Chronic daily headache (CDH) represents a challenge in clinical practice and the scientific field. CDH with onset in children and adolescents represent a matchless opportunity to understand mechanisms involved in adult CDH. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnosis, prognosis and psychiatric co-morbidity of CDH with young onset in the young. Fifty-nine CDH patients has been followed from 1997 to 2001 in our department. Headache and psychiatric diagnoses were made on the basis of the international system of classification (International Headache Society, 1988; DSM-IV). Chi2 test and multinomial logistic regressions were applied to analyse factors predicting outcome. The current diagnostic system allows a diagnosis in 80% of CDH patients, even if age-related characteristics have been evidenced. Psychiatric disorders are notable in CDH (about 64% of patients) and predict (mainly anxiety) a poorer outcome. Surprisingly, analgesic overuse is not involved in the chronicization process. Diagnosis of CDH needs further study. Psychiatric disorders predict a worse outcome and greater account should be taken of them in treatment planning. 相似文献

Thirty-eight patients with "chronic daily" headache and ergotamine and/or analgesics abuse according to the criteria proposed by the international Headache Society were re-investigated 5 years after inpatient drug withdrawal. At the end of the observation period, 19 patients (50.0%) had their headaches on only 8 days per month or less, 18 patients (47.4%) were free of symptoms or had only mild headaches. A close correlation was found between the frequency of headache and the duration of drug abuse, as well as between the intensity of headache and the number of tablets taken per month. Frequency and intensity of headache had changed within the first 2 years after withdrawal, but remained stable afterwards. Fifteen patients (39.5%) reported on recurrent drug abuse. Patients with migraine showed a tendency towards a better prognosis compared to patients with tension-type headache or with combined migraine and tension-type headache. The results of this study highlight the long-term efficacy of inpatient drug withdrawal in patients with headache and ergotamine and/or analgesics abuse. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the possible existence of a genetically determined innate factor that could exert a profound influence on the development of analgesic overuse in chronic tension-type headache (CTTH). BACKGROUND: Many patients with CTTHs report the regular use of analgesics. Continuous use of analgesics results in the ultimate worsening of headaches. The factors related to development of analgesic overuse, however, remain poorly understood. The genetic factors for serotonin metabolism and the harm avoidance (HA) personality dimension are known to be associated with various substance abuse patterns. DESIGN: We performed serotonin transporter protein (5-HTT) gene-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) genotype polymorphism analyses, and investigated serotonin-related personality traits by assessing the HA dimension using tridimensional personality questionnaire, given to 48 patients with CTTHs and reported analgesic overuse (CTTH-AO), in 50 patients with CTTHs without analgesic overuse (CTTH-NO), and in 100 healthy controls. We compared their headache characteristics using standardized questionnaires. RESULTS: We discovered an excess frequency of 5-HTTLPR short allele and a different genotypic distribution in patients with CTTH-AO. The S/S genotype frequency was significantly higher in patients with CTTH-AO (83%) than in CTTH-NO (72%) and control (59%; P= .010) groups. Patients with CTTH-AO exhibited the highest HA scores (23.3 +/- 5.4), as compared to CTTH-NO (19.9 +/- 6.7) and control (16.3 +/- 6.1) groups. Individuals with the S/S genotype showed a greater tendency toward analgesic overuse (13.3 +/- 11.3 days per month) than did those with the non-S/S genotype (7.0 +/- 8.6 days per month: P= .02). CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that serotonergic activity may be involved in the development of analgesic overuse in CTTH and that 5-HTTLPR might be one of the genetically contributing factors. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine (1) the clinical course of a sample of chronic migraine patients with drug overuse 6 and 12 months following in-patient treatment and (2) whether functional impairment, assessed by the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire, improved upon treatment. BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic migraine and medication overuse are particularly difficult to treat (prophylactic medications that otherwise are effective become ineffective; discontinuation of the offending medication can lead to withdrawal headache; physical and emotional dependence can be present, as well as increased psychological involvement; initial treatment gains can be difficult to maintain). METHODS: Of the 106 patients meeting criteria for chronic migraine with medication overuse, 84 went on to complete a structured in-patient treatment, consisting of medication withdrawal and then prophylactic treatment. RESULTS: As a group, the patients were improved at both 6- and 12-month follow-up, with respect to two headache parameters (frequency and medication use) and three measures of functional impact extracted from the MIDAS questionnaire (Total Score, Headache Frequency, and Headache Intensity). CONCLUSION: Chronic migraine accompanied with medication overuse led to the considerable disability prior to treatment. However, notable improvement occurred coincident with the treatment. This suggests that successful treatment has more wide-ranging positive benefits beyond mere symptom reduction. To our knowledge, this is the first investigation where the MIDAS questionnaire has been used prospectively as an outcome measure in patients with chronic migraine and medication overuse to assess disability subsequent to a semi-standardized treatment program. 相似文献

One hundred and one patients suffering from chronic daily headache (CDH) and medication overuse were treated, in an in-patient setting, with abrupt discontinuation of the medication overused, intravenous hydrating, and intravenous administration of benzodiazepines and ademetionine. The mean time to CDH resolution was 8.8 days. The in-patient withdrawal protocol used was effective, safe and well tolerated. There was a trend for a shorter time to CDH resolution in patients who overused triptans (P=0.062). There was no correlation between time to CDH resolution and either the type of initial primary headache or duration of medication abuse, whereas time to CDH resolution was related to daily drug intake (P=0.01). In multiple regression analysis, daily drug intake, age and type of medication overused were independent predictors of time to CDH resolution. At 3-months' follow-up, no patient had relapsed and was again overusing symptomatic medications. 相似文献

5HT in migraine patients with medication-induced headache 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
R Hering V Glover K Pattichis T Catarci TJ Steiner 《Cephalalgia : an international journal of headache》1993,13(6):410-412
Whole blood 5HT levels were measured in seven female migraine sufferers with chronic daily headache due to medication abuse, before and after abrupt medication withdrawal. A statistically significant increase in 5HT levels, from mean 4.89 mmol/1 to mean 6.59 mmol/l ( p < 0.05, Wilcoxon signed rank test), as well as a significant improvement in the number of headache-free days ( p < 0.05, Wilcoxon signed rank test), occurred after 4 weeks of withdrawal. We conclude from this pilot study that 5HT may be important in the physiopathogenesis of chronic daily headache. Alternatively, reduced 5HT may be the result of chronic daily headache or else an epiphenomenon. 相似文献

Repetitive intravenous prochlorperazine treatment of patients with refractory chronic daily headache
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the efficacy and long-term outcome of intravenous prochlorperazine for the treatment of refractory chronic daily headache. BACKGROUND: Unlike dihydroergotamine, the treatment results of intravenous neuroleptics as first-line agents for refractory chronic daily headache have rarely been reported. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the data of inpatients with refractory chronic daily headache who received intravenous repetitive prochlorperazine treatment from November 1996 to March 1999. A semistructured telephone follow-up interview was done in September 1999. RESULTS: A total of 135 patients (44 men, 91 women) were recruited, including 95 (70%) with analgesic overuse. After intravenous prochlorperazine treatment, 121 (90%) achieved a 50% or greater reduction of headache intensity, including 85 (63%) who became headache-free. The mean hospital stay was 6.2 +/- 2.7 days, and mean total prochlorperazine used was 98 +/- 48 mg. Acute extrapyramidal symptoms occurred in 21 patients (16%). One hundred twenty-four patients (92%) were successfully followed up, with a mean duration of 14.3 +/- 7.5 months. Compared with pretreatment status, 93 patients (75%) considered their headache intensity decreased, and 86 patients (69%) considered their headache frequency decreased, although 40 (32%) still had a daily headache. Of the 87 patients with analgesic overuse who could be followed, 61 (70%) no longer overused analgesics. Poor response to prochlorperazine treatment (relative risk, 1.8) and presence of major depression (relative risk, 1.8) were predictors of persistent chronic daily headache at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Prochlorperazine was effective and safe in the treatment of patients with refractory chronic daily headache with or without analgesic overuse. Compared with dihydroergotamine, prochlorperazine seemed less effective at achieving "freedom from headache" during hospitalization, but had a similar outcome at follow-up. 相似文献

Objective.— The object of this study is to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of headache in Korean professional women breath-hold divers, including their overuse of analgesics.
Background.— Headache is a common problem encountered in clinical practice, and undersea divers exhibit unique causes of headache in addition to other common primary headaches. Many scuba divers are known to use various types of drugs to overcome dive-related symptoms or to enhance their underwater performance.
Methods.— The target population of this study was women divers in the northern district of Jeju Island who were registered in the divers' union. Data were collected using telephone interviews with a structured questionnaire. Headache was diagnosed and classified according to criteria of the International Headache Society.
Results.— Nine hundred and eleven (80.3%) divers responded to the telephone interview. The prevalence rates of headache were 21.4% for tension-type headache and 9.1% for migraine. One hundred and four divers (11.4%) fulfilled the criteria for chronic daily headache (CDH). Overuse of combination analgesics was reported by 70.7% of divers. Women divers with CDH were significantly older and they complained more of tinnitus and dizziness, and had a greater history of hypertension than divers without headache.
Conclusion.— The prevalence of CDH is high in Korean professional women breath-hold divers, with many of them being combination-analgesics overusers. 相似文献

Prophylactic pharmacological treatment of chronic daily headache 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Objective.—To review all the prophylactic pharmacological treatments for chronic daily headache from the past decade.
Background.—Chronic daily headache is among the most common diagnoses seen in specialized headache centers. Prior to 1988, there were no criteria for the diagnosis of chronic tension-type headache and chronic daily headache. An expanded chronic daily headache classification has been proposed.
Methods.—A MEDLINE search was performed using the following key words: chronic daily headache, intractable headache, transformed migraine, chronic tension headache, and chronic tension-type headache. We limited our review to those studies published in English in the last decade, including published abstracts and letters to the editor. Double-blind studies carried out prior to 1988 were also included.
Results.—Pharmacological treatments for chronic daily headache include antidepressants (tricyclics, tetracyclics, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), anticonvulsants, muscle relaxants, 5-HT1 agonists, ergots, 5-HT2 antagonists, antianxiety agents, and miscellaneous drugs. Many of these reports are anecdotal, and most are open rather than double-blind studies.
Conclusions.—There is a great variety of pharmacological treatments available for chronic daily headache. Only the antidepressants have been extensively studied. Other medications may be used if these fail. Recommendations based on our experience at the Headache Unit of the Montefiore Medical Center are outlined here. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether cumulated summed differences (cusums) can be used as a method for detecting effective interventions in chronic daily headache (CDH). If so, then can such interventions be detected sooner than 28 days? BACKGROUND: CDH probably represents the greatest current challenge in the field of headache treatment. Clinical trial methodologies for its study are not standardized but usually use fixed 28-day observation periods. Similarly, 28-day observation periods are common review intervals for stepped-care patient management strategies. METHODS: A theoretical patient was modeled, with daily headache scores that had maximal variation for 28 consecutive daily measures. The cusums for this "norm" or control data set were plotted and correlated with time using a simple spreadsheet. Departure of a postintervention cusum from the 95% confidence interval of the control data set was chosen as an indicator of sensitivity to various model perturbations that had clinical correlates. RESULTS: When 1 to 17 randomly distributed headache-free days were used to perturb the 28-day model, cusums consistently diverged from the norm. If at least 3 headache-free days occurred, then the cusum detected the intervention in less than 28 days of observation. Reanalysis of a previously published study of magnesium oxide suggests that its negative conclusions should be reconsidered. CONCLUSION: Cusums can be useful tools for detecting change in CDH, whether at the level of the clinical trial or when managing patients using stepped-care treatment algorithms. 相似文献

Intravenous lignocaine (lidocaine) infusion for the treatment of chronic daily headache with substantial medication overuse 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Patients with chronic daily headache with medication overuse are difficult to treat, especially when the doses of analgesia are substantial. We have previously shown that intravenous lignocaine (lidocaine) infusion is useful in maintaining pain control while the offending analgesic agent is withdrawn in these patients. The published data on long-term efficacy of this treatment is limited. We undertook a retrospective survey of 71 consecutive patients admitted for lignocaine infusion (mean 8.7 days) for treatment of chronic daily headache, with substantial analgesic abuse. Ninety percent of patients had a history of migraine headaches. In 80% of patients codeine was the predominant agent implicated in the analgesic rebound headaches (mean 1053 mg/week) and 24% used ergotamine-containing medications (mean 16 mg/week). Thirty-one percent frequently used injected narcotics. At completion 90% reported that their daily headache was absent or improved, and the analgesic agent was withdrawn successfully in 97%. At six month follow-up, 70% of patients reported that their daily headache was absent or improved and 72% of patients remained free of the offending analgesic agent. Intravenous lignocaine is a useful treatment in the management of chronic daily headache with substantial medication overuse. The benefits of the program last for at least six months. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To describe an outpatient regimen for analgesic detoxification and resolution of analgesic rebound headache. BACKGROUND: Frequent analgesic use is believed to promote the transformation of episodic migraine into a chronic, pervasive headache syndrome. Management of pain precipitated by analgesic withdrawal is crucial to treatment success. Outpatient treatment protocols designed to achieve successful withdrawal will reduce costs and potentially lead to more widespread implementation of therapy. METHODS: Patients with appropriate histories were managed on an outpatient basis for detoxification by discontinuation of the offending analgesic and initiation of treatment with tizanidine and a long-acting nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Patients kept diaries of pain and medication use. Results were evaluated at 6 and 12 weeks. Patients able to tolerate no or trivial analgesic use (ie, 4 or fewer doses in each 2-week period) were considered responders. RESULTS: At 6 weeks, 36 patients (65%) were responders. At 12 weeks, 38 patients (69%) were responders. The chronic daily headache pattern had resolved at 12 weeks in 34 patients (62%). CONCLUSIONS: This treatment protocol was well tolerated and yielded a high degree of efficacy, demonstrating that outpatient management can be effective for achieving analgesic withdrawal and resolution of analgesic rebound headache. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether opiate overuse might cause chronic daily headache in those with migraine, we studied patients who were taking codeine (or other opiates) for control of bowel motility after colectomy for ulcerative colitis. BACKGROUND: Analgesic overuse is considered by many to be one factor which can result in the transformation of migraine into a chronic daily headache pattern. Most of the evidence for this comes from patients with migraine who are taking increasing amounts of analgesia for headache. Many of these patients revert to an intermittent migraine pattern once the analgesics are stopped. METHODS: Women who were 1 year postcolectomy for ulcerative colitis were identified in several colorectal surgery practices in Calgary. They were sent a questionnaire designed to determine if they had a history of migraine prior to surgery, if they currently had chronic daily headache, what medications they were taking to control bowel motility, and what medications they were taking for headache. RESULTS: Twenty-eight patients who met our inclusion criteria returned completed questionnaires. Eight of these exceeded the recommended limits for opiate use in patients with headache. Eight patients met diagnostic criteria for migraine. Two patients had chronic daily headache starting after surgery. Both used daily opiates beginning after their surgery, and both had a history of migraine. The other six patients who used opiates daily did not have a history of migraine and did not have chronic daily headache. All patients with migraine who used daily opiates to control bowel motility following surgery developed chronic daily headache after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with migraine who use daily opiates for any reason are at high risk of developing transformed migraine with chronic daily headache. This risk appears much lower in patients without a history of migraine who use opiates for nonpain indications. 相似文献

Traditionally, episodic primary headache disorders are characterized by a return of preheadache (normal) neurologic function between episodes of headache. In contrast, patients with chronic headache often do not return to normal neurologic function between headache attacks. This article proposes that the evolution from episodic migraine to chronic headache may parallel the neurologic disruption observed during the progression of an acute migraine attack and that changes in baseline neurologic function between episodes of headache may be a more sensitive indicator of headache transformation than headache frequency alone. Early recognition of nonheadache changes in nervous system function may offer a more sensitive and specific approach to migraine prevention. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To prospectively document the outcome of patients suspected of having rebound headache. BACKGROUND: Previous publications on rebound headache have, for the most part, implied that the patients improve, but have failed to specify the percent who improved, the pattern of improvement, or the end point that is achieved. METHODS: This was a prospective study of 50 consecutive patients presenting with chronic daily headache of over 2 months' duration who were suspected of having rebound headache from the medications that they were using for pain relief, and who were eligible to follow our usual treatment protocol, ie, abrupt termination of the offending medications and use of subcutaneous injections of dihydroergotamine for excruciating headache. RESULTS: One year after the initial patient was enrolled and 8 months after the last patient was enrolled, 29 patients (58%) achieved the goal of 6 or more consecutive headache-free days; the mean time to achieve this goal was 84 days. Another 9 patients showed varying degrees of improvement; 1 continued to improve and achieved 5 consecutive headache-free days after having omitted her medications for 10 months. Eleven patients failed to stop their medications or stopped their medications for only a brief interval. One patient continued to have daily headaches after having essentially omitted all pain relief medications for 12 months and was the only true treatment failure in the group. CONCLUSIONS: Most patients suspected of having rebound headache comply with the instructions to omit the offending agents and can be helped. This information might help other physicians who are treating patients suspected of having rebound headache. 相似文献

Chronic daily headache (CDH) associated with long-term misuse of headache medication is a common clinical problem which is refractory to most treatments. The present study is a retrospective analysis of the effect of drug withdrawal therapy in patients with CDH and frequent long-term use of headache symptomatic medication. One hundred and one adult patients (74 women and 27 men, aged between 16 and 72 years, mean age 43 years) were evaluated 1-3 months after drug withdrawal therapy had been initiated. The mean headache frequency at baseline was 26.9+/-4.0 days per month. Fifty-seven (56%) patients were significantly improved (defined as at least 50% reduction in number of headache days) after a period of drug withdrawal therapy. Based on the outcome of the drug withdrawal therapy, the patients were divided into three categories: group I, those who had between 0 and 10 headache days per month (n = 41), group II, those who had 11-20 days (n = 37), and group III, those who had 21-30 days (n = 23). The mean headache frequencies in groups I, II and III were 5.6+/-2.8 days, 15.7+/-2.5 days and 28.7+/-2.4 days, respectively. Treatment with amitriptyline was offered to patients in whom no improvement had been achieved. Ten of those 22 patients (36%) experienced a significant (> or = 50%) reduction of headache days. It is concluded that out-patient drug withdrawal therapy is the treatment of choice in patients with CDH and frequent long-term use of headache symptomatic medication, and that about one quarter of these CDH patients do not respond to drug withdrawal therapy only. 相似文献
