Brief Summary: Headache is one of the most common health problems in the society and negatively affects the quality of life of individuals Increasing complaints of headache in recent years can be associated with many physiological and psychological factors Sleep disturbances are one of these factors Inadequate or non-restful sleep can interfere with the normal course of physical mental social and emotional functions Impaired sleep quality interferes with the body39s process of repairing and regenerating itself which can lead to more serious health problems in the long term Secondly headaches can also lead to neurophysiological changes such as central sensitization Central sensitization causes the nervous system to become hypersensitive lowering the pain threshold and increasing pain perception Finally headache can have psychological effects by increasing levels of depression anxiety and stress

This study aimed to determine the effects of headache on sleep disturbances central sensitization depression anxiety and stress
Detailed Description: Headache is one of the most common health problems in the society and types of headache have a significant negative impact on the quality of life of individuals Headaches can occur in a wide range from temporary discomfort to chronic problems and can negatively affect individualsamp39 work performance social life and general health In recent years complaints of headache have been increasing in the society This may be associated with factors such as stress factors of modern life sleep irregularities and increased use of technology

One of the factors most affected by headache is sleep disturbance Especially the presence of migraine can lead to sleep disorders Sleep disorders consist of various conditions that disrupt normal sleep patterns and are one of the most common problems encountered in clinical practice Inadequate or non-restful sleep may interfere with the normal course of physical mental social and emotional functions Impaired sleep quality inhibits the bodyamp39s process of self-repair and regeneration which can lead to more serious health problems in the long term

Establishing the relationship between sleep and headache can make a significant contribution to the management of headache

Headaches can also be an important trigger of central sensitization Central sensitization is an adaptive activity-dependent and dynamic neurophysiological phenomenon This process involves neurobiological changes in neurons in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord These changes include increased excitability enhanced synaptic transmission and decreased inhibition In summary central sensitization is a condition in which the nervous system becomes hypersensitive and pain is perceived as more severe than normal Especially in individuals with chronic headache central sensitization may develop as a result of continuous stimulation of the nervous system and this may lead to a decrease in pain threshold and an increase in pain perception Especially the fact that chronic headache triggers central sensitization is a factor that makes the treatment process very difficult and this situation seriously affects the quality of life of patients

The psychological effects of headache cannot be ignored Headache can increase depression anxiety and stress levels When pain becomes a constant source of anxiety it makes it difficult to perform daily activities and negatively affects the general mood of the person Depression and anxiety can increase the severity of headaches and headaches can trigger these psychological conditions Stress can be both a cause and a consequence of headache especially tension-type headaches are closely related to stress Therefore it is important to consider the psychological status in the treatment of headache

The presence of headache may affect many factors such as sleep disturbance central sensitization depression anxiety and stress and revealing these effects will contribute to the development of treatment approaches in headache treatment

In the light of the above information the aim of the present study was to determine the effect of the presence of headache on sleep disorders central sensitization depression anxiety and stress
