Migraine Patients Experience Poorer Subjective Well-Being/Quality of Life Even Between Attacks
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare the general well-being of migraine patients between attacks with that of an age- and sex-matched control group. One hundred and forty-five consecutive and eligible patients at the Gothenburg Migraine Clinic were asked about their well-being and their complaints. Using three self-administered standardized questionnaires, the Minor Symptoms Evaluation Profile (MSEP), Subjective Symptoms Assessment Profile (SSAP) and the Psychological General Well-Being (PGWB) Index, evaluable responses were obtained from 138 migraine patients. Compared with control subjects, migraineurs perceived more symptoms and greater emotional distress as well as disturbed contentment, vitality and sleep. It is concluded that the general well-being of the migraine patient is impaired, even between the attacks.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
