: Migraine is a common primary headache disorder triggered by internal or external stimuli. Impulsitivity and anger are associated with many neurological and psychiatric disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the anger and impulsivity in migraine patients with or without aura.: A total of 55 patients aged between 18 and 55, who were diagnosed with episodic migraine (31 with aura and 24 without aura) and 40 healthy controls were enrolled in this prospective cross-sectional study.Migraine diagnosis and classification were based on criteria from the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (beta version). Multidimensional Anger Scale and Barratt Impulsivity Scale-11 were administered to the patient and control groups.:Migraine patients with aura, migraine patients without aura and control groups were compared, anger symptoms were significantly higher in migraine patients with aura (p < 0.001), but between these groups there was no significant difference in terms of impulsivity (p = 0.711).: It was found that anger symptoms were more common in migraine patients with aura compared to migraine patients without aura and control group, but in impulsitivity there was no difference between groups.Further studies in future investigating the relation between migraine with aura and anger may pave the way for different and more specified treatment approach.
偏头痛是一种由内部或外部刺激引发的常见原发性头痛疾病。冲动性和愤怒与许多神经和精神疾病有关。本研究的目的是调查有或无先兆偏头痛患者的愤怒和冲动性。
共有55名年龄在18至55岁之间、被诊断为发作性偏头痛的患者（31名有先兆，24名无先兆）和40名健康对照者纳入了这项前瞻性横断面研究。偏头痛的诊断和分类基于《国际头痛疾病分类》第3版（β版）的标准。对患者组和对照组进行了多维愤怒量表和巴雷特冲动性量表-11评估。
对有先兆偏头痛患者、无先兆偏头痛患者和对照组进行比较，有先兆偏头痛患者的愤怒症状显著更高（p < 0.001），但在冲动性方面，这些组之间没有显著差异（p = 0.711）。
研究发现，与无先兆偏头痛患者和对照组相比，有先兆偏头痛患者的愤怒症状更常见，但在冲动性方面，各组之间没有差异。未来进一步研究有先兆偏头痛与愤怒之间的关系可能为不同且更具体的治疗方法铺平道路。
