Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Our outcome parameter is negative mood.
Secondary outcome
Our secondary outcome parameter is positive mood.
Background summary
Many patients with chronic migraine (CM) experience co-morbid mood problems
(e.g. anxiety, depression, anger). The presence of negative mood can worsen
migraine symptoms, impair quality of life and complicate treatment. Therefore,
negative mood is a potential modifiable risk factor that should be addressed in
the treatment of CM. However, insight into the psychological mechanisms that
are responsible for the maintenance and exacerbation of negative mood in
patients with CM is currently lacking.
Study objective
The current study will examine psychological predictors of fluctuations in mood
in the daily life of patients with CM. First, we will examine the role of
within-subjects factors (headache, goal disturbance, rumination) in explaining
daily variability in mood within individuals. Second, we will examine the role
of more stable factors (history of depression, acceptance, mindfulness, goal
adjustment tendency) in explaining differences between individuals in negative
mood.
Study design
This study employs a longitudinal observational design. The study includes a
baseline assessment using self-report questionnaires. Furthermore, we will use
the Experience Sampling Method to sample mood as well as several contextual and
cognitive factors at 10 semi-random moments of the day for a period of 7
consecutive days.
Study burden and risks
There are no risks associated with participation in this study. The burden for
participants consists of: 1) filling out a baseline questionnaire (30 minutes),
2) attending a briefing interview (60 minutes), 3) completing diaries for 7
consecutive days (beep diary: 10-15 min./day, evening diary: max. 1 min./day),
4) a telefonic debriefing interview (30 minutes).
