In order to evaluate a possible association between migraine and idiopathic narcolepsy, we performed a multicentre case-control study on the comorbidity of narcolepsy and different headaches. In total, 96 patients with idiopathic narcolepsy were enrolled. The migraine frequency in the patients and in the control group was 21.9% and 19.8%, respectively ( P = 0.722). The migraine features did not differ significantly between both groups. However, headache fulfilling the criteria for tension-type headache was significantly more often reported by narcolepsy patients than by the control group (60.3% vs. 40.7%, P = 0.006). We conclude that there is no association between migraine and narcolepsy but that patients with narcolepsy show more unspecific headache, probably due to sleep disturbances.

Abstract Background: Previous cross-sectional studies have shown that Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients have lower serum 25- hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations than controls. whether the research in other regions findings are generalizable to China populations remains untested in other studies. In this case-control study we examined the Correlation between 25-hydroxy-vitamin D and Parkinson's disease.Methods:We establish an association between deficiency of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D and PD in a case-control study of 100 PD patients and 100 control subjects free of neurologic disease in the First Affliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University.Results:Total 25-hydroxy-vitamin D levels, were deficient in 21% of patients with PD compared with 4% of controls. In univariate analyses Plasma levels of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D were associated with PD(p<0.001), respectively. In multivariate analyses, Vitamin D deficiency(25(OH)D <20 ng/mL) were significant associated with PD (p=0.008,OR=17.13,95% CI, 2.082-141.075). Individuals with levels in the lowest quartile of 25(OH)D values had the highest prevalence of PD(p =0.026,OR=11.786,95%CI,1.342-103.51)compared with individuals with values in the highest quartile.Conclusions:Our study reveals an association between 25-hydroxy-vitamin D and PD.Patients with incident PD had significantly lower serum 25(OH)D concentrations than age-matched controls, High-risk PD patients with vitamin D deficiency who have not yet developed exercise impairment, these populations should undergo vitamin D measurement and vitamin D treatment as soon as possible.
