Abstract
Purpose:
To evaluate the possible effects of migraine on retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL), ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL), macular thickness and retinal arteriolar and venular diameters (CRAE, CRVE) in a population-based birth cohort.
Methods:
375 migraineurs and 1489 healthy controls were included in this cross-sectional cohort study. RNFL, GC-IPL and macular thickness parameters were measured by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), and vascular parameters were measured from fundus photographs. Migraine was determined by a questionnaire and specific features were selected as covariates (gender, smoking status, systolic blood pressure, refraction and diabetes).
Results:
There were no statistically significant differences between healthy controls and migraineurs in average RNFL (p = 0.123), macular (p = 0.488) or GC-IPL (p = 0.437) thickness. Migraine did not have a significant effect on any of the macular or GC-IPL subfields. For RNFL subfields, only temporal inferior was borderline significantly increased in migraineurs (p = 0.039) in adjusted results. No statistically significant differences were found between study groups on retinal vascular calibres CRAE (p = 0.879), CRVE (p = 0.145) or AVR (p = 0.259). GC-IPL thickness was found to be positively correlated with CRAE and CRVE in both study groups as GC-IPL thickness increased together with the increase in CRAE and CRVE (p-trend < 0.001 in both), and a similar trend was detected with central macular subfield thickness and systolic (p-trend < 0.001) and diastolic (p-trend = 0.010) blood pressure, but only in the control group.
Conclusion:
There were no remarkable differences between migraineurs and healthy controls in retinal vascular or structural parameters in our study.
