ABSTRACT
Objective:
The aim of this study was to assess alcohol use problems in patients with migraine and tension-type headache.Method:
We evaluated 81 patients with migraine and 62 patients with tension-type headache. The identification of alcohol consumption problems was carried out with Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Alcohol use problem was defined as an AUDIT score of 8 or above. The headache impact was calculated with headache impact test (HIT-6).Results:
The proportions of alcohol use problem among patients with migraine and tension-type headache were 5.2% and 16.1%, respectively (P=0.044). The headache impact was significantly higher with migraine than with tension-type headache (P<0.0001). There was an inverse correlation between headache impact and AUDIT (P=0.043).Conclusions:
Our results suggest that migraine patients are less prone to alcohol use problems than tension-type headache patients. One of the possible reasons is that migraine is associated with greater impact than tension-type headache. .RESUMO
Objetivo:
Este estudo avaliou o consumo problemático de álcool em pacientes com migrânea e em pacientes com cefaleia do tipo tensional.Método:
Foram avaliados 81 pacientes com migrânea e 62 pacientes com cefaleia do tipo tensional. A avaliação do consumo de álcool foi realizada com o Teste para Identificação de Problemas Relacionados ao Uso de Álcool (AUDIT), sendo considerado consumo problemático quando o escore do AUDIT foi igual ou maior que 8. O impacto funcional da cefaleia foi avaliado pelo Teste de Impacto da Cefaleia (HIT-6).Resultados:
As proporções de desordens relacionadas ao álcool entre pacientes com migrânea e cefaleia do tipo tensional foram 5,2% e 16,1%, respectivamente (P=0,044). O impacto funcional foi significativamente maior na migrânea que na cefaleia do tipo tensional (P<0,0001). Houve significativa correlação entre comprometimento funcional da cefaleia e os escores do AUDIT (P=0,043).Conclusões:
Nossos resultados sugerem que pacientes com migrânea têm menor probabilidade de apresentar consumo problemático do álcool que pacientes com cefaleia do tipo tensional. Uma das possíveis explicações é que o impacto funcional da cefaleia é maior na migrânea que na cefaleia do tipo tensional. .
