Prevalence of Raynaud's phenomenon in patients with migraine.

We assessed the prevalence of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) in 111 migrainous patients and 111 controls matched for age and sex. While 29 (26%) of the 111 migrainous patients suffered from RP, its prevalence among the controls was seven (6%) of 111. Raynaud's phenomenon was diagnosed among 13 (33%) of 39 patients with classic migraine and 16 (22%) of 72 patients with common migraine. Drug treatment did not account for the different prevalence in the two groups. We conclude that RP occurs more frequently in patients suffering from migraine than in the non-migrainous population.

Handedness in musicians.

In order to study the prevalence of left- or mixed-handedness in musicians, we decided to examine a population of professional musicians. We assessed the handedness pattern of 382 members of 7 orchestras. The prevalence of non-right-handedness in musicians was found to be much the same as in the general population. Similar results emerged from a study of young music school pupils. We conclude that brain structural tomographic imaging should ideally be performed, and the pattern of cerebral asymmetry analysed in order to assess cerebral lateralization in musicians.
