Objective: In this study, we investigated whether psychological factors were associated with subsequent acute exacerbation of tension-type headache (TTH) in a prospective and ecologically valid manner with computerized ecological momentary assessment.Methods: Eighteen women and five men with TTH wore watch-type computers that acted as an electronic diary for 1 week. The subjects recorded momentary headache intensity, psychological stress, anxiety, and depressive mood with a visual analog scale of 0-100 approximately every 6 h as well as when waking up, when going to bed, and at acute headache exacerbations. Multilevel logistic regression analysis with acute headache exacerbation occurrence as the outcome was conducted. Person-mean centering was applied to psychological factors to disaggregate between- and within-individual association.Results: Momentary psychological stress was associated with subsequent increase in headache exacerbation within 3 h [Odds Ratio (95% CI) = 1.32 (1.07, 1.64) for 10-point increments] while the individual mean of psychological stress was not.Conclusion: These results support the possibility that psychological stress, could trigger acute exacerbations of 1TH.
