Investigation of the Relationship between Headache and Anxiety during the Late COVID-19 Pandemic Period: A Prospective Case-Control Study
Öz: Objective: The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on both the physical and psychological well-being of individuals have not yet been clearly understood. Especially during the early period of the pandemic, the most prevalent psychological effects included fear, preoccupation with health, anxiety, and feeling of loneliness caused by a general sense of uncertainty. The incidence of headache was as high as 70% among the mild COVID-19 cases. Findings from the past coronavirus outbreaks indicated that neuropsychiatric symptoms might cause a significant health burden and adversely affect the patients’ quality of life. The present study aimed to investigate the anxiety-related clinical conditions of the patients diagnosed with primary headache, who presented to the neurology polyclinic during the prolonged pandemic period. Methods: The research was designed as a two-center, prospective case-control study. Patients diagnosed with primary headache, who presented to the neurology outpatient clinic, and healthy volunteers without a primary headache diagnosis were included in the study. Data collection tools included the sociodemographic data form, Headache Impact Test, Coronavirus Anxiety Scale Short Form, and COVID-19 Disease Perception Scale. Results: Data collected from a total of 869 participants, including 408 (47%) patients diagnosed with headache and 461 (53%) healthy volunteers, were investigated. The results of the Headache Impact Test-6 suggested a severe effect on quality of life in 187 participants (45.8%) in the headache group and 73 participants (15.8%) in the Control Group (p=0.001). There was coronavirus anxiety in 59 (14.5%) participants with headache and 8 (1.7%) participants in the Control Group (p=0.001). Furthermore, the rate of coronavirus anxiety in participants that had and did not have COVID-19 was 44 (13.7%) and 22 (4.1%), respectively (p=0.001). Conclusion: The study results revealed that patients with headache and COVID-19 presented with a higher rate of coronavirus anxiety than healthy controls and those not diagnosed with COVID-19. Further studies on larger samples are necessary for investigating the long term neuropsychiatric effects of COVID-19 in individuals.
Anahtar Kelime: Geç Dönem COVID – 19 Pandemisinde Baş Ağrısı ile Anksiyete İlişkisinin İncelenmesi: Prospektif Vaka-Kontrol Çalışması
Öz: Amaç: Covid-19 pandemisi, bireylerin hem fiziksel hem de psikolojik sağlığını üzerine etkileri halen net olarak bilinmemektedir. Salgının özellikle ilk dönemlerinde belirsizliğin getirdiği korku, sağlık kaygısı, endişe ve yalnızlık hissi bu dönemin en sık görülen ruhsal etkileri arasında yer almıştır. Hafif seyirli COVID-19 olgularında baş ağrısı sıklığı %70 gibi yüksek oranda bulunmuştur. Geçmiş koronavirüs salgınlarından elde edilen bulgular, nöropsikiyatrik semptomların önemli oranda sağlık yüküne sebep olduğu ve bireylerin yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkilediğini göstermiştir. Bu araştırmada, uzamış pandemi döneminde nöroloji polikliniğine başvuran primer baş ağrısı tanısı bulunan hastaların anksiyete ile ilişkili klinik özelliklerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Araştırma iki merkezli, prospektif vaka-kontrol çalışması olarak planlanmıştır. Nöroloji Polikliniği’ ne başvuran primer baş ağrısı tanısı olan hastalar ve primer baş ağrısı tanısı olmayan sağlıklı gönüllüler dahil edildi. Katılımcılara sosyodemografik veri formu, Baş Ağrısı Etki Testi-6, Koronavirüs Anksiyete Ölçeği Kısa Formu ve COVID-19 Hastalık Algısı Ölçeği uygulandı. Bulgular: Değerlendirmeye alınan hastaların 408’ i (%47) baş ağrısı tanılı, 461’ i (%53) ise sağlıklı gönüllü grubu olmak üzere toplam 869 katılımcının verileri incelendi. Baş ağrısı grubunda bulunan 187 katılımcıda (%45,8), kontrol grubunda ise 73 katılımcıda (%15,8) Baş ağrısı Etki Test-6’ya göre yaşam kalitesinde şiddetli etki görüldü (p=0.001). Baş ağrısı bulunan 59 (%14,5) katılımcıda, kontrol grubunda ise 8 katılımcıda (%1,7) koronavirüs anksiyetesi mevcuttur (p=0.001). Ayrıca COVID 19 geçiren grupta 44 (%13,7) katılımcıda, COVID geçirmeyen grupta ise 22 katılımcıda (%4,1) koronavirüs anksiyetesi tespit edildi (p=0.001). Sonuç: Baş ağrısı bulunan ve COVID-19 geçiren hastaların, sağlıklı kontrollere ve COVID geçirmeyenlere göre daha yüksek oranda koronavirüs anksiyetesinin bulunduğu tesbit edilmiştir. COVID-19’ un uzun vadede bireylerde oluşturabileceği nöropsikiyatrik etkilerin araştırılması adına bu konuda daha geniş örneklemlerle yapılmış ileri düzey çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
