TL;DR
Headaches or pain in the head, psychological distress, and psychosomatic problems were predictors for all dimensions of ND, and effects were observed for both incidence and persistence of ND.
Abstract
The results emphasize the role of psychosomatic and psychological factors in the occurrence and course of ND for various dimensions of the disorder.
