“…In the study population allergy and psychiatric conditions were comorbid with migraine, as reported previously [11][12][13]. In a more detailed analysis the disorders were especially prevalent among the MwA+MwoA, Unc.mig and MwA phenotypes.…”

The objective of the study was to investigate comorbidity of migraine in Finnish migraine families. One thousand consecutive participants in the Finnish Migraine Gene Project reported their medical illnesses in addition to migraine and headache. Migraine patients (n=678) reported significantly more hypotension (OR 1.43, CI 95% 1.02-2.01), allergy (OR 1.83, CI 95% 1.34-2.51) and psychiatric disorders (OR 4.09, CI 95% 2.11-7.92) compared to their family members without migraine (n=322). Subgroup analyses demonstrated that especially women and the group fulfilling the criteria for both migraine with and without aura were likely to have additional disorders besides their migraine. Interestingly, male migraineurs with aura reported a significant association with stroke and epilepsy. Familial migraine is comorbid with hypotension, allergy and psychiatric disorders. The association between migraine with aura and stroke and epilepsy among men of the studied families warrants further study. Clinical, pathophysiological and genetic implications of these results are discussed.

“…In a study that attempted to differentiate between the two migraine subtypes [2], MA patients were found to have higher rates for major depression (45.5 vs. 31.9%), dysthymia and manic episodes compared with MO patients. These findings have been supported by further studies [13,14] reporting that anxiety disorders and major depression co-existed in 30% of migraine patients. Breslau et al [1] reviewed the lifetime prevalence rates of major mood disorders in patients suffering from MA and MO, underlining that the onset of anxiety generally precedes onset of migraine, which in turns precedes the onset of depression.…”

“…The majority of clinical and population studies [1][2][3][13][14][15] suggest the presence of a close relationship between migraine, depression and anxiety disorders. These studies considered MO and MA both together and separately, without any specification on the side of the pain.…”

Psychiatric disorders and pain location in unilateral migraineurs

et al. 2005

To explore the relationship between the side of pain during attacks and psychopathological features in strictly unilateral migraine, we recruited 35 patients affected by migraine with and/or without aura diagnosed according to the revised ICHD-II criteria. Seventeen patients had right side-locked pain (R-SUM), 11 had left side-locked (L-SUM) and 7 had side-shifting pain (SSM). Patients were administered the Hamilton Anxiety Scale, the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Anxiety, the Beck Depression Inventory and the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale. Statistical analyses showed that the L-SUM group was significantly more anxious and depressed than the other two groups of patients. Our preliminary data suggest that strictly left unilateral migraine is associated with more severe anxiety and depression. This finding appears to be consistent with studies that reported a higher degree of these disorders in patients with left cerebral hemispheric damage

“…[24][25][26][27] Fewer studies have been published assessing tension-type headaches and psychiatric comorbidity. Nonetheless, the evidence is fairly consistent that tension headache patients are more likely than healthy controls to suffer from psychiatric disorders, especially anxiety and depression.…”

Sexual dysfunction in women with migraine versus tension-type headaches: a comparative study

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of sexual dysfunction between patients with tension-type headaches (T), migraines (M) and healthy controls (C) in order to investigate the relationship between sexual dysfunction and the features of headaches. The population comprised of 44 patients with M, 30 with T and 30 with C. They have completed Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX), Visual Analog Scale. The number of sexual activities over the past 30 days and the frequency of masturbation behavior in C were considerably higher than those in the headache groups. The averages for ASEX item no. 1, 2, 3 and 4 were significantly higher in those with M versus C; and both the subscales and total scores of ASEX were also higher in those with T than C. The mean score for ASEX item no. 3 and the total ASEX score were significantly higher in T versus M. In both headache groups, no significant relationship was observed between headache features and ASEX. The present study showed that patients with either M or T do experience problems in several aspects of sexuality compared with C. Further research is essential to augment our understanding of the sexual dysfunction in this field.
