Key clinical point: Contrary to common beliefs, neither anxiety nor depressive symptoms were associated with migraine-related outcomes in children and adolescents.
Major finding: Headache frequency and migraine-related disability had no significant association with anxiety (headache frequency P = .639; migraine-related disability P = .470) and depressive symptoms (headache frequency P = .209; migraine-related disability P = .796) at baseline. Similarly, no significant association was observed between longitudinal changes in anxiety and depressive symptoms and migraine-related outcomes.
Study details: Findings are from a prospective clinical cohort study including 123 children and adolescents with migraine who responded to a headache questionnaire and were assessed for anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Disclosures: This study was supported by the Program of Undergraduate Research Experience, University of Calgary, Canada, and others.
