Temporal and digital pulse amplitudes, forehead temperature, heart rate, respiration rate and electrodermal activity of 37 migraine patients and 37 matched controls from a population of psychology students were recorded during three experimental sessions: adaptation, real-life stress (an examination) and experimental stress (an IQ test). Migraine sufferers showed significantly smaller pulse amplitudes of the temporal artery during the examination than the control group. No group differences were present in the other physiological measures. The findings are interpreted as indirect evidence for the symptom specificity hypothesis, which states that individuals with specific psychosomatic complaints display abnormal responses to stress in the relevant physiological system.
在三个实验阶段记录了37名偏头痛患者和37名来自心理学专业学生群体的匹配对照组的颞动脉和指动脉脉搏振幅、额头温度、心率、呼吸频率以及皮肤电活动：适应阶段、现实生活压力（一场考试）和实验压力（一次智商测试）。偏头痛患者在考试期间颞动脉的脉搏振幅明显小于对照组。在其他生理指标上没有组间差异。这些发现被解释为症状特异性假说的间接证据，该假说认为，患有特定身心疾病的个体在相关生理系统中对压力表现出异常反应。
