| Popis: | Cogniphobia refers to the fear and avoidance of cognitive exertion, believed to cause or exacerbate headache. The objective of the present study was to demonstrate associations between cogniphobia and key fear-avoidance constructs.In this cross-sectional study, 72 adults with migraine were recruited from a tertiary headache center. Patients completed the Cogniphobia Scale for Headache Disorders (CS-HD) and a series of self-reported surveys and neuropsychological measures that assessed patient demographics, migraine diagnosis and headache characteristics, current pain severity, emotional state (i.e., anxiety, pain-related fear, and depression), cognitive exertion, and functioning (self-reported disability, self-reported cognitive symptoms, and neuropsychological measures).The CS-HD was associated with greater anxiety (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System; PROMIS Anxiety;This study demonstrated associations between cogniphobia and key fear-avoidance constructs. Fear-avoidance constructs, such as cogniphobia, are important constructs to consider when evaluating migraine and neuropsychological functioning.
