Regarding specifically the clinical group, pain frequency (PF) was predicted by the variables anxiety and ALEX1.
Visual analog scale (VAS) and pain frequency (PF) were used for evaluation.
It also depicts those variables predicting pain frequency (in days) in the last three months (PF) for the clinical group.
For this study, those patients who still had a pain frequency ≥15 days per month at 6 months were labeled long-term chronic migraneurs (LTCM).
Fig. 2 Reduction in pain frequency and drug consumption during the entire trial period in the Group 2 intention-to-treat population.
No significant correlation was found between the presence of MOH and age of onset, sex, age at first contact, headache type, pain frequency and severity.
Pain frequency in the last three months (PF) was significantly correlated to depression, anxiety and total quality of life and in the physical, psychological and social domains.
The majority of 7- to 11-year olds can themselves report pain frequency and intensity, but may need an adult to aide for the registration of other symptoms.
In addition, Di Nardo et al. found that in children with IBS, the mast cell number in ileocolonic biopsies correlated with both abdominal pain frequency and severity [44].
At onset he experienced 2 3 attacks every day, but pain frequency decreased gradually to 1 2 attacks per week through the next 4 months.
Moreover, neither depression nor anxiety showed association with mean pain intensity, pain intensity in exacerbations, size of pain area, or pain frequency.
