Objective To explore the personalistic characteristics of patients with migraine and medication-overuse headache (MOH), and to provide scientific evidence for mental treatment of these patients. Methods The subjects were divided into three groups:migraine group, MOH group, and health group.Patients with migraine or MOH, admitted to the Deyang People's Hospital from March 2012 to March 2014, were selected in this study.In addition, healthy volunteers were selected as controls at the same time.Data were collected through the Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory computer testing software, and differences of personalistic characteristics were compared among patients with migraine, MOH and controls. Results Patients with migraine and MOH had mental problems and the occurrence rate of psychological problems of MOH patients was significantly higher than that of migraine patients (χ2=6.055, P=0.014).Migraine patients showed higher scores of hypochondriasis, depression, hysteria, psychasthenia, hypomania than controls (P < 0.01).Compared with migraine patients, the scales of hypochondriasis, depression, hysteria, paranoia, schizophrenia were higher in MOH patients (P < 0.01). Conclusions Patients with migraine and MOH have personalistic and psychological problems.Early screening of personalistic characteristics and mental interventions may improve the clinical outcome of patients with migraine or MOH.
