OBJECTIVES: Although photophobia is a well-known symptom in various disorders, it has rarely been studied explicitly and its definition in a clinical setting can be somewhat elusive. Here, we assessed photophobia with a common psychometric tool in different conditions, in which light intolerance is considered part of the syndrome.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: A prospective study was undertaken in patients with migraine (MH), cluster headache (CH), tension-type headache (TH), essential blepharospasm (BS) and major depression (MD). Photophobia was assessed by the photophobia questionnaire (range 0-8). Symptom severity was measured in each patient group with appropriate scales. Finally, depression was assessed explicitly in each condition.
RESULTS: Hundred and six subjects met the inclusion criteria (MH: 27, CH: 21, TH: 20, BS: 18, MD: 20). Photophobia scores differed between patient groups, with migraineurs showing the highest (6.63) and TH patients the lowest (2.10) scores (ranking: MH, BS, CH, MD and TH). Symptom severity as well as depression had little, if any, influence on the degree of photophobia.
DISCUSSION: Photophobia is a core symptom of migraine but also constitutes a feature of other neurological conditions. The relative independence from other, disease-specific features, suggests that photophobia is a rather autonomous symptom.
