BACKGROUND Unruptured saccular intracranial aneurysm (SIA) is associated with an increased prevalence of migraine, but it is unclear whether this is altered by clipping of the aneurysm. The aim of our study was to determine whether remission rate of migraine and other recurrent headaches was greater in patients with SIA after clipping than in controls. METHODS We prospectively studied 87 SIA ...

Primary headaches represent highly prevalent diseases in childhood and adolescence. Unlike in adulthood, in children the most common primary headache is migraine, while tension-type headache (TTH) is less diffused, especially up to 10 years of age. Cluster headache is to be considered exceptional, showing a prevalence of 0.1%. While in TTH painful attacks are often of weak intensity and do not ...

Primary headache disorders are frequently encountered in the pediatric population. The therapeutic approach consists of a multimodal program, including lifestyle modification, psychotherapeutic intervention, pharmacotherapy, and complementary measures. This systematic review focuses on the pharmacotherapy of pediatric migraine and tension-type headache (TTH). In addition to the general treatmen...

INTRODUCTION Different types of headaches and TMJ click influence the masseter muscle activity. The aim of this study was to assess the trend of energy level of the electromyography (EMG) activity of the masseter muscle during open-close clench cycles in migraine without aura (MOA) and tension-type headache (TTH) with or without TMJ click. METHODS Twenty-five women with MOA and twenty four wo...

Background and Objective. Primary headaches is a major medical concern in certain Arabic countries, for example Oman, Jordan, and Qatar. This study was aimed at increasing understanding of the prevalence of headache in Arabic countries and identifying common medications used for treatment because of the lack of research done in this field in Yemen. Methods. This is a cross-sectional observation...

who had previous experience in MTrPs identification and had completed training sessions to ensure treatment standardization. Detuned ultrasonography was used in the placebo group. The wait-list group received no treatments but was involved in all outcomes measured. Six participants withdrew from the trial. Headache diaries, maintained by all participants, showed that compared with baseline, a s...

BACKGROUND There is little knowledge about how factors early in life affect the development of migraine and tension-type headache. We aimed to examine whether growth restriction in utero is associated with development of migraine and frequent tension-type headache in adults. METHODS The population-based Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT 3) contained a validated headache questionnaire, which d...

We studied the safety and efficacy of 0 U, 50 U, 100 U, 150 U (five sites), 86 Usub and 100 Usub (three sites) botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA; BOTOX); Allergan, Inc., Irvine, CA, USA) for the prophylaxis of chronic tension-type headache (CTTH). Three hundred patients (62.3% female; mean age 42.6 years) enrolled. For the primary endpoint, the mean change from baseline in the number of TTH-free da...

The aim of this study is to examine the influence of depression on headache onset following laboratory stress and on psychophysiological variables associated with tension-type headaches (TTHs). Diagnostic interviews identified three groups: headache prone and depressed (HP/D, N = 13); headache prone not depressed (HP/ND, N = 22); and healthy controls (HC, N = 13). Ss completed a laboratory stre...
