| Abstract |
Background: In this study, the quality of life of patients with chronic and episodic migraine was compared using quality of life assessments tools, which included the MIDAS (migraine disability assessment) questionnaire and MSQoL (migraine-specific quality of life) questionnaire.
Methods: The investigation occurred from November 2005 to April 2006 for patients who visited the neurology department of hospital in because of headache. The patients for the question investigation consisted of 34 patients with chronic migraine (CM) and 48 patients with episodic migraine (EM). The diagnosis of migraines was obtained by the migraine criteria of the International Headache Society (IHS).
Results: In the comparisons of the MIDAS score in patients with CM and EM, the second question (reduced effectiveness at work/school), the fourth question (reduced effectiveness in housework), total scores (28±19.7 versus 12.0±10.1, p<.01), and the question A were higher in CM patients (51.2±20.1 versus 15.5±13.1, p<.01). MIDAS grade of CM patients were also higher than EM patients. In MSQoL score comparisons of CM and EM patients, three parts of life qualities, which are role-function restrictive, role-function preventive, and emotional function due to headache, and total score (61.9±11.7 versus 73.7±13.9, p<.01) was less in CM patients than EM patients.
Conclusions: The study shows that life qualities of the patients with CM were significantly lower than of the patients with EM. KeyWords:Episodic migraine, Chronic migraine, Life quality, MIDAS, MSQoL |
