Summary
This paper investigates the relationship between photophobia and sleep quality in patients with migraines, finding that photophobia is a risk factor for sleep disorders in those with migraines.
Categories
Sleep and insomnia: The paper investigates the relationship between photophobia and sleep quality, finding that those with photophobia exhibited significantly poorer sleep quality.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of light in synchronizing the rhythmic activity of the central clock in the hypothalamus, which is crucial for cognitive function and memory.
Pain management: The paper discusses the management of pain during a migraine attack, with seeking the comfort of darkness being a common strategy.
Mood regulation: The paper discusses the role of light in mood regulation, with photophobia being associated with worse sleep-related outcomes and photophilia being associated with better sleep-related outcomes.
Phototherapy: The paper discusses the role of light in managing photophobia and sleep quality in patients with migraines.
