Abstract

Introduction: The Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common type of headache across the world with the greatest socioeconomic impact on patient’ s life in comparison with other primary headaches. Salivary α-amylase could reflect changes associated with stress in the body. The present study investigated the relationship between stress and frequent episodic Tension-type headache by measuring the Salivary α-amylase levels. Materials & Methods: In this case-control study, 90 females in two groups, a case group with 45 females with frequent episodic TTH and a control group with 45 healthy females were enrolled. The Hamilton stress questionnaire was completed in the two groups to examine the level of stress. Then, Salivary α-amylase levels were measured. The data were analyzed with SPSS 18 using t-test and Mann-Whitney test (α = 0. 05). Results: The mean Salivary α-amylase activity levels and mean Hamilton questionnaire scores in the case group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p value = 0. 001). In addition, there was a significant correlation between the Salivary α-amylase activity and Hamilton questionnaire scores in the case (p value = 0. 002) and control (p value= 0. 001) groups. Conclusion: According to the result of the present study, Salivary α-amylase levels can be an appropriate marker for assessing Anxiety in patients with frequent episodic tensiontype headache.
