Quality of Life Assessment in Primary Headache Patients with Headaches Related to Abuse Using Scales and Questionnaires
This study, conducted between 2022 and 2024 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, assessed 100 patients with abuse headaches (AH), split into two groups: those with migraine-induced AH and those with tension-type headache (TTH)-induced AH. Using standardized tools such as the VASH scale, HALT-90 index, LDQ scale...

| description | This study, conducted between 2022 and 2024 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, assessed 100 patients with abuse headaches (AH), split into two groups: those with migraine-induced AH and those with tension-type headache (TTH)-induced AH. Using standardized tools such as the VASH scale, HALT-90 index, LDQ scale, and McGill Pain Questionnaire, the study measured pain intensity, drug dependence, and functional impairment. Results revealed that migraine-induced AH caused more severe pain (VASH: 8.6±1.47) and greater productivity loss (HALT-90: 23.35±14.82) compared to TTH-induced AH. Women, especially of working age, were predominantly affected. Both groups showed moderate drug dependence, with higher levels in TTH patients. These findings highlight the need for integrated pain management strategies to reduce medication overuse and improve patient quality of life. Future research should explore lifestyle and psychosocial factors, with long-term studies needed to evaluate alternative treatment approaches for both migraine- and TTH-induced AH. |
