Abstract

Background

Despite the number of research studies regarding the individual burden of migraine, few studies have examined its impact on the patients’ partners. We aim to assess migraine effects on the patients’ partners on sentimental relationship, children relationship, friendship, and work, as well as the caregiver burden, anxiety and/or depression.

Methods

A cross-sectional observational study was conducted through an online survey of partners of patients with migraine followed-up in 5 Headache Units. Questions about the 4 areas of interest and 2 scales (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Zarit scale) were included. Scores were compared against the population prevalence.

Results

One hundred and fifty-five answers were analysed. Among the patient’s partners 135/155 (87.1%) were men, with a mean age of 45.6 ± 10.1 years. Migraine’s main effects on partners were observed in the sentimental relationship and items concerning children and friendships, with a minor impact at work. Partners showed a moderate burden (12/155 = 7.7% [4.1%–13.1%]), and a higher moderate-severe anxiety rate (23/155 = 14.8% [9.6%–21.4%]), and similar depression rate (5/155 = 3.2% [1.1%–7.3%]) compared to the National Health Survey.

Conclusions

The burden of migraine impacts the partners’ personal relationship, childcare, friendship and work. Moreover, certain migraine partners showed a moderate burden according to Zarit scale and higher anxiety levels than the Spanish population.

评估偏头痛对伴侣生活方式造成的负担

背景尽管有关偏头痛个人负担的研究很多，但很少有研究探讨偏头痛对患者伴侣的影响。我们旨在评估偏头痛对患者伴侣在感情关系、子女关系、友谊和工作方面的影响，以及对照顾者负担、焦虑和/或抑郁的影响。方法通过在线调查对5个头痛科室随访的偏头痛患者伴侣进行横断面观察研究。调查内容包括 4 个相关领域的问题和 2 个量表（医院焦虑抑郁量表和 Zarit 量表）。结果对 155 份答案进行了分析。在患者的伴侣中，135/155（87.1%）人为男性，平均年龄为 45.6 ± 10.1 岁。偏头痛对伴侣的主要影响体现在情感关系以及与子女和友谊有关的项目上，对工作的影响较小。与全国健康调查相比，偏头痛对伴侣造成的负担为中度（12/155 = 7.7% [4.1%-13.1%]），中度-重度焦虑率较高（23/155 = 14.8% [9.6%-21.4%]），抑郁率与全国健康调查相似（5/155 = 3.2% [1.1%-7.3%]）。此外，根据扎里特量表，某些偏头痛伴侣的负担较轻，焦虑程度高于西班牙人。
