The Effect of Major Life Changes on Migraine Chronification

Abstract

Migraine may progress into chronic daily headache(CDH). Although population based data are scarce, recently experienced life events such as divorce, moves, changes in work, problems releated to children and psychiatric comorbidity are all known as precipitating factors for CDH. In our study, we aimed to show the effect of major life changes on migraine chronification. The episodic migraine patients admitted to neurology department outpatient headache clinic of Uludag University Medical Faculty between November 2008-2009 were included to the study. Major life changes were questioned for 1 year retrospectively and followed 1 year prospectively. As a result, in CDH group (Group 2) increasing life changes were related to increasing medication overuse (r=0,604, p=0,029). Logistic regression analyses of findings showed that changes in total health score of 24 month were greater in group 2 than group 1 (p=0,049). Medication overuse was significantly higher in Goup 2 than group 1(p=0,001).
