“…Studies related to the 2003 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in China and Canada, as well as the 2014 Ebola outbreak in Africa, reported that quarantine is associated with several negative psychological effects, such as post-traumatic stress symptoms, confusion, and anger ( 7 , 8 ), with a potential increase in suicidal risk ( 9 ). Changes in social behavior and work activities, the unavailability of a public health system for routine medical management, and widespread fear of infection could cause important psychosocial outcomes ( 10 – 13 ), and could dramatically increase the burden of the disease. However, few data have been reported on the impact on migraine caused by psychosocial distress due to COVID-19 and long-term distancing measures.…”

“…Studies also showed that longer quarantine duration would cause psychological distress [ 16 , 27 ]. There is an increasing evidence that during public health emergency psychological distress together with alexithymia may be considered risk factors for negative outcomes (e.g., suicide), even simply increasing the risk of development of depressive symptoms [ 28 , 29 ]. In addition, the unique sensory processing patterns of individuals with major affective disorders and their relationship with psychiatric symptomatology have been clearly reported.…”

Background Psychological distress is highly prevalent among migraineurs during public health emergencies. The coronavirus disease 2019 (nCOV-2019) has created mass panic in China due to its highly contagious by contact and aerosols and lack of effective treatment. However, the emotion status of migraineurs stayed unclear during the nCOV-2019 outbreak. Objective To understand psychological distress of migraineurs by comparing with common population and identify potential high-risk factors of severe psychological distress among migraine patients. Method We enrolled the migraineurs treated at the department of Neurology of West China Hospital and healthy controls with age- and sex-matched to migraineurs. Data on clinicodemographics and psychological distress in the month of February 2020 (during in the nCOV-2019 outbreak in China) were collected. We used the Kessler 6-item (K-6) scale to assess psychological distress. Potential risk factors of severe psychological distress were identified using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results The 144 migraineurs and 150 controls were included in the study. Migraineurs showed significantly higher K-6 scores than controls ( P < 0.001). Migraine attack frequency in previous 30 days and time spent paying attention to outbreak showed significant in multivariate logistic regression with respective odds ratios of 2.225 (95%CI 1.361–3.628, P = 0.001) and 1.589 (95% 1.117–2.26, P = 0.01). Conclusion During public health outbreaks, healthcare professionals should focus not only on controlling and reducing migraine attack but also on mental health of migraineurs, especially those with high frequency migraine attack.
