“…Estimates of the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity in patients with CDH range from 64% to 66.1% [63,64] to 90% [65] (mostly anxiety and mood disorders), with higher rates in women with CDH than in men [66,67].…”

Chronic daily headache is a challenge for clinical practitioners and researchers. Etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of chronic daily headache present many questions that need answers. A chance occurrence of psychiatric disorders (mostly anxiety and mood disorders) in patients with chronic daily headache should not be excluded. This results in the need to understand the involved mechanisms, which requires us to draw new insights into the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of chronic daily headache. Psychiatric comorbidity seems to be cross-related to each of these dimensions, although the meanings need to be drawn. Each domain is discussed, considering the status of knowledge and stressing the future lines of research.

IntroductionThe experience of pain represents not just a sensorial process, but a complex perception involving the superior levels of the central nervous system, emotional states and higher mental processes. Besides an analgesic therapy, a global approach to pain treatment also considers, in the majority of chronic pain patients, the intercurrent situational and emotional pathogenetic elements towards a multilateral intervention model.In this study, we aimed to evaluate the occurrence of mood, anxiety and disability disorders in 300 patients affected by chronic daily headache and MOH, who were observed for a 16-month period in our centre.This symptomatology necessarily recalls the correlation between somatic and psychic aspects, mind and body, medicine and psychiatry. The acknowledged comorbidity concerning pain and mood disorders should entail the association of an antalgic therapy with an adequate treatment against depression and anxiety. Epidemiological research showed that mood disorders occurred in a great number of patients affected by headache [1].A multicenter Italian study focused attention on the high comorbidity level between mood disorders and tension-type headache, determining a psychiatric comorbidity of 85% [2].

We monitored the patients on an interview basis, concerning the anamnestic data collection related to the pre-morbid period, information given by relatives regarding the patient's behaviour during the day, attitudes towards others, maintenance of previous interests and enjoyments, and modifications of the biological rhythm. Several tests were conducted, underlining a significant correlation between headache and mood disorders, impairment of working activity, social and family life. The study shows that patients affected by chronic daily headache and MOH present high levels of anxiety, a depressive symptomatology associated with alexithymia. Moreover, it has been discovered that anxiety and depression facilitate the onset of headache, while patients suffering from pain persistence were more vulnerable to psychiatric problems. In consideration of these results, more exhaustive evaluations relating to the psychopathological aspects in patients affected by headache are necessary.

“…The supplement continues with research reports, starting with the paper of Granella et al [8] on the clinical interview used for data collection and the description of the case series. The results regarding psychiatric disorders diagnosed in the chronic headache sample by means of the semi-structured interview are reported in the paper of Puca et al [9]. In light of the memory impairment often associated with headache, the paper of Savarese et al [10] is devoted to the memory disorders found in this study sample.…”
