Περίληψη:
Primary headache syndromes' development is associated with biological,
psychological and social parameters. Factors such as daily habits,
behavioral characteristics and sleep disorders also play an important
role. We aim to identify the variables which affect the above factors.
The study included 111 patients affected by primary headache. The
patients were stratified into subgroups according to gender, age,
occupation and headache type. Women attained higher scores than men in
three of the evaluation rating scales and lower scores in the severity
of dependence scale. Occupation was associated with SF36 and Hamilton
anxiety scale. Unemployed had higher scores in Hamilton anxiety.
Migraineurs and occupied individuals have lower SF36 scores. Women are
associated with depression, anxiety and higher disability derived from
headache. Men are more prone to dependence on opioids. Unemployment was
linked with anxiety and well-being. The migraneurs presented a decreased
level of quality of life.
