Migraine patients showed higher impulsivity, a facet of novelty-seeking, compared to controls. This suggests a potential link between migraine, personality traits, and somatic anxiety.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Migraine is a complex neurological disorder.
  • Personality traits may influence migraine susceptibility.
  • Previous research has explored links between personality and headache disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate personality profiles in adult migraine patients from a large Swedish family.
  • To compare temperament and character dimensions between migraine patients and controls using Cloninger's model.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) to assess personality.
  • Diagnosed migraine using a modified International Headache Society questionnaire.
  • Compared TCI dimensions between 26 migraine patients and 87 controls.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in overall temperament or character dimensions were found.
  • Migraine patients exhibited higher averages in NS2 (impulsivity) and NS1 (exploratory excitability) subscales.
  • A tendency towards a specific personality profile was observed in migraineurs, potentially linking to somatic anxiety.

Conclusions:

  • Migraine patients may exhibit increased impulsivity.
  • The findings suggest a potential association between migraine, personality traits (specifically impulsivity), and somatic anxiety.
  • Further research is warranted to explore this personality-migraine-anxiety connection.
