Migraine treatment significantly reduced neuroticism and schizophrenia traits in patients, but some personality characteristics persisted. Psychological interventions are recommended for comprehensive migraine management.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Medical Research

Background:

  • Investigating personality traits in migraineurs using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) has yielded varied results.
  • Understanding the impact of treatment on migraineurs' psychological profiles is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine how treatment interventions affect the personality traits of individuals with migraine.
  • To compare the psychological profiles of migraine patients before and after treatment with healthy controls.

Main Methods:

  • Administered the Chinese edition of the MMPI to 23 migraine patients (pre- and post-treatment) and 30 healthy controls.
  • Utilized statistical analyses to compare personality scores across the three groups.

Main Results:

  • Pretreatment migraine patients exhibited higher scores in neuroticism (hypochondriasis, depression, hysteria) and schizophrenia compared to controls.
  • Post-treatment, scores for hysteria, psychasthenia, and schizophrenia significantly decreased (P < .05).
  • While post-treatment profiles neared reference ranges, neurotic scale scores remained elevated (P < .01) compared to healthy individuals.

Conclusions:

  • Treatment effectively reduced psychological disturbances and anxiety symptoms in migraineurs.
  • Certain "migraine personality" traits persisted post-treatment, potentially impacting long-term outcomes.
  • Integrating psychological interventions into migraine management is advised for improved therapeutic results.
