Abstract

Previous epidemiological studies have found an increased risk for ischemic stroke in patients with migraine; however, the evidence for a causal relationship between migraine and ischemic stroke is scarce. This study aims to explore the potential causal relationship between migraine and ischemic stroke and its subtypes [including large artery stroke (LAS), small vessel stroke (SVS), and cardioembolic stroke (CES)].
