Resumen
La migraña es un desorden crónico del sistema nervioso, caracterizado por la aparición de episodios, típicos, recurrentes, de dolor de cabeza, los cuales usualmente se asocian a náusea, vómito, fotofobia, sonofobia, entre otras molestias; en este sentido el objetivo de la presente investigación fue analizar la asociación entre los síntomas depresivos y el uso de analgésicos en pacientes con migraña atendidos en la Consulta Externa del Hospital General Pablo Arturo Suárez durante el año 2019, mediante un estudio observacional, descriptivo y retrospectivo.
Se estudiaron 108 pacientes (22 hombres y 86 mujeres), con una edad promedio de 42 años, siendo el mayor número de diagnósticos el de migraña no especificada con un total de 71 casos, presentándose síntomas depresivos en el 68% de la población de estudio.
En conclusión, se determinó que los principales síntomas depresivos, encontrados en pacientes con migraña, en orden de frecuencia fueron: tristeza, insomnio, ansiedad; de la población objeto de estudio el 67% abusan de medicamentos y el 69% tienden a automedicarse; evidenciándose una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre “síntomas depresivos” y “abuso de analgésicos”. Así también, se demostró la relación entre los síntomas depresivos con las variables: edad, sexo, nacionalidad, tipo de migraña y tipo de tratamiento, siendo estas estadísticamente significativas con un valor de p menor a 0,005.
Migraine is a chronic disorder of the nervous system, characterized by the appearance of typical, recurrent episodes of headache, which are usually associated with nausea, vomiting, photophobia, sonophobia, among other discomforts; In this sense, the objective of this research was to analyze the association between depressive symptoms and the use of analgesics in patients with migraine treated in the Outpatient Clinic of the Pablo Arturo Suárez General Hospital during 2019, through an observational, descriptive and retrospective study . 108 patients were studied (22 men and 86 women), with an average age of 42 years, with the highest number of diagnoses being unspecified migraine with a total of 71 cases, presenting depressive symptoms in 68% of the study population. In conclusion, it was determined that the main depressive symptoms, found in patients with migraine, in order of frequency were: sadness, insomnia, anxiety; of the population under study, 67% abuse drugs and 69% tend to self-medicate; evidencing a statistically significant association between "depressive symptoms" and "analgesic abuse". Likewise, the relationship between depressive symptoms with the variables: age, sex, nationality, type of migraine and type of treatment was demonstrated, these being statistically significant with a p value less than 0.005.
