Abstract

Background: Migraine is a disabling primary headache disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of headache. Migraine not only imposes a burden on the sufferer but also imposes a burden on their family members too. A holistic approach is more essential in the management of migraine and family members should also be included in the management of migraine. There are no published studies done in India so far to look for the impact of migraine on partners and adolescent children (IMPAC). This pilot study was done to assess the IMPAC.

Objective: The objective of the study was to study the IMPAC.

Materials and methods: In this descriptive study, 130 chronic migraine patients were observed in a row during 9 months. The impact of migraine on family members as well as migraine disability and Migraine-specific Quality of Life (MSQoL) was evaluated using validated questionnaires.

Results: One hundred and thirty chronic migraine patients were studied as part of this study. The mean age of the study population was 34.43 ± 9.002 years, and two-third of the participants were female. The majority of the participants had a moderate-to-severe disability due to migraine and had negatively impacted their MSQoL. The impact of migraine on family members was moderate-to-severe grade in most of the participants and affected their family life negatively both with children and spouses. The males were more significantly affected than females in terms of MSQoL, anxiety, depression, and also on migraine's impact on family members.

Conclusion: Migraine not only affects the sufferers, it also significantly affects their family members.

偏头痛对家庭成员的影响--印度南部地区横断面研究。

背景：偏头痛是一种致残性原发性头痛疾病，其特点是反复发作的头痛。偏头痛不仅给患者带来负担，也给其家人带来负担。在偏头痛的治疗过程中，整体治疗方法更为重要，家庭成员也应参与偏头痛的治疗。迄今为止，印度尚未就偏头痛对伴侣和青少年儿童（IMPAC）的影响进行过公开研究。这项试点研究就是为了评估偏头痛对伴侣和青少年儿童的影响：本研究的目的是研究偏头痛对伴侣和青少年儿童的影响：在这项描述性研究中，对 130 名慢性偏头痛患者进行了为期 9 个月的连续观察。使用经过验证的问卷评估偏头痛对家庭成员的影响以及偏头痛残疾和偏头痛特定生活质量（MSQoL）：本研究共调查了 130 名慢性偏头痛患者。研究对象的平均年龄为（34.43 ± 9.002）岁，三分之二为女性。大多数参与者因偏头痛导致中度至重度残疾，并对其MSQoL产生了负面影响。大多数参与者的偏头痛对家庭成员的影响为中度至重度，对他们与子女和配偶的家庭生活都造成了负面影响。在MSQoL、焦虑、抑郁以及偏头痛对家庭成员的影响方面，男性比女性受到的影响更大：偏头痛不仅影响患者，对其家庭成员也有很大影响。
