High attack frequency is associated with sleep duration of ≤5 hours among migraineurs.
The ambivalent attachment seems to be the most common style among patients reporting high attack frequency and severe pain intensity and in children with this attachment style there is a relationship between high attack frequency and high anxiety levels [10].
Children with a high attack frequency and those who complained the highest intensity showed the tendency to inhibit anger expression.
The risk of developing white matter lesions is higher in female migraineurs and in patients with higher attack frequency and longer disease duration [4, 6].
In children, Kristjándóttir found that young headache sufferers with higher attack frequency were those who showed also higher anger levels [20].
In MO patients, a higher attack frequency and longer disease duration have been called upon to explain the development of WMHs [4, 65, 67, 68].
Fourth, the cross-sectional nature of this study prevented us from drawing conclusions about causality in the relationship between interictal WPH and high attack frequency.
Patients with chronic migraine were more likely to have a lower education level, higher attack frequency, higher pain intensity, and higher frequency of cephalic allodynia, than those with episodic migraine.
Patients with CM had a lower level of education (p = 0.002), higher attack frequency (p < 0.001), higher VASnow score (p < 0.001), and higher frequency of cephalic allodynia (p = 0.03), than those with EM.
Patients with CM were more likely to have a low education level, a high attack frequency, a large pain intensity, and a high frequency of cephalic allodynia than those with EM.
