本研究目的在探討頭痛病人疼痛嚴重程度、社會支持與生活品質之相關性。採橫斷式結構問卷調查，於某醫學中心治療超過三個月的頭痛病人為對象，以頭痛評估表、社會支持及生活品質量表資料收集，應用SPSS17.0以單因子變異分析及皮爾森相關統計進行分析。結果以女性居多20-60歲占75.9%，其中頭痛頻率與婚姻達顯著性。社會支持以配偶之情緒支持獲得最多14.82分，最能感受『尊重我的決定及意見』。另生活品質滿意度與社會支持有顯著正相關，即獲得社會支持愈多，生活之滿意度愈高。病人工作能力、社交休閒及日常生活與頭痛嚴重度呈正相關，病患情緒多焦慮緊張，有自購藥物習慣。故對頭痛困擾者能主動提供服藥知識，減少藥物依賴與濫用，協助尋求心理治療是必要的。
