To investigate potential differences in various aspects of personality in women with migraine with aura, without aura, and in healthy volunteers.
The following instruments were used to evaluate a sample of 35 women with migraine with aura, 35 women with migraine without aura, and 35 healthy women: Locus of Control and Competence Questionnaire, Health Locus of Control Questionnaire, Trait scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the depression scale by von Zerssen.
There were no significant differences in generalized locus of control beliefs among the 3 groups. Migraineurs with aura were found to score very low on the social locus of control scale. Statistically significant differences were found regarding anxiety in migraineurs with aura as opposed to migraineurs without aura and healthy control subjects. As for depression, migraineurs with aura were significantly more likely to indicate feelings of worthlessness and lack of self-confidence.
Our results suggest that migraineurs with aura differ from migraineurs without aura and healthy control subjects in terms of anxiety and depression. With regard to health-related locus of control, there was no correlation among mean number of migraine attacks per year, duration of disease, time of last migraine attack, and number of aura symptoms.
研究有先兆偏头痛女性、无先兆偏头痛女性及健康志愿者在人格各方面的潜在差异。
使用以下工具对35名有先兆偏头痛女性、35名无先兆偏头痛女性和35名健康女性进行评估：控制点与能力问卷、健康控制点问卷、状态-特质焦虑量表的特质量表以及冯·泽尔森抑郁量表。
三组之间在一般控制点信念方面无显著差异。发现有先兆偏头痛患者在社会控制点量表上得分极低。有先兆偏头痛患者与无先兆偏头痛患者及健康对照者在焦虑方面存在统计学显著差异。至于抑郁，有先兆偏头痛患者更有可能表现出无价值感和缺乏自信。
我们的结果表明，有先兆偏头痛患者在焦虑和抑郁方面与无先兆偏头痛患者及健康对照者不同。在与健康相关的控制点方面，每年偏头痛发作的平均次数、疾病持续时间、上次偏头痛发作时间和先兆症状数量之间没有相关性。
