| Abstract: | Psychiatric disorders, notably mood and anxiety disorders, are frequently associated with migraine and chronic daily headaches.
The obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is included in the spectrum of anxiety disorders and may be a comorbid condition in
headache patients. However, little information has been reported in the literature about this association. This is an important
issue as OCD may contribute to the development or maintenance of treatment-resistant chronic headaches. In this paper, we
describe a young female patient with refractory chronic migraine and OCD. Considerations on diagnosis, management and treatment
of these comorbid conditions are presented. |
