Tension-type headaches are a common occurrence for many people. Psychological issues such as stress, depression, and anxiety have been shown to coexist with tension-type headaches. The relationship between psychological factors and headaches is supported by literature, and treatments that combine a pharmacologic and psychological approach address the needs of the whole person. In this article, the role of psychometric testing and the application of psychological interventions for use on patients with tension-type headaches are reviewed. Recommendations are made about approaches that are designed to improve physical and psychological health.

“…Walfish et al [1] note that in prior reviews of the MBMD with general medical patients [2], the test scales' internal consistency numbers were judged to be good in one critique [4] and variable in a second appraisal [5]. The two reviewers agreed that scales addressing unidimensional psychosocial features (e.g., anxiety, depression, pessimism, social isolation, pain sensitivity) showed alpha coefficients that approached or exceeded 0.80.…”

“…No less important in scientific considerations are statistics concerning a clinical instrument's theoretical-construct and external-criterion validity; this is especially relevant when test scale scores are to be correlated with concurrent psychological indicators. Most test manuals report, as does the full MBMD manual [2], on each test scales' internal reliability and test-retest stability, as well as one or more forms of validity.…”

“…The review focused on one reliability gauge, that of the internal consistency, or the dimensional purity of the scales of the Millon Behavioral Medicine Diagnostic (MBMD) [2]. The instrument provides a tailored clinical report designed to assess medical and surgical patients, and its bariatric algorithms are normed on over 700 patients considered for bariatric surgery [3].…”

Background: While neuropsychological deficits are common in patients with end stage liver disease (ESLD) evaluated for transplantation, the determinant factors are not clear. Methods: Towards that end, we examined data from 108 patients who completed neuropsychological tests as part of their liver transplantation evaluation. First, controlling for estimated premorbid ability and mood, multiple regression analyses were used to examine the effects of illness severity on cognition. Second, we compared neuropsychological functioning of patients with vs. without a history of excessive alcohol use, independent of primary liver disease diagnosis. Results: Severity of illness was associated with the extent of psychomotor slowing. Excessive alcohol use was associated with lower scores on tests of memory. Furthermore, worse memory was not explained by lower estimated premorbid ability, lower concurrently measured general intelligence, or greater illness severity. Conclusions: Our findings illustrate the importance of controlling for estimated premorbid ability in assessing the effect of illness variables on cognition. Another implication is that measures of psychomotor speed are important in assessing cognition in patients with ESLD, and especially for patients with a history of excessive alcohol use, a broader range of domains, including memory, should be examined.
