Abstract
O071. The association between meteoropathy, depression, hopelessness and quality of life in medication-overuse headache patients.
Highlights
Medication-overuse headache (MOH) is one of the most common forms of chronic daily headache (CDH) [1], with a prevalence in the adult general population of 1%-2% [2]
The METEO-Q was significantly associated with any dimensions of the Q-LES-Q when controlling for the presence of other variables
Our data seem to confirm that patients with MOH are prone to experiment the high levels of meteoropathy both in quality and in intensity, confirming that MOH has a negative impact on quality of life
Summary
Medication-overuse headache (MOH) is one of the most common forms of chronic daily headache (CDH) [1], with a prevalence in the adult general population of 1%-2% [2]. MOH is often comorbid with emotional disturbances and disordered personality traits. The aim of the present study was to determine whether depression, hopelessness and quality of life were associated with meteoropathy in MOH patients. The most frequent symptom of meteoropathy is the exacerbation of acute or chronic forms of pain in many parts of the body, in and of itself inflamed and/or degenerated
