Abstract

Photosensitivity, often called “photophobia” in the migraine literature, is a common and bothersome symptom for most people during their migraine attacks. This study aimed to investigate the association of photophobia severity with work productivity, activity impairment, and migraine-associated disability using data from a large cohort of patients with migraine who were enrolled into the American Registry for Migraine Research (ARMR).
