| Popis: | Background and purpose This study was undertaken to investigate migraine prevalence in persons with hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD) presenting as visual snow syndrome (VSS). Methods Persons with visual snow as a persisting symptom after illicit drug use (HPPD) were recruited via a Dutch consulting clinic for recreational drug use. A structured interview on (visual) perceptual symptomatology, details of drugs use, and medical and headache history was taken. As a control group, persons with visual snow who had never used illicit drugs prior to onset were included. The primary outcome was lifetime prevalence of migraine. Symptom severity was evaluated by the Visual Snow Handicap Inventory (VHI), a 25‐item questionnaire. Results None of the 24 HPPD participants had migraine, whereas 20 of 37 (54.1%) controls had migraine (p Migraine is often reported as comorbidity in visual snow syndrome (VSS). It is also known that visual snow can occur after illicit drugs (Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder; HPPD). We studied migraine prevalence in both groups to investigate whether migraine is a shared trait between the two disease entities. In contrast to our hypothesis migraine was not prevalent in the HPPD group. Although the groups were not balanced in sex, we believe our data suggest that migraine is not the common variable for developing visual snow. |
