| Summary: | The aim of the present study was to verify the relation between migraine and stress, and to identify the best predictor model for migraine, considering personal and environment variables. Migraine was identified applying the Test of the Brazilian Headache Society to 75 women without psychiatric history. Stress was identified by the Stress Symptom for Adults Inventory. Simultaneously, life events, socioeconomic level, and sample characteristics were assessed. According to the results, 55% of women presented migraine and 59% showed stress. The prediction model revealed that the presence of stress was the only predictor of the presence of migraine in women. These findings suggest an association between migraine and stress, which should be considered in the health assistance of women.
