Migraine is associated with a variety of personality traits. The objective of this study was to reevaluate the personality traits using Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) in migraine patients diagnosed by applying the new International Classification of Headache Disorders-2 criteria.
This was a case control study involving 70 migraine patients and 70 age- and gender-matched controls. The personality traits in the two groups were analysed using the MMPI. Data was analysed using the chi-square test.
The migraine patients showed a higher MMPI score on the following personality traits: depression (39 versus 15, p-value is less than 0.0005), and anxiety (24 versus 11, p-value equals 0.011). Both depressive and anxiety personality traits were significantly higher in migraine patients.
All migraine patients should probably be screened for their personality traits and psychopathology using the MMPI.
偏头痛与多种人格特质相关。本研究的目的是使用明尼苏达多相人格调查表-2(MMPI-2)对采用新的《国际头痛疾病分类-2》标准诊断的偏头痛患者的人格特质进行重新评估。
这是一项病例对照研究,涉及70名偏头痛患者和70名年龄及性别匹配的对照者。使用MMPI分析两组的人格特质。数据采用卡方检验进行分析。
偏头痛患者在以下人格特质上的MMPI得分较高:抑郁(39比15,p值小于0.0005)和焦虑(24比11,p值等于0.011)。偏头痛患者的抑郁和焦虑人格特质均显著更高。
所有偏头痛患者可能都应使用MMPI对其人格特质和精神病理学进行筛查。
