Overview
The overall objective is to define the neuropsychological profile of patients with migraine and evaluate its association with: psychological outcome measures (anxiety-depressive symptoms, pain catastrophizing, excessive worry, and coping strategies); the clinical profile of migraine; the prodromal, ictal, or interictal phase of the migraine attack; pharmacological therapy; and detoxification treatment in patients with migraine associated with medication overuse headache.
Primary outcome measures
- Cognitive functioning [Time frame: 2 years]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
- Cognitive functions and psychological, clinical aspects [Time frame: 2 years]
- Cognitive functions and different pharmacological treatments [Time frame: 2 years]
- Cognitive functions and medication overuse headache [Time frame: 2 years]
- Cognitive functions in the different phases of migraine [Time frame: 2 years]
