Description
Summary:Aim: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between anxiety, depression, and pain catastrophizing in individuals with and without migraine.Method: Data of the study was collected using the socio-demographic data form, Beck Depression Scale (BDI), Beck Anxiety Scale (BAI), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).Results: Of the 183 patients, 80 were migraine patients and 103 were the control group. The BDI, BAI, and PCS scores were found to be higher in the migraine patients compared to the control group. The migraine patients were found to have "moderate" depression, "mild" anxiety, and "moderate" disability. There was a positive correlation between BDI, BAI, PCS, MIDAS, and VAS scores in the migraine patients. According to the total BDI and BAI scores of the migraine patients, the PCS total score and the PCS subscales "helplessness", " magnification", and "rumination" scores were higher in the patients with depression or anxiety. Conclusions: It was found that the migraine patients had "moderate" depression and "mild" anxiety, and their pain catastrophizing level increased with increasing depression and anxiety severity.
