Full textRecent research shows variability in the effectiveness of botulinum toxin A among patients who experience their headaches as imploding compared with those who experience exploding headache sensations. Further research has not yet examined whether such variability exists among other pharmacological treatments. This study examines the effectiveness of acute and preventative medications in imploding vs. exploding headaches. 201 patients were recruited in the Women’s Health Internal Medicine Program at Mayo Clinic. These patients were given surveys to determine their physician identified headache type (imploding, exploding, or ocular), as well as patient-reported information about the effectiveness of prophylactic medications or triptans. This data was analyzed to determine whether a significant difference existed between medications that were effective for imploding, exploding, or ocular headaches. The study found that no such difference existed. The data was also used to analyze the correlation between physician-identified headache type and the patient-identified headache type. There appears to be only a weak correlation between these assignments, suggesting some room for improvement in the way headache directionality is explored by physician and understood by patients. In the future, research will hopefully uncover additional factors which are useful as predictors for migraine pharmacology.

Abstract: Critically analyse the diagnostic criteria of headaches from International Classification of Headache Disorders Diagnostic Criteria (ICHD) 1988 and from ICHD 2004. Method: Four hundred ninety-six patients who were attended at the Headache Outpatient Ward for Children and Adolescence of the General Hospital, Medical School of the State University from São Paulo - Unesp- of the city Botucatu from 1992 to 2002 were analyzed. Individuals were classified according three diagnostics groups: Intuitive Clinic Diagnostic (ICD-"gold standard"), ICHD I- 1988 and ICHD II-2004. They were statistically compared using the variables: Sensibility (S), Specificity (Sp), Positive Predictive Value (PPV), Negative Predictive Value (NPV), according to formulas/criteria: CLAP - PAHO/WHO (1988) and of Rouquayrol (1993). Result: It was observed that the ICHD II-2004 presented higher sensibility than ICHD I-1988 concerning migraine with and without aura, there was no significant difference concerning other variables. Conclusions: The ICHD II-2004 showed higher sensibility referring to migraine when compared with ICHD I 1988 without affecting specificity and although it improved migraine diagnosis in children and adolescents, the sensitivity remains poor.

Full textObjectives: To compare the cost-effectiveness of amitriptyline, divalproex, propranolol, and topiramate in the prophylactic treatment of migraine headaches based on published data. Methods: A MEDLINE search was done to identify all randomized, controlled clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of amitriptyline, divalproex, propranolol, and topiramate in the prophylactic treatment of migraine headaches. Results from these studies were then combined with drug cost and health care service costs related to treatment failure and adverse events to assess the relative cost-effectiveness of each medication. A decision tree model was created and Monte Carlo simulation was done to determine each products cost-effectiveness. Results: Amitriptyline was both most effective and least costly of the four treatment regimens studied. The mean costs for a 90 day treatment of each of the four respective medications were found to be: amitriptyline $62, divalproex $450, propranolol $91, and topiramate $802. An acceptability curve demonstrated that amitriptyline was most cost-effective 90% of the time, propranolol 10% of the time, and divalproex and topiramate were never the most cost-effective treatment. Conclusions: Among the most common medications used for migraine prophylaxis are amitriptyline, divalproex, propranolol, and topiramate. Based upon this analysis, amitriptyline was found to be the most cost-effective medication. Therefore, it is logical from the perspective of a managed-care organization to recommend amitriptyline as a first-line agent for migraine prophylaxis.

Resumo: Cefaléia é uma experiência humana universal e pode representar a expressão final de uma ampla variedade de agressões ao sistema nervoso humano. Disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) refere-se a um conjunto de condições caracterizadas por dor na articulação temporomandibular (ATM), na área periauricular ou nos músculos da mastigação, sons articulares e desvios ou restrições dos movimentos mandibulares. Sindromicamente representa a consequência de várias disfunções no sistema mastigatório. Cefaleias são sintomas comuns entre indivíduos com DTM. Além de serem prevalentes e potencialmente incapacitantes, evidências limitadas também sugerem que tipos específicos de cefaleias e DTM são condições comórbidas. Os objetivos globais dos estudos aqui apresentados foram testar se há associação entre DTM e cefaléias primárias, se existe especificidade nessa associação e finalmente se há diferença na magnitude da associação de acordo com subtipos de DTM e classificação das cefaléias primárias. Os estudos foram conduzidos em duas amostras distintas, sendo uma populacional e a outra clínica. Os dados do estudo populacional foram coletados por meio de dois questionários aplicados durante ligações telefônicas. Um deles abordava as características das cefaleias e baseava-se nos critérios da Sociedade Internacional de Cefaleias. O outro questionava a existência de sintomas relacionados às DTMs. No estudo clínico, o mesmo questionário foi usado para coletar informações sobre as cefaleias, e as DTMs foram classificadas por meio da aplicação do Critérios Diagnósticos de Pesquisa em Disfunção Temporomandibular (RDC/TMD).

Abstract: Headache is a nearly universal human experience, and may represent the final common expression of a wide variety of assaults upon the human nervous system. TMD refers to a group of conditions characterized by pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), in the preauricular area or muscles of mastication, TMJ sounds, and by deviations or restriction in mandibular range of motion. Syndromically represents the consequences of several disorders into the masticatory system. Headaches have been seen as a common symptom among individuals with TMD. Beyond being prevalent and disabling disorders, limited evidence also suggest that specific headache disorders and TMD are comorbid. Controversies regarding this relation include the specificity of the association and the influence of severity of one on the other. The aims of the studies here presented were explore the relation between primary headaches and TMD focusing on prevalence of both in a populational sample, as well as to clarify the relation between TMD sub-types and TMD chronic pain severity on diagnostic and frequency of primary headaches. Sudies were conducted on two different samples, one of them a populational sample and the other a clinical sample. Data from the populational study was collected using two different questionnaires about TMD symptoms and headache features, based on International Headache Society criterias, applied by means a telephone call. On clinical study data related to headache was collected using the sample questionnaire, and TMD was classified using the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD). It was found that TMD symptoms are more common in migraine, episodic tension-type headache (ETTH) and chronic daily headache (CDH) relative to individuals without headache in both samples. Magnitude of association is higher... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Cefaleias primárias são decorrentes de disfunção cerebral e incluem migrânea, cefaleia do tipo tensional, cefaleias trigêmino-autonômicas e outras. Diversos fatores podem desencadear crises de cefaleia, mas os odores, especialmente o perfume, estão associados à migrânea. Objetivos: Caracterizar a estimulação olfatória como fator desencadeante de crises de cefaleia e de diferenciação entre migrânea e outras cefaleias primárias. Sujeitos e Métodos: O estudo foi prospectivo, experimental, randomizado com comparação de grupos, realizado no período de março a junho de 2015. Foram convidados 158 voluntários (73 homens e 85 mulheres) diagnosticados com cefaleias primárias, de acordo com os critérios da International Classification of Headache Disorders, Third Edition (beta version) (ICHD-3β). O estudo foi realizado por dois examinadores; atribuiu-se ao primeiro, diagnosticar a presença e o tipo de cefaleia primária, enquanto o segundo foi responsável pela exposição dos voluntários ao odor e pelo registro dos efeitos dessa exposição. Resultados: Dos 158 voluntários com cefaleia, houve 72 (45,6%) casos de migrânea e 86 (54,4%) com outras cefaleias primárias. Dos 72 migranosos, 53 (73,6%) eram mulheres e 19 (26,4%), homens e dos 86 casos de outras cefaleias primárias, 32 (37,2%) eram mulheres e 54 (62,8%), homens. A idade dos voluntários com migrânea e com outras cefaleias primárias foi, respectivamente, 22,5±3,10 e 22,9±3,10 anos. Essas diferenças não foram significantes (tmédias=0,666; p=0,566). Nos dois grupos, houve diferença nas características da cefaleia (c2=4,132; p=0,046). O odor desencadeou cefaleia (25/72; 34,7%) e náusea (5/72; 6,9%) apenas nos voluntários com migrânea, correspondendo a 19,0% (30/158) da amostra e em nenhum com outras cefaleias primárias (χ²=43,78; p<0,001). A cefaleia ocorreu mais frequentemente associada à náusea (p=0,146) e de localização bilateral (p=0,002) nos migranosos que apresentaram cefaleia desencadeada por odor. A cefaleia foi desencadeada após 118,0±24,6 min e a náusea após 72,8±84,7 min da exposição ao odor. Conclusões: O odor desencadeou crises de cefaleia ou náusea apenas nos pacientes com migrânea. Portanto, cefaleia desencadeada por odores poderá ser considerada um fator de diferenciação entre migrânea e outras cefaleias primárias e esse gatilho parece muito específico da migrânea.
Primary headaches are due to brain dysfunction and include migraine, tension-type headache, trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias and others. Several factors can trigger headache attacks, but odors, especially perfume, are associated with migraine. Objectives: To characterize the olfactory stimulation as a trigger of headaches and differentiation of crises between migraine and other primary headaches. Subjects and Method: The study was prospective, experimental, randomized with comparison of groups and conducted from March to June 2015. One hundred fifty-eight volunteers (73 men and 85 women) were diagnosed with primary headaches, according to criteria of the International Classification of Headache Disorders, third edition (beta version) (ICHD-3β). The study was conducted by two examiners and assigned to the first to diagnose the presence and type of primary headache, while the second was responsible for exposing the volunteers to odor and the recording the effects of this exposure. Results: Of the 158 volunteers with headache, there were 72 (45.6%) cases of migraine and 86 (54.4%) with other primary headaches. Of the 72 migraineurs, 53 (73.6%) were female and 19 (26.4%) male and 86 cases of other primary headaches, 32 (37.2%) were female and 54 (62.8%) male. The age of subjects with migraine and other primary headache was, respectively, 22.5 ± 3.10 and 22.9 ± 3.10 years. These differences were not significant (tmean=0.666; p=0.566). In both groups, there were differences in headache characteristics (c2=4.132; p=0.046). Headache attacks (25/72; 34.7%) and nausea (5/72; 6.9%) were triggered only in subjects with migraine, corresponding to 19.0% (30/158) of the sample, but in no with other primary headaches (χ²=43.78; p<0.001). Headache occurred more often associated with nausea (p=0.146) and bilateral location (p=0.002) in migraineurs who had headache triggered by odor. Headache was triggered after 118.0±24.6 min and nausea after 72.8±84.7 min of exposure to odor. Conclusions: The odor triggered headache attacks or nausea only in migraineurs. Therefore, headache triggered by odors may be considered a factor of differentiation between migraine and other primary headaches and this trigger seems very specific of migraine.

Beyond being prevalent and disabling disorders, limited evidence also suggest that specific headache disorders and TMD are comorbid. Controversies regarding this relation include the specificity of the association and the influence of severity of one on the other. The aims of the studies here presented were explore the relation between primary headaches and TMD focusing on prevalence of both in a populational sample, as well as to clarify the relation between TMD sub-types and TMD chronic pain severity on diagnostic and frequency of primary headaches. Sudies were conducted on two different samples, one of them a populational sample and the other a clinical sample. Data from the populational study was collected using two different questionnaires about TMD symptoms and headache features, based on International Headache Society criterias, applied by means a telephone call. On clinical study data related to headache was collected using the sample questionnaire, and TMD was classified using the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD). It was found that TMD symptoms are more common in migraine, episodic tension-type headache (ETTH) and chronic daily headache (CDH) relative to individuals without headache in both samples. Magnitude of association is higher... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Full textDoctors belonging to a Medical Services Cooperative in Campina Grande were interviewed with the objective to determine their diagnostic accuracy when faced with clinical cases of primary headache, and also to appreciate the amplitude of their knowledge about headache classification and procedures concerning exams prescriptions and therapeutic indications. Methodology. The method of extensive direct observation through the application of a questionnaire was used. The doctors were presented with three fictitious clinical histories which represented situations of frequent primary migraines such as: migraine with aura (MA), migraine without aura (MO) and chronic tensional-type headache (CTTH) according to criteria established on International Headache Classification, second edition (IHCD-II), 2003, by the Headache Classification Subcommittee as part of the International Headache Society (IHS). 173 out of 462 doctors members of the Cooperative were contacted and 91 of these accepted to take part in the study. Results. In the group of 91 doctors interviewed, 51 (56%) were male, 35 (38,5%) were female and five (5,5%) refused to answer. Their age varied from 27 to 70 years old (44,8 + 09 years old). Their experience as doctors varied from three to 46 years (21,4 + 8,2 years). 67 (73.6%) stated to have been in a medical internship. The doctors interviewed were doctors of several areas. About the accuracy of the diagnostic test, concerning MO, 60 participants (66%) identified the case as migraine, only two (2,2%) identified the MO subtype and two (2,2%) suggested it was a case of mere headache. For the clinical case of MA, 25 doctors (27,5%) said it was a case of migraine and only one (1,1%) identified it as MA. About the diagnostic of CTTH, 12 doctors (13,2%) acknowledged it as tensional headache and there was not any reference to the CTTH subgroup. Among other possibilities of diagnostic, the most mentioned ones were migraine 36 (39,6%), secondary headache to systemic arterial hypertension 12 (13,2%) and headaches caused by brain expansive process 06 (6,6%). For the three clinical cases, most of the doctors researched 79 (86,8%) in the example of MO, 74 (81,3%) in the cases of MA and 71 (78%) in the example of CTTH wouldn´t prescribe complementary exams. Regarding treatment 77 (84,6%) in the case of MO, 80 (87,9%) in the case of MA and 67 (73,6%) in the case of CTTH decided not to treat it. Among those who forwarded the case to a neurologist, we have 67 (73,6%) for MO, 78 (85,7%) for MA and 59 (64,8%) for CTTH. 65 (71,4%) doctors who were interviewed said to be unaware of the IHS diagnostic criteria for primary headaches. Conclusion. Migraine was the most common initial diagnosis for any kind of headache without any identification of the subgroups. The CTTH was subdiagnosed being frequently misidentified as migraine cases despite it is the most prevailing kind of primary headache. Most of the doctors interviewed (p<0,05) does not prescribe complementary exams for headache patients and prefer to forward them to a specialist, choosing not to treat them. These results show the lack of information found in the doctors interviewed about the diagnostic criteria for the several kinds of primary headaches.
Foram entrevistados médicos pertencentes a uma Cooperativa de Serviços Médicos, na cidade de Campina Grande, com o objetivo de investigar a acurácia diagnóstica desses profissionais frente a casos clínicos de cefaléia primária, além de apreciar seus conhecimentos sobre a classificação das cefaléias e condutas quanto à solicitação de exames e indicações terapêuticas. Metodologia: Utilizou-se o método de observação direta extensiva através da aplicação de questionário. Foram apresentadas a todos os médicos entrevistados três histórias clínicas, fictícias, reproduzindo quadros de cefaléias primárias freqüentes, a saber: migrânea com aura (MCA), migrânea sem aura (MSA) e cefaléia do tipo tensional crônica (CTTC), seguindo os critérios da Classificação Internacional das Cefaléias, 2ª. Edição (IHCD-II), em 2003, elaborados pelo Subcomitê de Classificação das Cefaléias da Sociedade Internacional de Cefaléia (IHS). Foram contatados 173 médicos, de um total de 462 cooperados, dos quais 91 aceitaram participar do estudo. Resultados: Eles eram 51 homens (56%) e 35 mulheres (38,5%), cinco (5,5%) não identificaram o gênero. A idade variou entre 27 e 70 anos (44,8 + 09 anos). Eles tinham entre três e 46 anos de formados (21,4 + 8,2 anos). 67 (73,6%) afirmaram ter feito residência médica. Os médicos entrevistados atuavam nas mais diversas especialidades. Em relação ao índice de acerto diagnóstico, no exemplo de MSA, 60 participantes (66,2%) identificaram o quadro como migrânea, enquanto apenas dois (2,2%) identificaram o subtipo MSA e dois (2,2 %) sugeriram tratar-se apenas de cefaléia. No caso clínico de MCA, 25 (27,5%) disseram tratar-se de quadro de migrânea e apenas um (1,1%) respondeu ser MCA. Quanto ao diagnóstico de CTTC, 12 (13,2%) reconheceram tratar-se de cefaléia tensional, não houve acerto diagnóstico no subgrupo CTTC, e dentre outras possibilidades diagnósticas as mais citadas foram: migrânea 36 (39.6%), cefaléia secundária a hipertensão arterial sistêmica 12 (13,2%) e cefaléias ocasionadas por processo expansivo cerebral seis (6,6%). Nos três casos clínicos, a maior parte dos profissionais pesquisados 79 (86,8%) no exemplo de MSA, 74 (81,3%) nos casos de MCA e 71 (78%) no exemplo de CTTC - não solicitaria exames complementares. Quanto ao tratamento: 77 médicos (84,6%) no caso de MSA, 80 (87,9%) no caso de MCA e 67 (73,6%) no caso de CTTC, optaram por não tratar. Preferiram encaminhar ao neurologista: 67 médicos (73,6%) para MSA, 78 (85,7%) para MCA e 59 (64,8%) para CTTC. 65 (71,4%) dos entrevistados afirmaram desconhecer os critérios diagnósticos da IHS para cefaléias primárias. Conclusão: O diagnóstico inicial mais freqüente foi migrânea, comumente usado para identificar qualquer tipo de cefaléia, sem, contudo identificar seus subgrupos. A cefaléia do tipo tensional foi subdiagnosticada, freqüentemente sendo confundida com quadros de migrânea, a despeito de ser o tipo mais prevalente de cefaléia primária. A maioria (p<0,05) dos médicos não solicita exames complementares para portadores de cefaléia e prefere encaminhá-los ao especialista, optando por não tratar. Esses resultados demonstram a falta de informações por parte dos médicos entrevistados sobre os critérios diagnósticos para os diversos tipos de cefaléias primárias.

Full textIntroduction: In a project, it is investigated whether a newly designed web-information system can better inform medical laymen than traditional search engines and health portals. The evaluation of a system for providing information to headache patients is only useful when in fact many people suffer from headaches in the German speaking area and if these people with their complaints rather consult the Internet than a practitioner. Therefore, in three studies the prevalence of headache and the associated physician consultation rate was examined. Method: About 9000 students of the University of Applied Sciences Bremen, 2000 insurants of the BARMER, and about 1000 students of the University of Health Sciences, Medical Informatics and technology Tyrol, Austria (UMIT) were asked if they suffer from headaches and if so whether they already have a medical diagnosis. A total of 521 persons participated in the investigation. Results: From headaches suffered 292 (56%) participants. A medical diagnosis for these had 52 (18%). All in all, it shows slightly lower headache prevalence than found in previous studies. The medical consultation rate cited in the literature is confirmed. Discussion: The evaluation of the three studies showed that the prevalence of headache remains high and the associated physician consultation rate is still low

Full textOBJECTIVES. Anxiety disorders and headaches are comorbid conditions, but no research has been done on the prevalence and impact of primary headaches in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) patients. The study\'s aim was to analyze lifetime prevalence and impact of primary headaches in patients with and without generalized anxiety disorder. METHODS. Sixty participants were enrolled in the study; 30 GAD patients diagnosed according to the DSM-IV were compared to 30 healthy control subjects. All patients were interviewed for psychiatric assessment using the SCID-I/P. Primary headaches were diagnosed using ICHD-II criteria for structured interview. RESULTS. Migraine was the most common diagnosis in generalized anxiety disorder patients. The prevalence of migraine was highest among GAD patients as opposed to controls (66.7% vs 13.3%; p<0.001; OR=13.00; 95% CI=3.55-47.6), episodic migraine (43.3% vs 10%; p=0.004; OR=6.88; 95% CI=1.71-27.75), chronic daily headache (20% vs 0; p=0.024) and aura (26.6% vs 3.3%; p=0.026; OR=10.55; 95% CI=1.23-90.67). Tension Type Headache (TTH) was equal for controls and the GAD group (20% vs 33.3%; p=0.243).The characteristics of migraines (frequency, intensity, duration, and consumption of analgesics), symptoms such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, and daytime sleepiness, as well as the medical-social consequences (functional incapacity, use of health services and quality of life) were worse in GAD patients than in controls. CONCLUSION. Primary headaches in general, and migraine in particular, are significantly more common in GAD patients than controls. GAD aggravates headaches. Primary headache diagnosis is important for anxiety disorder patients, particularly those with GAD, since correct assessment may lead to better patient management and clinical outcomes.
