ABSTRACT
Recently, interest in sarcopenia has been increasing in patients with various neurological diseases. Thus, we investigated the presence of sarcopenia in patients with episodic migraine (EM) based on temporal muscle thickness (TMT). This was a retrospectively observational study following STROBE guidelines. We enrolled patients with EM and healthy controls. Both groups underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging, including three-dimensional T1-weighted imaging. We calculated the TMT using T1-weighted imaging, which is a marker for sarcopenia. We compared TMT between patients with EM and healthy controls, and analyzed it according to presence of migraine aura. We retrospectively enrolled 82 patients with EM and 53 healthy controls. TMT was not different between patients with EM and healthy controls (10.804 ±â€…2.045 mm in patients with EM vs 10.721 ±â€…1.547 mm in healthy controls, P = .801). Furthermore, TMT was not different according to presence of migraine aura in patients with EM (10.994 ±â€…2.016 mm in patients with migraine aura vs 10.716 ±â€…2.071 mm in those without, P = .569). There were no correlations between TMT and clinical characteristics in patients with EM, including age, age of onset, duration of migraine, headache intensity, and headache frequency. This study found no statistical difference in TMT between patients with EM and healthy controls or between patients with EM with and without aura. These findings suggest that there is no evidence of sarcopenia in patients with EM.
