Clinical and psychological characteristics of migraine patients
Abstract
Introduction. Understanding the clinical and psychological characteristics of migraine patients is essential for developing effective multidisciplinary treatment that includes psychological methods. The personality characteristics of migraine patients continue to be studied and discussed. The study of individual-psychological characteristics of personality in patients with migraine of different frequency is topical.Aim. To assess clinical and psychological characteristics in patients with varying frequency of migraine.Materials and Methods. Sixty migraine patients, mean age 32.92 ± 6.23 years, were included in the study. Depending on the frequency of migraine, all study participants were allocated to 1 of 3 groups: Group 1 – patients with rare episodic migraine; Group 2 – patients with frequent episodic migraine; Group 3 – patients with chronic migraine. All patients were interviewed and tested.Results and discussion.
