Abstract Objective We hypothesized that, in migraine patients, central sensitization (CS) could be associated with comorbid restless legs syndrome (RLS). Methods We conducted a case–control study including 186 migraine patients and 186 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Symptoms related to CS syndrome were assessed by the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI). Individuals with CSI Part A (CSI-A) scores ≥ 40 were defined as having CS. For patients with migraine, the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9 were administered. In the patient group, RLS and migraine were diagnosed through faceto-face interviews. Results Among migraine patients, 26 (14.0%) suffered from chronic migraine. The mean disease duration was 23.7 ± 11.8 years. Migraine patients showed a higher rate of CS (21.0% vs. 8.6%) than healthy controls, with an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 3.039 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.560–5.992; p = 0.001). Migraine patients in the CS group had higher rates of smoking, chronic migraine and RLS and higher BPI and PHQ-9 scores than migraine patients in the nonCS group. The use of acute and preventive treatment for migraine did not significantly differ between the CS and non-CS groups. Multivariable analysis identified the presence of RLS (AOR, 28.471; 95% CI 6.438–125.918; p
