Abstract in brief

  • The review examined 12 studies involving over 4 million participants to explore the link between outdoor air pollution and migraines, finding that certain pollutants like carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and particulate matter are often associated with increased migraine risk.
  • The studies used various research designs and measured different outcomes, but most showed point estimates indicating a higher risk of migraines connected to these pollutants, especially in single-pollutant models.
  • Overall, quality of the studies was moderate to low risk of bias, and stronger-quality studies tended to report weaker associations, suggesting the need for more research to clarify these links.]
