Clinical observations of a relationship between unpleasant dreams and migraine headaches have been reported previously.
Due to the anecdotal quality of these case reports, this study empirically investigated the significance of this relationship. Dream content categories were selected corresponding to emotional factors associated with stress that trigger migraine headaches. A total of 37 migraineurs recorded 10 dreams each, 5 that preceded migraines and 5 that did not.
Univariate F tests revealed that 4 of the 5 variables contributed significantly to the overall effect, specifically anger, misfortune, apprehension, and aggressive interactions.
Recommendations include discussing the predictive value of dreams with regard to nocturnal migraine attacks, and therapeutic implications are suggested.
先前已有关于不愉快梦境与偏头痛之间关系的临床观察报告。
鉴于这些病例报告的轶事性质,本研究通过实证调查了这种关系的重要性。选择了与引发偏头痛的压力相关的情绪因素相对应的梦境内容类别。共有37名偏头痛患者每人记录10个梦境,其中5个在偏头痛发作前出现,5个在偏头痛未发作时出现。
单因素F检验显示,5个变量中的4个对总体效应有显著贡献,具体为愤怒、不幸、担忧和攻击性互动。
建议包括讨论梦境对夜间偏头痛发作的预测价值,并提出了治疗意义。
