The inverse-variance weighted approach (IVW) in MR analysis indicated that higher basal metabolic rate (BMR) reduced migraine risk (OR = 0.996, 95% CI: 0.992-0.998, <i>p</i> = 0.004) and headache risk (OR = 0.998, 95% CI: 0.997-1.000, <i>p</i> = 0.018). Fat-free mass also exhibited protective effects on migraines (OR = 0.997, 95% CI: 0.994-1.000, <i>p</i> = 0.045).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Increased muscle mass is associated with reduced migraine risk, partially mediated by attenuating systemic inflammation. These findings provide us with an approach of health management to prevent migraines.</p>","PeriodicalId":16661,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pain Research","volume":"18 ","pages":"2269-2283"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12056526/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144040832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
