ABSTRACT
Migraine is a highly debilitating disease affecting humans worldwide. Despite having known this disease for a long time, not many studies have been done to search for a chronic infectious cause of migraine. The goal of this study was to look for an association between migraine and Helicobacter pylori infection. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) standards, we conducted the analysis and literature search using PubMed, Google Scholar and Cochrane databases. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the search technique produced a total of 10 articles including one cross-sectional study, two randomized controlled trials (RCTs), one cohort study, five case-control studies and one meta-analysis. Analysis of these studies revealed that there could be an association between Helicobacter pylori infection and migraine, especially in the Asian population. However, the mechanism by which the infection could possibly cause this extra-gastric disorder needs further research and analysis.
