 95% CI \u22120.47 to \u22120.06), independent of headache frequency and sex at birth.

These findings highlight the critical need for interventions that reduce bias in migraine care, improve pain management, and address the psychosocial stress linked to discrimination.
