Objective: The aim of the study was to examine eating
attitudes in patients with migraine and tension type headache.
Methods: The study included 89 patients diagnosed with
migraine according to the International Headache Society (IHS) 2004 criteria,
87 patients with tension type headache and 89 healthy volunteers matched in
terms of age, gender and education level. A detailed neurological examination
was made of all the participants and the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT), the Beck
Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were applied.
Results: In the comparisons of
the EAT points, 23 of the tension type headache group and 18 of the migraine group were in the
EAT ≥ 30 group, which was a statistically significantly higher rate compared to
the control group (p = 0.099). The
mean BDI points and the mean BAI points of both the migraine and the tension type headache groups
were statistically significantly higher than those of the control group (p = 0.001 and p = 0.002, respectively).
Conclusions: The results showed impairment in the eating attitudes of patients with
migraine and tension type headache compared to the control group. When it is
considered that some foodstuffs trigger headaches, eating disorders or impaired
attitudes to eating become important.
