Episodic tension-type headache sufferers report higher anxiety, depression, and anger. Specifically, they exhibit greater suppressed anger compared to headache-free individuals, supporting psychosomatic theories.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Neurology
  • Psychosomatic Medicine

Background:

  • Tension-type headache (TTH) is a prevalent condition with complex etiology.
  • Psychosomatic theories suggest emotional factors play a role in TTH development and maintenance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the psychological profiles of individuals with episodic tension-type headache (TTH).
  • To compare emotional and anger expression patterns between TTH sufferers and healthy controls.

Main Methods:

  • Standardized psychometric tests were administered to 47 episodic TTH patients and 47 headache-free controls.
  • Assessment included measures of anxiety, depression, anger/hostility, expressed anger, and suppressed anger.

Main Results:

  • TTH subjects exhibited significantly higher levels of anxiety, depression, and anger/hostility than controls.
  • No significant difference was found in expressed anger.
  • Headache sufferers demonstrated significantly greater levels of suppressed anger.

Conclusions:

  • Objective data support the link between psychological distress, particularly suppressed anger, and episodic TTH.
  • Findings align with psychosomatic models positing emotional factors in headache disorders.
