Abstract:

This study sought to determine whether chronic post-traumatic headaches are different from or identical to the naturally occurring headaches. The chronic post-traumatic headaches of 48 patients were classified, as if they were natural headaches, by the diagnostic criteria of the International Headache Society. Thirty-six patients' headaches (75%) were chronic tension-type headache, 10 (21%) were migraine without aura, and 2 (4%) were unclassifiable. The characteristics and accompaniments of the headaches within each diagnostic group were then compared to those in a control group with natural h

The criteria of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-II) were applied. The questionnaire response rate was 71%, and the participation rate of the interview was 74%.

Abstract:

This article describes three studies that explore the relationship between headaches and the Type A behaviour pattern. The results of the first study demonstrated that in a student sample individuals who suffer from more fequent headaches and headaches of higher intensity have significantly elevated Type A scores. The second study complemented the first by showing that the majority of chronic headache sufferers displayed the Type A behaviour pattern; and the findings of the two studies together suggested that between 68% and 90% of chronic headache sufferers may be classified as Type A's.

BACKGROUND Chronic daily headache is a common problem reported in tertiary centres and headache is more commonly comorbid with psychiatric disorders. Headache associated with psychopathology has exaggerated effects on quality of life and disability. Comorbid psychiatric illnesses are risk factors for headaches becoming chronic.

There are three headaches syndromes that are typically characterized by strictly unilateral and always same-sided attacks: cluster headache, “cervicogenic” headache, and chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH). In rare cases, cluster headache also occurs bilaterally; “cervicogenic” headaches probably as well. We present a patient with a probable bilateral CPH.

Abstract:

Abstract Medical treatment of chronic cluster headaches (cluster headaches that occur frequently without remission) can be very difficult. In many patients, the pain remains severe despite all medication trials. For these patients, previous reports recommend radiofrequency trigeminal rhizotomy, which risks corneal anesthesia and subsequent corneal decompensation. As a safer, yet effective, treatment, retro-Gasserian injections of glycerol were given to eight patients having intractable chronic cluster headaches. Needle penetration into the trigeminal cistern, glycerol amount (0.55 ml), and len

Objective To estimate the one-year prevalence of primary headaches, most importantly migraine and tension type headache, but also other primary headaches, in Estonia. Methods A population-based random sample of 2162 subjects in Tartu City and Tartu County were interviewed by telephone or face to face using a previously validated questionnaire. Results Of the 2162 contacted participants, 1215 (56%) fully completed the study. Of these, 502 (41.3%) reported headache during the previous year.

Abstract:

Youth with chronic headache disorders often experience sensitivities to light and sound that trigger or exacerbate their headaches and contribute to functional disability. At present, there are no known validated measures for assessing these sensitivities and their impact on functioning in youth with chronic headaches. This pilot study sought to develop and assess the feasibility of measures of headache-related light and sounds sensitivities in youth with chronic headache disorders. The initial item pools were generated via an intensive literature review, an informal quality improvement projec

Aims The aim of this article is to determine the patient-level factors associated with headache neuroimaging in outpatient practice. Methods Using data from the 2007–2010 National Ambulatory Medical Care Surveys (NAMCS), we estimated headache neuroimaging utilization (cross-sectional). Multivariable logistic regression was used to explore associations between patient-level factors and neuroimaging utilization. A Markov model with Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate neuroimaging utilization over time at the individual patient level. Results Migraine diagnoses (OR = 0.6, 95% CI 0.4–0.9)

This study explores electroencephalographic (EEG) changes in patients with different types of chronic headaches, including aura and non-aura migraine, chronic tension-type headaches, and medication overuse headaches. The research analyzes EEG parameters such as dominant alpha rhythm, slow-wave activity, focal theta and delta rhythms, and hemispheric asymmetry during and outside migraine attacks. The findings indicate significant neurophysiological differences among headache types, which could aid in refining diagnostic criteria and developing personalized treatment strategies.

We conducted a clinic-based study focusing on the clinical features of new-onset chronic daily headaches (CDH) in children and adolescents. The clinical records and headache diaries of 306 children and adolescents were reviewed, to identify 187 with CDH. Relevant information was transferred to a standardized form that included operational criteria for the diagnoses of the headaches. Since we were interested in describing the clinical features of these headaches, we followed the criteria A and B of the 2nd edn of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-2) and refer to them

Abstract:

Background and overview: It is widely accepted that cervicogenic headache (CEH) originates in the neck. In many circles, it is also accepted that neck–tongue syndrome belongs to the headaches that have their origin in the neck. For many headache researchers, the list: “headaches stemming from the neck” ends here. The objective of this overview was to explore the field and to determine whether there are grounds for adding other headaches to this list. Discussion: We suggest that headaches stemming from the neck possibly consist of five different subgroups: CEH, neck–tongue syndrome, tractor dri

The latter are more frequent, more intense, and longer than any episodic migraine that the patient might have experienced prior to the development of the chronic daily headaches. Rebound presenting as migraine without tension-type pain has been mentioned in a few previous articles on chronic daily headache, but there have been no previous articles stressing that frequent migraine might relate to the analgesics that are being used.

Headache is considered to be one of the main symptoms of arterial hypertension (HT). Complaints of headache are presented by many patients with HT: from 44% to 87%. It is obvious that the majority of complaints of headache in patients with HT is not due to headaches due to increased blood pressure (BP), but multimorbidity (polymorbidity) – the presence of coexisting primary headaches, most often, as in the population as a whole, chronic tension headache (57-85%) and migraine (15-30%). On the other hand, the frequency of HT in patients with migraine ranges from 32% to 44%. The relationship betw
