Abstract
This study examined data from 63 adolescents with migraine (45 female) between the ages of 11 and 17 (mean age=14.4) to compare the relative impact of migraine severity, associated symptom severity, internalizing symptoms and catastrophizing on health-related quality of life (HRQL). Participants kept a 4-week diary about their headaches and completed 3 different quality of life scales, a psychological assessment scale and a catastrophizing questionnaire. A hierarchical regression analysis revealed that associated symptoms of migraine and internalizing symptoms predicted adolescent functioning. This is the first study of its kind designed specifically for adolescents with migraine. Its results suggest there is a need for further research exploring the impact of associated symptoms of migraine and internalizing on HRQL of adolescents.
