$Although the origins are not yet clear, headache is a common event in APS, with multiple presentations from migraine to chronic daily headache. The true prevalence of migraine in APS is hard to capture, as research suggests overlaps with the general population, where migraine is also common. The types of headaches are also not clearly defined across studies. Headaches reported as migraines may actually be associated with TIAs or cerebrovascular accidents.5 Migraine in APS may be particularly refractory to treatment, with headaches persisting for months or years, especially where APS has remained undetected.4$
