Migrende kişilik özelliklerinin yeti yitimi ve aura durumu ile ilişkisi: bir ön çalışma (The relationship of personality traits with disability and aura status in migraine: a preliminary study)

ASSOCIATIONS OF PERSONALITY TRAITS WITH DISABILITY AND AURA STATUS IN MIGRAINE: A PRELIMINARY STUDY

As migraine-related disability increases, scores for Psychoticism and certain maladaptive personality facets rise, while patients with aura score higher on Psychoticism and Unusual Beliefs and Experiences.

The study aimed to examine the relationship of maladaptive personality traits with migraine-related disability and aura status. The sample consisted of 45 adults who met the International Headache Society (IHS) diagnostic criteria: 8 men (17.8%; mean age 33.6, standard deviation 2.65) and 37 women (82.2%; mean age 42.2, standard deviation 2.08) were assessed. The assessment instruments were the Migraine Screening Questionnaire (MS-Q), the Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS), and the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5); Spearman correlation and the Mann–Whitney U test were used in the analysis. Higher MIDAS scores were associated with higher Psychoticism scores (rs = 0.336, p = 0.024, r2 = 0.113). Disability was also associated with Perceptual Dysregulation (rs = 0.416, p = 0.005, r2 = 0.173), Unusual Beliefs and Experiences (rs = 0.347, p = 0.019, r2 = 0.120), and Risk Taking (rs = 0.307, p = 0.040, r2 = 0.094), while no significant associations were found for the other PID-5 domains and facets. Patients with migraine with aura (n = 20) had higher Psychoticism scores (U = 156, p = 0.036, rrb = 0.370; medium effect size) and higher Unusual Beliefs and Experiences scores (U = 140, p = 0.013, rrb = 0.433; medium effect size) than those without aura (n = 25). The authors note that these preliminary findings support a multidimensional perspective in which personality-related traits may complement neurological characteristics in explaining interindividual variability in the burden of migraine, and that the findings need to be replicated in larger samples.
