Than do people not being professionaly treated for migraines.

There is strong evidence that the cause of migraine (severe recurrent headaches) is not psychological but instead is purely physiological. Yet several studies have found that people being professionally treated for migraine rate higher on a standard psychological scale of anxiety than do people not being professionaly treated for migraines.

can you explain to me what does highlight mean ? I could not get it after thinking many times.

on a standard psychological scale of anxiety ?

Than

Thanks

This is a contradiction (not sure if some would call it a paradox), between: There is strong evidence that the cause of migraine is not psychological but instead is purely physiological. and the rest of the text. The presence of this contradiction is indicated by the word Yet.

There are two groups of people: Those who are being treated professionall for their migraines, and those who are not. (Now, what's NOT clear is whether that's the entire population of people or only those who have migraines but who do not seek treatment, and there's no way to know.) Let's call them Group A and Group B.

In general, Group A has a higher "anxiety score" than Group B.
