Association between prescribed antidepressants and other prescribed drugs differ by gender: a nationwide register-based study in Sweden.

Background: People with depression are prescribed more drugs than people in general, partly due to comorbidity with other conditions. However, little research has been done on depression-related drug use from a gender perspective.

Aim: Examine the association between antidepressants, other types of prescribed drugs, and polypharmacy, by gender.

To examine gender differences in self-reported depression and prescribed antidepressants (ADs). The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess depression, and information on prescribed ADs was obtained from the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register. Depression was reported by 11.

The influence of multimodal behavioral treatment on the consumption of acute migraine drugs: a randomized, controlled study.

Methods: Seventy-six adults reporting at least two monthly migraine attacks underwent a randomized, controlled, 24-week MBT intervention. Migraine drugs and symptoms were registered in an Internet-based diary.

Stress in migraine: personality-dependent vulnerability, life events, and gender are of significance.

Background And Aim: The individual's experiences of stress as well as constitutional factors, including high neuroticism and female gender, are known determinants for migraine. The present aim was to further elucidate factors of personality and stress, including life events, in relation to gender in migraine.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 150 persons, 106 women and 44 men, suffering from at least two migraine attacks a month.

Multimodal behavioral treatment of migraine: an Internet-administered, randomized, controlled trial.

Introduction: Multimodal approaches in behavioral treatment have gained recent interest, with proven efficacy for migraine. The utility of the Internet has been demonstrated for behavioral treatment of headache disorders, but not specifically for migraine. The aim of the study was to develop and evaluate an Internet-based multimodal behavior treatment (MBT) program for migraine and to test hand massage treatment as an adjunct.
