Sažetak
Objective: To evaluate if somatic symptoms of Eating Disorders and Migraine reflect similar aspects of personality and
temperament.
Methods: The clinical notes of 27 migraineurs and of 26 ED outpatients were reviewed; 40 medical students of the University of
Perugia were recruited as healthy controls. TCI, DMI, SCID-II and TAS-20 were used. Statistical analysis: performed by logistic
regression, a cluster analysis that gave the weight for the three groups, and a logistic regression of the cluster analysis.
Results: Patients showed medium scores in almost all the scales of the different tests. High scores in HA and low scores in NS
characterized both migraine and ED patients. Logistic regression of the cluster analysis underscored that ED patients, migraineurs,
and controls differed for HA (435.424, p≤0.0001), TAS-20 F2 (difficulty in describing feelings to others; 7.087, p=0.029), and the
defense mechanism turning against object (6.702, p=0.035).
Discussion: The temperamental aspects of low NS and high HA represent the core symptoms of a spectrum composed of
somatizing patients who use affective and behavioral strategies that are not functional enough in affective regulation.
