description | (1) Background: Migraine is associated with comorbidities that are common in the general rural pediatric population. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the differences in the occurrence of comorbidities between rural children and adolescents with and without migraine. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional, secondary data analysis using electronic medical records of 1296 patients (53.8% females, aged 12.4 ± 3.2) was completed. Mann–Whitney U test was used to detect the difference in the number of comorbidities between the two groups. Chi-square test was used to identify the differences in the number of comorbidities, which were classified as low (0–1 comorbidities), medium (2–3 comorbidities), and high (4 or plus comorbidities) degree of comorbidities. (3) Results: Significant differences were found between those children and adolescents with migraine vs. those without for depression (p < 0.0001), anxiety (p < 0.0001), and Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome (EDS; p = 0.0309). A marginally significant difference was found between those children and adolescents with migraine (47.2%; n = 306) vs. those without (42.1%; n = 273) for unhealthy weight (p = 0.0652). Approximately 40% of the migraineurs had 2–3 comorbidities, whereas 32% of the non-migraineurs had 2–3 comorbidities (p = 0.0003). (4) Conclusions: Findings demonstrate the importance of identifying comorbidities associated with rural pediatric migraine in order to develop effective treatment strategies that optimize patient outcomes. |
