Results Total scores tended increase (P = .022) in aura; similar results obtained AD8 women aura. Poor sleep quality was a higher total complaint (B 0.08, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.03-0.14) 0.07, CI 0.02-0.11) scores. In addition, more severe depression 0.05, 0.02-0.09; B 0.05-0.11, respectively). Conclusions tend migraines this interrelation is substantially influenced disturbances.
