Q:

Are children who experience migraines more likely to be dyslexic?

A:

We put this question to two expert doctors - Dr Sue Lipscombe, a GP with a specialist interest in migraine in children, and Dr Abu-Arafeh, a Paediatric Consultant from Stirling Royal Infirmary who runs clinics for children with migraine in Scotland.

Both agree that children with migraine are no more or less likely to have dyslexia than children without migraine.

If you or someone you know has both migraine and dyslexia this is probably just a matter of coincidence (rather than one condition causing the other).
