What is The Impact of Migraines and Headaches on Elderly Patients?
Most of the literature about the impact of migraines on individuals over the age of 65 revolve around comorbid conditions they are facing. Some research suggests those with diagnosed migraines may be at an increased risk for strokes and depression. No evidence was noted in regards to headaches and Alzheimer’s or dementia. However, if you have been diagnosed with another condition and have headaches, the headaches must be considered for treatment planning.
