Abstract:
Alexithymia is a multidimensional personality trait characterized by the difficulties to identify self-feelings and describe feelings and extroverted thinking.Alexithymia is considered a potential feature of paroxysmal mi-graine,chronic migraine,and medication overuse headache.At present,there are few studies on the association between migraine and alexithymia,and by reviewing the concept,classification,risk factors,and mechanisms of alexithymia and the association between alexithymia and migraine,this article explores the characteristics of alexithymia in migraine pa-tients,in order to improve the ability to identify alexithymia among clinicians during the diagnosis and treatment of head-ache,thereby helping patients to receive timely intervention and treatment.
