Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the patients' perspective of migraine and chronic daily headache (CDH) management. Methods: The study used a combination of qualitative (Phase 1) and quantitative methods (Phase 2). Both phases were conducted in the UK in adults (aged 18-65), who suffered either from migraine according to the International Headache Society criteria or from CDH. Phase 1 used semi-structured interviews (n=13) that were analysed according to the grounded theory methodology. Phase 2 was based on a postal survey that was administered to migraine, migraine with aura and

Abstract:

Tension, or muscle contraction, headache is by definition associated with life stress. However, there has been relatively little empirical research on the role of naturally occurring stressors in causing tension headache. The current investigation sought to examine some psychological variables hypothesized to be related to chronic tension headache, particularly psychosocial factors. The temporal relationship of headache activity and stress was a major focus. A second purpose of the study was to investigate the family as a particularly salient environmental source of stress for the headache suf

Chronic primary headache is a prevalent health problem worldwide, and its impact on mental health and psychosocial functioning is well documented. Studies examining the emotional component of chronic headache have indicated that headache sufferers present significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety and anger in comparison with headache-free individuals. The main aim of this study was to examine the emotions associated with the experience of chronic headache and its relationship with headache severity and headache-related disability.

Cluster headache is a primary headache disorder that can be highly disabling.

We subsequently compare these therapies where data are available using network meta-analysis of randomized trials, and we attempt subgroup analyses again where data are available for acute treatments of episodic and chronic cluster.

Introdução: A cefaleia do tipo tensional crônica (CTTC) é caracterizada por dor de cabeça quase diária e sensibilização central. A acupuntura tem sido estudada no tratamento de diversos tipos de cefaleia, porém os resultados são controversos e apenas sugerem maior eficácia em relação ao placebo. A eletroacupuntura (EA) modula algumas das funções do sistema nervoso central (SNC), podendo modificar a neuroplasticidade. A plasticidade do SNC pode ser rastreada através dos níveis séricos do fator neurotrófico derivado do cérebro (BDNF), um mediador de neuroplasticidade. Objetivo: Este estudo testo

BACKGROUND: Headaches and sleep disorders are common childhood complaints that both have detriments to the proper development of a child. It has been found that children with headaches have an increased association with sleep disorders when compared to their healthy counterparts. It has also been demonstrated that children with other chronic pain conditions, such as gastrointestinal or musculoskeletal conditions, have increased associations with sleep disorders. Neither groups have been compared to one another with regard to prevalence of sleep disturbance. LITERATURE REVIEW

Chronic daily headaches in adolescents are often refractory to the adult pharmacological interventions. And as a result, adolescents typically experience increased levels of stress, which exacerbates their headaches. Chronic daily headaches negatively impact both the adolescent and their family. Adolescents with CDHs frequently exemplify comorbid psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and increased risk for suicide. Risk factors for CDH in adolescents have been well studied;

Abstract:

Chronic headache may be the most frequently reported somatic symptom, yet it puzzles health experts and poses a considerable treatment challenge. It was suggested that this is because conventional views of headache, adhering to a Newtonian-Cartesian epistemology, focus almost exclusively on intrapsychic factors ignoring the wider social context in which the problem is embedded. An overview of the existing body of knowledge on the most widely researched headache conditions was presented, and it was argued that a conceptual shift is required to achieve a more comprehensive understanding

Often accompanying the headache are symptoms such as sensitivity to light and sound (Hayne & Martin, 2019; Neut et al., 2012). Headache pain and its associated sensitivities often result in a significant reduction in daily function and avoidance of school, leisure, and social activities (Langdon & DiSabella, 2017).
