Amsterdam – A recent Dutch study found that alcoholic beverages make people more susceptible to migraines.
The study was conducted by researchers from the Department of Neurology at the Medical Center of the University of Leiden and published their findings on Wednesday in the scientific journal "European Journal of Neurology".
To detect the relationship between alcohol and migraines, the team followed 2197 patients with migraine headaches and reviewed their drinking habits.
The researchers found that alcoholic beverages stimulated migraines in 35.6% of participants.
The researchers also found that about 25% of migraine sufferers who stopped consuming alcohol had done so because of their migraine-induced effects.
"The migraine caused by alcohol occurs quickly after consuming alcohol, suggesting a mechanism different from that of normal migraine attacks," said Dr. Gisela Terwendt, chief of the Ministry of Health. team.
"Migraines occurred less than three hours after drinking alcohol in one third of patients, and red wine was the most alcoholic cause of headache for 77.8% of participants.
