Anxiety/depression symptoms and sleep quality in patients with menstrual migraine
Abstract
ObjectiveTo assess the anxiety and depression symptoms and sleep quality in patients with menstrual migraine, so as to provide references for the prevention and treatment of menstrual migraine and its comorbidity.MethodsAccording to the diagnostic criteria of the International Classification of Headache Disorder, third edition (ICHD-3), 501 female migraine patients, including 112 patients with menstrual migraine and 389 patients with non-menstrual migraine, who attended the outpatient clinic of the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from February 2019 to February 2020, were selected for the study. The general and clinical data of the patients were collected, meantime, patients were assessed using Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item (HAMD-24), 6-item Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).ResultsThe detection rates of pure anxiety, pure depression, comorbid anxiety-depression and sleep disorders in patients with menstrual migraine were higher than those in patients with non-menstrual migraine (χ2=4.198, 4.355, 5.236, 8.624, P<0.05 or 0.01). Patients with menstrual migraine had higher scores of HAMA、HAMD-17、PSQI and HIT-6 than those of non-menstrual migraine patients (Z=-3.550、-2.723、-2.482、-4.717,P<0.05 or 0.01). Correlation analysis showed that PSQI score of menstrual migraine patients was positively correlated with HAMA score (r=0.338, P<0.01), HAMD-24 score (r=0.372, P<0.01) and HIT-6 score (r=0.192, P<0.05).ConclusionCompared with non-menstrual migraine patients, patients with menstrual migraine experience more severe anxiety and depression symptoms and sleep problems and suffer greater negative life impacts. In addition, the influence of anxiety and depression symptoms and headache on daily life is associated with sleep quality.
