This study suggests migraines may precede substance use, while substance use may lead to tension headaches. Headache prevalence is high among individuals in substance abuse treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Clinical reports indicate a link between alcohol/drug use and headaches.
  • The temporal relationship between substance use and headache onset requires systematic investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between psychoactive substance use and headaches.
  • To examine the temporal relationship between headache onset and psychoactive substance use.

Main Methods:

  • A self-report questionnaire was administered to 267 inpatients in a substance abuse treatment program.
  • Data from 236 respondents (89.7% response rate) were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Over 89% of respondents reported experiencing headaches.

  • Migraine onset preceded substance use; tension headache onset followed substance use.
  • Women reported higher rates of migraine headaches compared to men.

    • Conclusions:

    • Migraines might contribute to the development of substance use.
    • Substance use may contribute to the development of tension headaches.
