Abstract

Objectives: To explore depression and its associated factors in a sample of primary headache patients with a history of head-neck trauma (Ph-nT). Methods: A cross-sectional study of 120 conveniently sampled patients at Al Madinah Al Munawarah hospitals, Saudi Arabia during the period of June 2019 to December 2019 with Primary headache and history of head-neck trauma completed the depression subscale of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), and a structured tool for demographics and clinical characteristics. Results: Prevalence of moderate to extremely severe levels of depression was 15.8%. The majority of Ph-nT were female (64.2%), had migraine (with/without aura) (57.5%), recorded no sports-related activities (65.8%), and complained of insufficient sleep (67.5%). Primary headache patients with a history of head-neck trauma, and a family history of migraine/chronic headache, had higher depression scores (β=1.77, p=0.02). Conclusion: Prevalence of depressive symptoms is higher in a sample of primary headache patients with a history of head-neck trauma than in the population that did not experience that trauma. Identification of predictors of depression in primary headache patients with a history of head-neck trauma may help in evolving targeted prevention and screening programs.

有头颈外伤史的原发性头痛患者抑郁症状的患病率及其相关性

目的:探讨有头颈外伤(Ph-nT)史的原发性头痛患者抑郁及其相关因素。方法:对2019年6月至2019年12月在沙特阿拉伯Al Madinah Al Munawarah医院方便抽样的120例原发性头痛和头颈部创伤史患者进行横断面研究，完成抑郁、焦虑和压力量表-21 (das -21)的抑郁亚量表，并使用人口统计学和临床特征的结构化工具。结果:中度至极重度抑郁症患病率为15.8%。大多数Ph-nT是女性(64.2%)，有偏头痛(有/没有先兆)(57.5%)，没有记录与运动相关的活动(65.8%)，抱怨睡眠不足(67.5%)。有头颈外伤史和偏头痛/慢性头痛家族史的原发性头痛患者抑郁评分较高(β=1.77, p=0.02)。结论:有头颈外伤史的原发性头痛患者抑郁症状的患病率高于没有头颈外伤史的人群。确定头颈部创伤史的原发性头痛患者抑郁的预测因素可能有助于制定有针对性的预防和筛查方案。
