Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by debilitating fatigue as the core symptom. The risk of CFS is nearly 1.5 times higher in migraine while headaches have been reported in 59% of cases with CFS. However, details of its occurrence and severity remain largely unexplored. The primary objective of our study was to determine the occurrence and severity of fatigue and CFS in patients with episodic and chronic migraine. The secondary objectives were to define their relationship with other common comorbidities.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n<jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>60 migraine patients (30 each, episodic [EM] and chronic migraine [CM]) were recruited from Neurology Outpatient Department, GIPMER a tertiary referral center in New Delhi, India. Patients\u2019 headache severity was analyzed using the Headache impact test-6 (HIT-6) score while fatigue and other migraine accompaniments were assessed using Fatigue severity scale (FSS), Chalder fatigue scale, CDC diagnostic criteria for CFS, American College of Rheumatology Diagnostic Criteria for fibromyalgia, Hamilton Depression Scale, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale, and Epworth sleepiness Scale (ESS). Comparative analysis was further done among migraine patients with and without fatigue and CFS.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The mean HIT-6 score was significantly higher in CM versus EM. The CM group had a higher mean FSS score (47.87 vs. 37.3 in EM; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.004), a percentage of patients with severe fatigue (60% vs. 20% in EM; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.004), and a higher percentage of patients with pathological fatigue (83.3% vs. 63.3% in EM; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.04). Around 23.33% of CM patients fulfilled the criteria of CFS. Fatigue correlated positively with severity, frequency, attack duration and chronicity of the migraine episodes, along with depression, anxiety, and excessive daytime sleepiness.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st4\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Fatigue and related comorbid disorders are significantly more common in CM than in EM, expanding the morbidity of the condition and underscores the need to address these accompanying symptoms for devising a holistic treatment plan.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/jnrp_63_2022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,20]],"date-time":"2023-04-20T11:21:54Z","timestamp":1681989714000},"page":"424-431","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome and migraine: Intersecting the lines through a cross-sectional study in patients with episodic and chronic migraine"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Hemant","family":"Kumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, GIPMER, Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kamakshi","family":"Dhamija","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, VMMC and Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashish","family":"Duggal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, GIPMER, Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Geeta Anjum","family":"Khwaja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, GIPMER, Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sujata","family":"Roshan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, GIPMER, Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/JNRP_63_2022\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"788","DOI":"10.1212\/01.WNL.0000113747.18760.D2","article-title":"Incidence and predictors for chronicity of headache in patients with episodic migraine","volume":"62","author":"Katsarava","year":"2004","journal-title":"Neurology"},{"key":"10.25259\/JNRP_63_2022\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"599","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-2982.2009.01941.x","article-title":"Global prevalence of chronic migraine: A systematic review","volume":"30","author":"Natoli","year":"2010","journal-title":"Cephalalgia"},{"key":"10.25259\/JNRP_63_2022\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"78","DOI":"10.1177\/0333102493013S1217","article-title":"Transformed migraine","volume":"13","author":"Mathew","year":"1993","journal-title":"Cephalalgia"},{"key":"10.25259\/JNRP_63_2022\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"549","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1526-4610.1997.3709549.x","article-title":"Fatigue and sleep in chronic headache sufferers: An age-and sex-controlled questionnaire study","volume":"37","author":"Spierings","year":"1997","journal-title":"Headache"},{"key":"10.25259\/JNRP_63_2022\/ref-5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"514","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpsychores.2015.10.005","article-title":"Increased risk of chronic fatigue syndrome in patients with migraine: A retrospective cohort study","volume":"79","author":"Lau","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Psychosom Res"},{"key":"10.25259\/JNRP_63_2022\/ref-6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1271","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclinepi.2004.05.004","article-title":"The short-form headache impact test (HIT-6) was psychometrically equivalent in nine languages","volume":"57","author":"Martin","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Clin Epidemiol"},{"key":"10.25259\/JNRP_63_2022\/ref-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1121","DOI":"10.1001\/archneur.1989.00520460115022","article-title":"The fatigue severity scale.
