Abstract

Background: Relation of circadian factors (including sleep, physical and social activities, eating patterns) in adolescents with primary headaches is still unclear. The aim of this study is to examine circadian rhtyhm factors of children and adolescents with primary headaches and its relation with perceived quality of life and sleep quality as well.
Methods: Adolescents aged 14-18 years with primary headaches were examined via International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), World Health Organization Quality of Life-Short Form (WHOQOL-BREF), Biological Rhythm Interview of Assesment in Neuropsychiatry Scale (BRIAN) and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). SPSS 17.0 was used for statistical analyses. p<.05 was accepted as significant.
Results: Of 101 adolescents with primary headaches and 97 healthy counterparts were included. Of 78.3% were girls. Adolescents with primary headaches had similar circadien pattern of sleep, physical and social activity and eating habits, as well as perceived quality of life and sleep quality compared to the healthy counterparts (for all variables p>.05). In terms of specific headaches, there was a significance for having migraine in terms of higher daytime dysfunction, a subscale of PSQI (F(2) = 4.209, p = .016) and lower environmental quality of life, a subscale of WHOQOL-BREF (F(2) = 5.034, p = .007). Circadien rhythm scores were significantly and negatively correlated with all domain of QoL scores and positively correlated with sleep quality index scores.
Conclusion: Migraine affects daytime functioning and environment’s quality of life perceived. Countermeasures related to improving daytime functions of adolescents with migraine could result in better quality of life perceived.
