Clinical and psychological predictors of sleep quality in chronic migraine: a preliminary retrospective analysis study.
Observational study in BMC neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSleep disturbances are common in patients with chronic migraine, yet the clinical predictors of sleep quality in this population remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the relationship between sleep quality and clinical, psychological, and lifestyle factors in chronic migraine.
methodsThis retrospective observational study included patients with chronic migraine at a tertiary medical center in Taiwan. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Clinical variables included monthly headache days, pain severity, and migraine-related disability. Multiple regression analyses were used to identify predictors of sleep quality.
resultsAmong the 56 participants (85.7% women, mean age 42.7 ± 13.3 years), 46 (82.1%) reported poor sleep quality (PSQI ≥ 6). In unadjusted analyses, higher pain severity (β = 0.94, p = 0.010), anxiety (β = 0.22, p < 0.001), and depressive symptoms (β = 0.19, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with poorer sleep quality. Adjusted analyses revealed that anxiety (β = 0.20, p = 0.001) and depressive symptoms (β = 0.17, p = 0.002) were significant predictors of poor sleep quality in their respective models, after adjusting for demographic and clinical variables. Participants with poor sleep quality had significantly higher anxiety (19.59 ± 13.28 vs. 9.50 ± 6.42, p = 0.001) and depression scores (20.59 ± 14.45 vs. 12.40 ± 7.69, p = 0.018) than those with good sleep quality.
conclusionsAnxiety and depression are strongly associated with poor sleep quality in chronic migraine patients. Addressing psychological comorbidities is essential to improve sleep quality, highlighting the need for an integrated treatment approach.
