Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate family functioning in families with a member suffering from headache and families without this situation. Methods: The participants in this study were 124 patients who were suffering from recurring headaches and chronic headaches, 69 patients had chronic headache and 55 patients suffering from recurring headaches. In the control group, there was 53 individuals had not a history of severe headaches. Participants of this study who chose in neurology clinics was sampled as in access participants. They complete demographic questionnaire and Family Assessment Device (FAD), and MANOVA (multivariate analysis of variance) test performed for this goal. Results showed that there was significant difference between chronic headache, non-chronic headache, and control group (p<0.01). Otherwise, there was significant difference between these groups in FAD's subscales. Findings: Games-Howell post hoc test indicated patients with chronic headache had poorer family function in comparison to control group. Conclusion: We can conclude that families of headache patients in particular chronic headache, have dysfunctional family and we should consider the role of family in consolidation and deterioration of headaches more than past. Off course giving attention to family factors could be help us in understanding this complex disorder
