But her study of 1,064 pairs of female twins, published in the journal Headache in 2009, supports the idea of a common genetic link. Schur found that among her twin sets, migraine was inherited 44% of the time and depression 58%. When one sibling...
Researchers like Terwindt and Schur have already begun hunting for the exact genes that may underlie both migraine and depression - information that could lead to novel treatments for both conditions. But headache sufferers needn't wait around for such results. "If you have a headache that is disabling and comes and goes, the overwhelming odds are that it is migraine," says Dr. Stephen Silberstein, director of the Jefferson Headache Center in Philadelphia. Sufferers should consult their primary-care physicians for treatment, since there are already very effective treatments for migraines on the market today, and some medications (like the tricyclic...
