“…22 This finding supports previous research that has consistently found an association between the perception of stress as measured by daily hassles and headaches. 2,7 Consistent with these earlier studies, 2,7 the current investigation also found that the greater the number of hassles reported predicted higher headache frequency, duration, and intensity. These findings suggest that chronic headache sufferers' appraisal of these daily annoyances as stressful may impact headache activity.…”

The present study indicates that there is a relationship between perfectionism and chronic headache in university students, with those higher in perfectionism experiencing more frequent headaches. This investigation confirmed the relationship between daily hassles and chronic headache in this population. The results also suggest that perfectionists may generate their own stress through their tendency to appraise more situations as hassles. This, in turn, may explain their tendency to experience chronic headaches.

“…Factor analyses generally differentiate distinct sets of problem-focused (e.g., making a plan of action and following it) and emotion-focused (e.g., distancing) factors. The WOC has been widely used to examine the personal and situational concomitants of coping and to (Marlowe, 1998) and the Utrecht Coping List (Franken, Hendriks, Haffmans, & van der Meer, 2001). Carver and associates (Carver & Scheier, 1994;Carver et al, 1989) developed a situational measure to complement their dispositional measure of coping by asking individuals what they thought or did in a specific stressful encounter.…”

Dispositional and contextual perspectives on coping: Toward an integrative framework

The clinical disciplines have witnessed a rapidly growing literature on the conceptualization and measurement of coping and on the role of coping in confronting stressful life circumstances and maintaining adaptive functioning. This literature has spawned a diversity of concepts and contrasting perspectives on the determinants and effects of coping. To address this complexity, we comment on dispositional and contextual perspectives on the coping process, describe the domains of coping styles and coping skills, and review some measures of these constructs. Next, we present a conceptual framework that integrates key aspects of these constructs and use the framework to guide a selective review of the linkages between personal and social resources, coping skills, and adaptive functioning. We then consider applications of the framework to clinical practice.

“…Recent neuroimaging studies have shown that the external stimuli activate the human arousal state and elicit passive attention (15), therefore the high baseline arousal found in TTH as well as in migraine (16) might indicate a passive attention deficit in these primary headaches. On the other hand, based on previous findings that more stresses from common daily activities were perceived by patients suffering from CTTH compared with those from migraine (3,(17)(18)(19)(20)(21), we have hypothesized that the deficit of passive attention would be more severe in CTTH. In the current study design, the single-tone elicited P3 would be more reduced in this headache type than in migraine.…”

The active 'oddball' event-related potential (ERP) P3 is elongated or reduced in migraine and tension-type headaches, indicating a deficit of active attention in these primary headaches. It is then reasonable to study the passive attention function in these headaches through the technology of passive paradigm single-tone elicited ERPs. We invited 32 patients suffering from chronic tension-type headache (CTTH), 17 from frequent episodic tension-type headache (FETH) and 32 from interictal migraine without aura, as well as 28 healthy subjects to undergo passive paradigm single-tone ERPs. There were no statistically significant differences when the mean latencies and amplitudes of N1, P2, N2 or the mean latencies of P3 of the four groups were considered. In contrast, the P3 amplitudes were significantly reduced in the patient groups when compared with healthy controls. However, no further significant difference was found between patient groups when considering P3 amplitude. Our study demonstrated a deficit of passive attention in CTTH, FETH and migraine, but could not separate these headache types in this regard. The reduced P3 in patients might be due to the head pain experienced.
