ABSTRACT
Background: Migraine attacks have a high impact on daily activities. There is limited research on the burden of migraine on sexual functioning. Objective: To determine the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in patients with migraine and its relationship with migraine features and comorbidities. Method: This is a cross-sectional study. We included migraine patients between 18 and 60 years-old from 8 Headache Clinics in Spain. We recorded demographic data and migraine features. Patients fulfilled a survey including comorbidities, Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and a questionnaire about migraine impact on sexual activity. A K-nearest neighbor supervised learning algorithm was used to identify differences between migraine patients with and without sexual dysfunction. Results: We included 306 patients (85.6% women, mean age 42.3 ±11.1 years). A 41.8% of participants had sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction was associated with being female (OR [95% CI]: 2.42 [1.17–5.00]; p < 0.001), being older than 46.5 years (4.04 [2.48–6.59]; p < 0.001), having chronic migraine (2.31 [1.41–3.77]; p = 0.001), using preventive medication (2.45 [1.35–4.45]; p = 0.004), analgesic overusing (3.51 [2.03–6.07]; p < 0.001), menopause (4.18 [2.43–7.17]; p < 0.001) and anxiety (2.90 [1.80–4.67]; p < 0.001) and depression (6.14 [3.18–11.83]; p < 0.001). However, only female gender, age, menopause and depression were the statistically significant variables selected in the model to classify migraine patients with or without sexual dysfunction (Accuracy [95% CI]: 0.75 (0.62–0.85), Kappa: 0.48, p = 0.005). Conclusions: Sexual dysfunction is frequent in migraine patients visited in a headache clinic. However, migraine characteristics or use of preventive medication are not directly associated with sexual dysfunction. Instead, risk factors for sexual dysfunction were female gender, higher age, menopause and depression.(AU)
RESUMEN
Antecedentes: La migraña tiene un alto impacto en las actividades diarias, pero los datos sobre el impacto de la migraña en el funcionamiento sexual son limitados. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de disfunción sexual en pacientes con migraña y su relación con las características y comorbilidades de la migraña. Métodos: Este es un estudio transversal. Se incluyeron pacientes con migraña de entre 18 y 60 años de ocho consultas de cefalea en España. Registramos datos demográficos y características de migraña. Los pacientes completaron una encuesta que incluía comorbilidades, la Escala de Experiencias Sexuales de Arizona, la Escala de Ansiedad y Depresión Hospitalaria y un cuestionario sobre el impacto de la migraña en la actividad sexual. Se usó un algoritmo de aprendizaje supervisado (k-nearest neighbors) para identificar diferencias entre pacientes con migraña, con y sin disfunción sexual. Resultados: Se incluyeron 306 pacientes (85,6% mujeres, edad media 42,3 ± 11,1 años). El 41,8% de los participantes tenía disfunción sexual. La disfunción sexual se asoció con ser mujer (OR [95%]: 2,42 [1,17-5,00]; p < 0,001), tener más de 46,5 años (4,04 [2,48-6,59]; p < 0,001), tener migraña crónica (2,31 [1,41-3,77]; p = 0,001), uso de medicación preventiva (2,45 [1,35-4.45]; p = 0,004), uso excesivo de analgésicos (3,51 [2,03-6,07]; p < 0,001), menopausia (4,18 [2,43-7,17]; p < 0,001), ansiedad (2,90 [1,80-4,67]; p < 0,001) y depresión (6,14 [3,18-11,83]; p < 0,001). Sin embargo, solo el sexo femenino, la edad, la menopausia y la depresión fueron las variables estadísticamente significativas seleccionadas en el modelo para clasificar a los pacientes con migraña, con o sin disfunción sexual (precisión [IC 95%]: 0,75 (0,62-0,85), kappa: 0,48, p = 0,005). Conclusiones: La disfunción sexual es frecuente en pacientes con migraña que son visitados en una consulta de cefalea.(AU)
