A group of chronic headache sufferers (migraine and tension-type headache) was compared with two individually matched control groups of nonheadache subjects in terms of life event stress, and the stress moderating factors of coping skills and social support. The headache group did not differ from the control groups on the measures of life event stress or coping but significant differences arose on the measure of social support with the headache group achieving lower scores than the control groups. The findings were interpreted as suggesting that clinicians and researchers should pay more attention to social aspects of headaches, and that interventions aimed at teaching headache sufferers to mobilize social support should be considered as components of treatment packages.
一组慢性头痛患者（偏头痛和紧张型头痛患者）在生活事件压力、应对技巧和社会支持等压力调节因素方面，与两组分别匹配的无头痛对照组进行了比较。头痛组在生活事件压力或应对措施方面与对照组没有差异，但在社会支持措施方面出现了显著差异，头痛组的得分低于对照组。研究结果表明，临床医生和研究人员应更多地关注头痛的社会方面，并且应将旨在教导头痛患者调动社会支持的干预措施视为治疗方案的组成部分。
