Migraine is a disabling primary headache disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of headache. Migraine not only imposes a burden on the sufferer but also imposes a burden on their family members too. A holistic approach is more essential in the management of migraine and family members should also be included in the management of migraine. There are no published studies done in India so far to look for the impact of migraine on partners and adolescent children (IMPAC). This pilot study was done to assess the IMPAC.
The objective of the study was to study the IMPAC.
In this descriptive study, 130 chronic migraine patients were observed in a row during 9 months. The impact of migraine on family members as well as migraine disability and Migraine-specific Quality of Life (MSQoL) was evaluated using validated questionnaires.
One hundred and thirty chronic migraine patients were studied as part of this study. The mean age of the study population was 34.43 ± 9.002 years, and two-third of the participants were female. The majority of the participants had a moderate-to-severe disability due to migraine and had negatively impacted their MSQoL. The impact of migraine on family members was moderate-to-severe grade in most of the participants and affected their family life negatively both with children and spouses. The males were more significantly affected than females in terms of MSQoL, anxiety, depression, and also on migraine's impact on family members.
Migraine not only affects the sufferers, it also significantly affects their family members.
偏头痛是一种反复发作性头痛的致残性原发性头痛疾病。偏头痛不仅给患者带来负担，也给其家庭成员带来负担。在偏头痛的管理中，整体方法更为重要，家庭成员也应包括在偏头痛的管理中。目前，印度尚未开展任何研究来评估偏头痛对伴侣和青少年子女的影响（IMPAC）。本研究旨在评估偏头痛对伴侣和青少年子女的影响（IMPAC）。
本研究的目的是评估偏头痛对伴侣和青少年子女的影响（IMPAC）。
在这项描述性研究中，连续观察了 9 个月的 130 例慢性偏头痛患者。采用经过验证的问卷评估偏头痛对家庭成员的影响、偏头痛残疾和偏头痛特异性生活质量（MSQoL）。
本研究共纳入 130 例慢性偏头痛患者。研究人群的平均年龄为 34.43 ± 9.002 岁，其中三分之二的参与者为女性。大多数参与者因偏头痛而出现中重度残疾，并对其 MSQoL 产生负面影响。偏头痛对大多数参与者的家庭成员产生中度至重度影响，对他们的家庭生活造成负面影响，无论是与子女还是与配偶。在 MSQoL、焦虑、抑郁以及偏头痛对家庭成员的影响方面，男性比女性受到的影响更为显著。
偏头痛不仅影响患者，还对其家庭成员产生显著影响。
