Description
Summary:Objective: There has been ongoing discussion regarding the diagnosis of headaches stemming from multiple causes. Migraine and laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) are frequently overlooked contributors to headaches, necessitating increased attention. Patients exhibiting diverse headache manifestations require tailored treatment options as part of their regular care. This study aims to determine whether LPRD and migraines occur concurrently or have distinct origins for headaches, as well as whether variations in lifestyle have an impact on health and well-being.Materials and Methods: Four hundred fifty patients were assessed through clinical diagnosis, and conservative treatment was recommended, with a strong emphasis on adopting favorable lifestyle practices.Results: The treatment outcomes were monitored during followup appointments, and data were tabulated to identify any correlation between LPRD and migraines.Conclusion: This study suggests that LPRD and migraines coexist as contributing factors to headaches rather than representing entirely separate entities.
