In addition, the short form-36 and the hospital anxiety anddepression scale were applied to the patients and the healthy controls.Results: The mean scores of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were significantly higher in migraine patients compared to thecontrol group. There was no significant relationship between the Adult Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Scalescores and the duration of the disease. There was a negative correlation between the SF-36 health questionnaire scores and theAdult Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Scale scores. There was a positive correlation between the MigraineDisability Assessment scores, the number of migraine attacks and the Adult Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder Self-ReportScale scores.Conclusion: Attention-deficit and hyperactivity symptoms can develop in adult migraine patients and cause psychosocial morbidityand poor quality of life.
