Mental health and quality of life of migraine patients

Sudden self-isolation and social reorganization were significant factors in the increase of psychological suffering during the Covid-19 pandemic (CONSONNI et al., 2021). In this context, people with migraine have had to modify their treatment management by rescheduling, postponing and canceling appointments, missing psychotherapy sessions and other changes caused by the urgency of the lockdown. The aim of the study was to verify the subjective evaluation of the negative impacts of the pandemic and measures of quality of life, anxiety, depression and disability in patients with migraine, whether chronic or episodic, when compared to a control group.
