Abstract:

Tension-type headache is the most common primary headache disorder. The life-time prevalence of tension-type headache in general population is between 30 to 78%. Tension-type has the tremendous socio-economic impact on the individual and the society. Unfortunately, it is the least studied primary headache. The pathophysiology of this headache disorder is not fully understood. The diagnosis of tension-type headache is based on the history, and general and neurological examinations. Abnormalities in peripheral and central nociceptive nervous systems in combination with environmental and genetic factors may play a role in the pathophysiology of tension-type headache. The pharmacotherapy of episodic tension-type headache is non-specific and includes simple analgesics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Tricyclic antidepressants are the mainstay in the prophylactic treatment of chronic tension-type headache.

Abstract:

This community-based telephone survey determined medication patterns of 274 frequent headache sufferers who reported 12 or more headaches a year. Headaches were classified using the International Headache Society's (IHS) criteria. Participants reported on 465 types of headaches: 129 tension headaches, 158 migraine headaches, 8 chronic tension headaches, and 148 headaches which were unclassifiable using IHS criteria. Females ( n=133) reported an average of 1.9 types of headache and males ( n=141) reported 1.5 headache types. Fifty-six percent of respondents used acetaminophen for tension-type and 60% used acetaminophen for migraine. One percent used prescription medication for tension headache and 12% used prescriptions for migraine. The perceived effectiveness of over-the-counter medication was approximately 7 on a scale of 0–10 for tension headaches and 6 for migraine. Both tension-headache and migraine-headache sufferers waited about 1 h before taking any medication. Tension-headache sufferers waited until the headache was above 5 on a 0 to 10 scale (4.6 for migraine). It is possible that more aggressive use of medication might improve headache management.

Abstract:

Among the variety of different types of headaches, the leading place (more than 80%) belongs to tension-type headache (THT), the frequency of which in the population ranges from 32 to 64%. Treatment of HDN is a rather difficult task. This is primarily due to the need to carefully consider all the mechanisms of the development of the pathological process in various types of HDN, as well as additional factors (cervicogenic, myofascial, psychoalgic, etc.) leading to the onset of pain.

Abstract:

Neurotrophic factors (NF) are involved in pain regulation and a few studies have suggested that they may play a pathophysiological role in primary headaches. The aim of this study was to investigate NF levels in patients with tension type headache (TTH). We carried out a cross sectional study including 48 TTH patients and 48 age and gender matched controls. Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventories, and Headache Impact Test were recorded. Serum levels of NF were determined by ELISA. There were not significant differences between NF levels between TTH patients and controls. Patients with chronic and episodic TTH had not significant differences in NF levels. The presence of headache at the time of evaluation did not significantly alter the levels of NF. Depression and anxiety scores as well as headache impact did not correlate with NF levels. Our study suggest that the serum levels of NF are not altered in TTH.

Abstract:

Migraine and tension type headache are the two most common primary headaches. The purpose of this study was to detect differences in clinical characteristics and headache triggers and in a Greek cohort of 51 migraineurs and 12 patients with tension-type headache. (TTH) Migraine patients had a significantly lower age at headache onset and frequency, higher mean visual analogue scale (VAS) and greater maximum duration of headache episodes compared to TTH patients. They did not differ from (TTH) patients in quality of headache, laterality of pain, way of headache installation and progression and temporal pattern of headaches. Nausea, vomiting and phonophobia were more frequent in migraine. Triggering of headaches by dietary factors was associated with migraine, whereas there was no difference between the two groups in any of the other headache triggers. Stress, both physical and psychological, were particularly common in both patient groups.

Abstract:

Background: Headaches have not only medical but also great socioeconomic significance, therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the overall impact of headaches on a patient’s life, including their work and work efficiency. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of individual headache types on work and work efficiency. Methods: This research was designed as a cross-sectional study performed by administering a questionnaire among employees. The questionnaire consisted of general questions, questions about headache features, and questions about the impact of headaches on work. Results: Monthly absence from work was mostly represented by migraine sufferers (7.1%), significantly more than with sufferers with tension-type headaches (2.23%; p = 0.019) and other headache types (2.15%; p = 0.025). Migraine sufferers (30.2%) worked in spite of a headache for more than 25 h, which was more frequent than with sufferers from tension-type and other-type headaches (13.4%). On average, headache sufferers reported work efficiency ranging from 66% to 90%. With regard to individual headache types, this range was significantly more frequent in subjects with tension-type headaches, whereas 91–100% efficiency was significantly more frequent in subjects with other headache types. Lower efficiency, i.e., 0–40% and 41–65%, was significantly more frequent with migraine sufferers. Conclusions: Headaches, especially migraines, significantly affect the work and work efficiency of headache sufferers by reducing their productivity. Loss is greater due to reduced efficiency than due to absenteeism.

Abstract:

It is estimated that 30–80% of the population in Europe and the United States experience frequent and recurrent headaches, the most common of which are tension-type, migraine and cluster headaches. Migraine can also overlap with tension-type headache, which is referred to as vasomotor or mixed headache. According to the 3rd edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3 beta), these entities are classified as idiopathic (primary) headaches, where pain is both the essence and the main symptom of the disease. Idiopathic headaches are difficult to diagnose as they differ mainly in intensity. When collecting medical history, the focus should be placed on the duration and location of pain. Therefore, a thorough interview to assess subjective pain intensity is one of the basic elements of the diagnostic workup. Tension-type headache, migraine and cluster headaches are also characterised by specific symptoms, identification of which is essential for the diagnosis. Cluster headache produces the most typical symptoms. Since these types of headaches require different therapeutic strategies, it is necessary to differentiate them. Their treatment requires interdisciplinary cooperation of, among others, dentists, neurologists, and physiotherapists. In this paper, we made an attempt to discuss the pathogenesis, symptoms and differential diagnosis of tension headache, migraine and cluster headache, based on literature review.

Abstract:

Headache is one of the most common symtomps which cause patients consult a neurologist. Primary headache is headache without other underlying diseases. Primary headaches can be divided into migraine headaches, tension types-headache, trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias, and other types of headaches. Sex differences play a role in the perception of headache. Theories regarding hormonal, the number of pain-sensitive points, subjectivity, and psychosocial factors are mostly related to the differences of migraine and TTH pathophysiology between women and men.

Abstract:

In the last 10 years there has been increasing interest in the role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in primary headaches. Tension-type headache is one of the most common and important types of primary headaches, and ongoing nociception from myofascial tissues may play an important role in the pathophysiology of this disorder. CGRP sensory fibers are preferentially located in the walls of arteries, and nerve fibers containing CGRP accompany small blood vessels in human cranial muscles. It is well established that nociception may lead to release of CGRP from sensory nerve endings and from central terminals of sensory afferents into the spinal cord. It has also been shown that density of CGRP fibers around arteries is increased in persistently inflamed muscle. These findings indicate that ongoing activity in sensory neurons in the cranial muscles may be reflected in changes of plasma levels of neuropeptides in patients with chronic tension-type headache. To explore the possible role of CGRP in tension-type headache, plasma levels of CGRP were measured in patients with chronic tension-type headache. This study showed that plasma levels of CGRP are normal in patients and unrelated to headache state. However, the findings of normal plasma levels of CGRP do not exclude the possibility that abnormalities of this neuropeptide at the neuronal or peripheral (pericranial muscles) levels play a role in the pathophysiology of tension-type headache. Investigation of CGRP in other compartments with new sensitive methods of analysis is necessary to clarify its role in tension-type headache.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT:A large sample of Canadian adults was surveyed by telephone to determine the prevalence and characterization of headache, and the effects of headache on life-style, consulting behaviours and medication use. We reported prevalence and characterization in a previous issue; here, we detail the effects of headaches on sufferers. Sixteen and one-half percent of adult Canadians experience migraine and 29% tension-type headaches. In over 70% of headache sufferers interpersonal relationships are impaired. Regular activities are limited in 78% of migraine attacks and 38% of tension-type headaches. Despite this, only 64% of migraine and 45% of tension-type headache sufferers had ever sought medical attention, and of these only 32% returned for ongoing care. Fourteen percent of migraine and 8% of tension-type headache sufferers had used emergency departments. Most headache sufferers take medication, primarily over-the-counter varieties. Measures to reach the headache population are needed, as are safe effective treatment options that will encourage them to participate in their medical care.

The aim of the present study was to explore the diagnosis criteria of tension-type headache in a multicenter-based sample from Chongqing, China. Methods Clinical characteristics and demographics were systematically and prospectively collected between March 2014 and December 2015 from 15 participating hospitals in Chongqing, using a semi-structured face-to-face interview. All patients were asked to complete a headache diary for at least 4 weeks. Results Out of 1832 patients with headache, 150 patients (97 female/53 male, 44.56 ± 11.9 years old) were diagnosed with tension-type headache based on the standard International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition beta version, and interestingly, 114 (76%) patients were diagnosed with tension-type headache based on the alternative criteria. One patient was excluded because only two of the four characteristics were fulfilled. Thirty-five (23.3%) patients did not meet the alternative criteria because of associated symptoms, including mild nausea (n = 6), photophobia (n = 1), and phonophobia (n = 28). All patients with TTH had mild or moderate headaches, 98.0% of patients suffered from non-pulsating headaches, 99.3% of patients said their headaches were not aggravated by routine physical activity, and 77.3% of patients had bilateral headache. Conclusions Non-pulsating headaches and headaches that are not aggravated by routine physical activity may represent core criteria for screening patients with tension-type headache. Nausea might not be an exclusion feature for diagnosis of TTH, but an important criterion for screening. Further studies are needed.

Abstract:

The Clinical Trials Subcommittee of the International Headache Society published its first edition of the guidelines on controlled trials of drugs in tension-type headache in 1995. These aimed ‘to improve the quality of controlled clinical trials in tension-type headache’, because ‘good quality controlled trials are the only way to convincingly demonstrate the efficacy of a drug, and form the basis for international agreement on drug therapy’. The Committee published similar guidelines for clinical trials in migraine and cluster headache. Since 1995 several studies on the treatment of episodic and chronic tension-type headache have been published, providing new information on trial methodology for this disorder. Furthermore, the classification of the headaches, including tension-type headache, has been revised. These developments support the need for also revising the guidelines for drug treatments in tension-type headache. These Guidelines are intended to assist in the design of well-controlled clinical trials in tension-type headache.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Objectives Inflammatory molecules and neurotrophic factors are implicated in pain modulation; however, their role in primary headaches is not yet clear. The aim of this study was to compare the levels of serum biomarkers in migraine and tension-type headache. Methods This was a cross-sectional study. We measured serum levels of adiponectin, chemokines, and neurotrophic factors in patients with migraine and tension-type headache. Depression and anxiety symptoms, headache impact and frequency, and allodynia were recorded. Results We included sixty-eight patients with migraine and forty-eight with tension-type headache. Cutaneous allodynia (p = 0.035), CCL3/MIP-1α (p = 0.041), CCL5/RANTES (p = 0.013), and ADP (p = 0.017) were significantly higher in migraine than in tension-type headache. The differences occurred independently of anxiety and depressive symptoms, frequency and impact of headache, and the presence of pain. Conclusions This study showed higher CCL3/MIP-1α, CCL5/RANTES, and ADP levels in migraine in comparison with tension-type headache. Our findings suggest distinctive roles of these molecules in the pathophysiology of these primary headaches.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT:Trained telephone interviewers contacted 1,573 adults across Canada about the nature and frequency of headaches suffered by them or by others in their households. Using a table of pain symptoms and other characteristics abstracted from the International Headache Society (IHS) classification, the headaches were assigned to migraine headache, tension-type headache or other diagnostic groups. Of the households sampled, 59% had at least one headache sufferer in residence. The proportion of headache sufferers with migraine was 14%; with tension-type, 36%; and with both, 14%. Migraine headache caused more disability than tension-type headache, with nearly 20% of migraine sufferers taking time off work and disability lasting for a mean of 1 day. It is concluded that the current prevalences of migraine and tension-type headache in Canada fall around the mean of previous studies, that the IHS criteria can form a basis for diagnostic classification and that the functional impact of migraine has been seriously underestimated in the past.

Abstract:

Headache disorders are among the most common disorders of the nervous system. According to World Health Organisation reports that almost half of all adults worldwide experience a headache in any given year. Based on research, headaches are classified into primary and secondary headaches. Depending on global prevalence the most common primary headaches are migraine, tension-type, and cluster headaches. If left untreated it can result in increased pain, decreased quality of life. The objective of this literature article is to analyze the effect of aerobic exercise on pain and quality of life among subjects with primary headaches like migraine, tension-type, and cluster headache and to discuss the current updates in the literature. In this article, relevant data available in PubMed, Cochrane, and Medline databases were retrieved from 2010 to February 2020 using the search terms aerobic exercise and tension-type headaches, aerobic exercise and migraine, aerobic exercise and cluster headaches, pain, and quality of life. The search strategy identified five articles that considered the effect of aerobic exercise on primary headaches like a migraine; tension-type and cluster. Results have positive effects for aerobic exercise on tension-type headache, migraine headache mainly on pain intensity, whereas the quality of life is less studied. On the other hand, these studies did not provide a specific protocol or parameter on exercise intensities. The availability of data on the influence of aerobic exercise on primary headaches though is limited, aerobic exercises are the best option for reducing pain and improving quality of life in primary headaches, especially for tension-type and migraine-type headaches.

Abstract:

AbstractMigraine and tension-type headache (TTH) are common primary disorders that carry significant morbidity and socioeconomic effect. In this article, we will review the epidemiology, presentation, and diagnosis of these disorders. First-line acute treatment for migraine consists of analgesics, triptans, and antiemetics, while nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the mainstay treatment for TTH. Patients with frequent or chronic headaches warrant prophylactic therapy. For migraine, various classes of preventives can be used (β-blockers, tricyclics, antiepileptics, botulinum toxin), with the choice of therapy tailored to the patient's risk factors and symptoms. For TTH, tricyclics have the most evidence as prophylactic therapy. A new class of medication, monoclonal antibodies to calcitonin gene receptor peptide or its receptor, became available in 2018, and is the first class of medication specifically designed to treat migraine. In addition to pharmacotherapy, we will also review nonpharmacologic interventions as well as neuromodulation for migraine.

Abstract:

This study investigated effects of applying cognitive-behavioral group therapy on recurrent headaches. Among Shiraz University female students complaining of headaches, 20 patients, each reporting either migraine or tension-type headaches and who met the 1988 International Headache Society diagnosis criteria for migraine and tension-type headaches, formed two groups. Analysis showed cognitive-behavioral group therapy decreased headache index significantly. Therapeutic response patterns on dependent variables were similar for patients with migraines and those with tension-type headaches.

Abstract:

Chronic daily headache (CDH), a heterogeneous group of headaches, includes different forms that occur daily, or almost daily, over a prolonged period of time. The nosography of this group is still a matter of debate, and in the most recent classification of the IHS (1988) only a few types of CDH are included: chronic tension-type headache, coexisting migraine. This study is an epidemiological approach to identifying the clinical features of CDH and the possible factors involved in changing episodic headache in CDH. Ninety CDH outpatients were investigated using a computerized record chart. The main observed forms were: (a) chronic tension-type headache–migraine with interparoxysmal headache, an evolved form of migraine in which a constant low severity headache develops between attacks; (b) transformed migraine, an evolved form of migraine with progressive worsening of the disease which reaches the level of continuous pain with the disappearance of typical migraine attacks. Interval headaches in migraine with interparoxysmal headache partly fulfil the IHS criteria for chronic tension-type headache. Analgesic drug abuse plays a prominent role in inducing CDH and in determining its clinical features.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: Characterization of headaches in premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Although headache is one of the symptoms for PMS, no details on this headache are given by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) criteria. METHOD: A group of 45 fertile age women presenting PMS were invited to complete a registration diary for headache and PMS symptoms for three consecutive months. The diary included details of each headache attack, allowing for classification according to the International Headache Society criteria (IHS-2004). RESULTS: Migraine without aura was the most common type of headache in PMS (n=27, 60%), followed by tension type headache (n=15, 30%). Only in two cases the type of headache varied among the observed months, and only in one case the diagnosis could not be concluded by the IHS-2004 criteria. CONCLUSION: Better clinical and therapeutic approach to headache in PMS can be achieved if the patient's type of headache could be properly characterized.

Abstract:

Despite tension-type headache represents one of the most frequent and costly diseases in modern society only very little research on this disease has actually been carried out. In contrast to former belief tension-type headache is a separate entity that can and should be separated from migraine. No specific biochemical abnormalities have yet been identified but a reliable human model of tension-type headache has been developed by means of infusion of a NO-donor, glyceryl trinitrate. Myofascial factors and peripheral sensitization of nociceptors play an important role in the episodic form, and central sensitization has been demonstrated in the chronic form. As chronic tension-type headache usually evolves from the episodic form, prevention and reversal of this central sensitization may be an important target for future pathophysiological studies and drug development.
