The relationship between mood change and migraine headache has often been reported anecdotally, but these observations have not been followed up empirically. In this study 17 migraine sufferers recorded headache occurrence and intensity using 10 mood indicators 3 times daily for periods ranging from 21 to 75 days. Headaches were correlated with mood states during the headache and for periods ranging from 12 to 36 h prior to the headache. Feelings of constraint and fatigue produced the highest correlations with headaches. The ability to predict migraine episodes from mood changes offers possibilities for controlling headaches and lessening their impact on patients' lives.
情绪变化与偏头痛之间的关系常有轶事报道，但这些观察结果尚未得到实证跟进。在本研究中，17名偏头痛患者使用10种情绪指标，每天记录3次头痛的发生情况和强度，记录期为21至75天。头痛与头痛期间以及头痛前12至36小时内的情绪状态相关。压抑感和疲劳感与头痛的相关性最高。根据情绪变化预测偏头痛发作的能力为控制头痛以及减轻其对患者生活的影响提供了可能。
