Abstract

Background/Objective: The aim of this study was to identify factors related to muscle tension in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) with comorbid anxiety and migraine. Method: Consecutive psychiatric outpatients with MDD were enrolled. Self-reported muscle tension (SMT) during the previous week was evaluated with a 0-10 scale. Results: Of 135 participants with MDD, 63 (46.7%) had migraine. Multiple-regression analyses showed that migraine and headache intensity were two major independent factors related to SMT. Conclusion: Further studies on musculoskeletal symptoms in MDD should not neglect the impact of migraine.
