Özet:

 Objectives: Migraine is a chronic neurovascular disease that usually presents with episodic and throbbing headaches. The onset of migraine attacks has been associated with the presence of internal and external triggers. The aim of our study was to investigate firstly the effect of the ten most frequently reported triggers on migraine characteristics, and secondly, the effect of the presence of multiple triggers on the changes in migraine characteristics. Materials and Methods: A total of 352 migraine patients, including 315 89.5 female and 37 10.5 male, were included in the study. Migraine characteristics of the patients were questioned. Depending on the number of triggers that triggered migraine attacks, the patients were divided into three groups: those with four or fewer triggers Group 1, those with five or six triggers Group 2, and those with more than six triggers Group 3. Results: Migraine frequency in Group 3 was significantly higher than in Group 2 and Group 1 p0.002 and p0.001. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of attack duration p0.219. Headache severity in Group 3 was significantly higher than in Group 2 and Group 1 p0.001 and p0.001. The frequency of bilateral headache in Group 3 was significantly higher than in Group 2 and Group 1 p0.038 and p0.018. Stress, food, bright light, cold, heat and odor triggers alone caused an increase in headache severity p0.023, p0.029, p0.010, p0.002, p0.022 and p0.001 while exposure to excessive sound caused a significant increase in migraine frequency p0.001. Conclusion: We demonstrated that an increase in the number of migraine triggers caused an increase in migraine frequency and headache severity. In the effective treatment of migraine in the presence of multiple triggers, avoidance for triggers that are harmful to a healthy life and learning to cope with triggers for other triggers should be applied together.

 Amaç: Migren, genellikle epizodik ve zonklayıcı baş ağrısı ile seyreden kronik bir nörovasküler hastalıktır. Migren ataklarının başlaması birçok içsel ve dışsal tetikleyicinin varlığı ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Çalışmamızın amacı ilk olarak en sık bildirilen on tetikleyicinin migren karakteristikleri üzerindeki etkisini ve ikinci olarak da çok sayıda tetikleyiciye sahip olmanın migren karakteristiklerini değiştirip değiştirmediğini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 315 89,5 kadın ve 37 10,5 erkek olmak üzere toplam 352 migren hastası dahil edildi. Hastaların migren karakteristikleri sorgulandı. Hastalar migren ataklarını başlatan tetikçi sayısına bağlı olarak dört ve daha az tetikleyici olanlar Grup 1, beş veya altı tetikleyiciye sahip olanlar Grup 2 ve altıdan fazla tetikleyiciye sahip olanlar Grup 3 olmak üzere üç gruba ayrıldı. Bulgular: Grup 3te migren sıklığı Grup 2 ve Grup 1den anlamlı olarak yüksekti p0,002 ve p0,001. Atak süresi açısından gruplar arasında anlamlı farklılık yoktu p0,219. Grup 3te baş ağrısı şiddeti Grup 2 ve Grup 1den anlamlı olarak yüksekti p0,001 ve p0,001. Grup 3te çift taraflı baş ağrısı sıklığı Grup 2 ve Grup 1den anlamlı derecede yüksekti p0,038 ve p0,018. Stres, yiyecekler, parlak ışık, soğuk, sıcak ve koku tetikleyicileri tek başlarına tetikleyici olarak baş ağrısı şiddetinde artmaya neden olur iken p0,023, p0,029, p0,010, p0,002, p0,022 ve p0,001, yüksek sese maruziyet ise migren sıklığında anlamlı artışa neden oldu p0,001. Sonuç: Biz çalışmamızda migren tetikleyici sayısının artmasının migren sıklığında ve baş ağrısı şiddetinde artmaya neden olduğunu gösterdik. Çoklu tetikleyici varlığında migrenin etkin tedavisinde sağlığa zararlı tetikleyiciler için kaçınma yöntemi ve diğer tetikleyiciler için ise tetikleyici ile mücadele etmenin öğrenilmesi yöntemi beraber uygulanmalıdır.
