Abstract
Objective: To determine factors related to anxiety disorders in patients with migraine headaches treated as outpatients at Military Hospital 103. Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted on 176 patients with migraine headaches who visited the Neurology Clinic of Military Hospital 103 from March 2024 to January 2025. These patients were interviewed using a unified questionnaire and anxiety disorders were assessed using the DASS 21 scale. Results: 43.2% of patients had anxiety disorders (DASS 21 ≥ 8). The average DASS 21 score was 6.86±3.84. Age over 30 (p = 0.039), female gender (p = 0.009), headache duration > 24 hours (p < 0.001), disease duration > 1 year (p < 0.001) and number of pain attacks/month > 5 (p = 0.027), sleep disorder (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Nearly half of Migraine patients have anxiety disorders, indicating the severity of anxiety disorders in Migraine patients visiting Military Hospital 103. There are many factors related to anxiety disorders in Migraine patients such as age, gender, headache duration, disease duration, number of headache days/month and sleep disorder
