The impact of comorbid migraine on quality-of-life outcomes after endoscopic sinus surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives/hypothesis

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and migraine are common entities with overlapping symptomatology, yet little research exists that investigates the intersection of the two. This study seeks to investigate whether patients with CRS-with and without a migraine history-experience comparable quality-of-life (QOL) improvement after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS).

Study design

Retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort.

Methods

An adult population (n = 229) with medically refractory CRS was prospectively evaluated following ESS using disease-specific QOL surveys: the Rhinosinusitis Disability Index (RSDI), the Chronic Sinusitis Survey (CSS), and the Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22). History of comorbid migraine was identified (n = 46), and preoperat
