Do Personality Traits Mediate the Relationship Between Childhood Abuse and Migraine? An Exploration of the Relationships in Young Adults Using the Add Health Dataset

Abstract: Childhood abuse is associated with personality and migraine. An estimated 21% of the total effect of childhood abuse on migraine could be explained by mediation through neuroticism in the unadjusted model. In the fully adjusted model, an estimated 8.7% of the total effect could be explained by mediation, although, self-reported data limit the ability to draw firm conclusions.

“…There is also evidence of neuroticism as a potential mediator for the relationship between childhood abuse and migraine. These results have been confirmed through direct and indirect statistical analyses [ 87 ]. The relationship between migraine/headaches and childhood abuse has been established in large non-clinic-based samples together with several small case control studies using clinic and non-clinic-based sampling frames [ 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 ].…”

“…In fact, it is well-known that personality traits (especially neuroticism) and childhood maltreatment have been independently associated with several negative health outcomes later in life, including migraine [ 87 ]. These results are in line with the previous evidence in which personality traits, especially neuroticism, are mediators for the relationship between childhood maltreatment and several mental health variables (i.e., depression, psychological distress, anxiety, substance abuse, alcohol dependence, etc.)…”

“…There was an influence of early life family-level factors on the prospective risk of developing migraine moderated through symptoms of depression and anxiety. Moreover, adverse childhood experiences have been demonstrated to have a stable association with an adult diagnosis of migraine [ 13 15 ], and the association seems to be mediated through neuroticism [ 16 ]. Pain as a neonate, defined as prescribed analgesics during stays at the neonatal intensive care unit, has also shown an association with an earlier onset of migraine [ 17 ].…”
