Abstract

: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Migraine are two diseases featuring high prevalence. Previous studies have suggested a relationship between IBS and migraine, although the causal association remains unclear. The authors sought to explore the causal association between IBS and migraine, and to show the importance of migraine prevention in IBS patients.
