Epilepsy

More broadly than migraine, a Lithuanian study analysed a sample of people with epilepsy and found that 83.2% reported some form of headache.^{[Mameniškienė et al., 2016]} The most common type of headache in the sample was tension-type headache (30%), followed by migraine (25%).^{[Mameniškienė et al., 2016]} Although the prevalence of individual types of headaches were not so different from population estimates from the Eurolight study,^{[Steiner et al., 2014]} migraine appeared to be more common in males with epilepsy than the general population.^{[Mameniškienė et al., 2016]}
