Objective: Migraine headaches affect about approximately 15% of the population and some notable efforts have been made to develop meditation interventions to address pain and mood among this population. However, key active ingredients and the necessary duration of meditation interventions to produce an effect are still unknown. The purpose of this study is to assess key meditation ingredients that positively impact mood and headache factors across different meditation techniques and to establish an initial time or” dose” needed to reach proactive treatment efficacy.Method: In this longitudinal study, three active management forms of meditation were compared to a cognitive distraction meditation to assess the effects on migraine headaches and emotions over a 30 day period when practiced 20 min per day.Results: The active group showed significant decreases in anger (p = .005) and migraine pain (p = .002) over time. Further analysis showed that the bulk of the change for the active management group occurred in the final 10 days, after 20 days of practice of the technique (p < .05).Conclusion: This suggests that cognitively active forms of meditation are more effective in reducing migraine headache pain and negative mood than distraction techniques. However, individuals engaging in these strategies need to consistently practice these techniques for approximately 20 days to proactively reduce migraine headache pain and negative mood. 相似文献

BackgroundThe FOCUS study evaluated the efficacy of migraine preventive medications across different countries within the same patient population, particularly for patients with difficult-to-treat migraine. These prespecified subgroup analyses evaluated efficacy by country in the FOCUS study of fremanezumab in adults with episodic migraine or chronic migraine and documented inadequate response to 2 to 4 migraine preventive medication classes.MethodsOverall, 838 participants were enrolled in the FOCUS study, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, phase 3b study performed at 104 sites. For 12 weeks of double-blind treatment, patients were randomized (1:1:1) to quarterly fremanezumab, monthly fremanezumab, or matched placebo. The primary efficacy endpoint was the mean change from baseline in monthly average migraine days over 12 weeks of double-blind treatment, evaluated by country in these subgroup analyses.ResultsOf 14 countries contributing data, the Czech Republic (n = 188/838; 22%), the United States (n = 120/838; 14%), and Finland (n = 85/838; 10%) enrolled the most patients. Changes from baseline in monthly average migraine days over 12 weeks were significantly greater with fremanezumab versus placebo for patients in these countries: Czech Republic (least-squares mean difference versus placebo [95% confidence interval]: quarterly fremanezumab, − 1.9 [− 3.25, − 0.47]; P = 0.009; monthly fremanezumab, − 3.0 [− 4.39, − 1.59]; P < 0.001), the United States (quarterly fremanezumab, − 3.7 [− 5.77, − 1.58]; P < 0.001; monthly fremanezumab, − 4.2 [− 6.23, − 2.13]; P < 0.001), and Finland (quarterly fremanezumab, − 3.0 [− 5.32, − 0.63]; P = 0.014; monthly fremanezumab, − 3.9 [− 6.27, − 1.44]; P = 0.002). Results were comparable for the remaining 9 countries, with the least-squares mean difference versus placebo ranging from – 5.6 to – 2.4 with quarterly fremanezumab and from − 5.3 to − 1.5 with monthly fremanezumab. Incidences of serious adverse events and adverse events leading to discontinuation were low and comparable across countries and treatment groups.ConclusionsMonthly and quarterly fremanezumab significantly reduced the monthly average number of migraine days versus placebo regardless of country and continent (North America versus Europe) in migraine patients with documented inadequate response to 2 to 4 migraine preventive medication classes.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: .Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s10194-021-01232-8.

We evaluated the association of body mass index (BMI) with migraine and migraine specifics in a cross-sectional study of 63 467 women aged ≥ 45 years, of whom 12 613 (19.9%) reported any history of migraine and 9195 had active migraine. Compared with women without migraine and a BMI < 23 kg/m2 , women with a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 had adjusted odds ratios (ORs) (95% confidence intervals) of 1.03 (0.95, 1.12) for any history of migraine. Findings were similar for active migraineurs. Women with a BMI of ≥ 35 kg/m2 had increased risk for low and high migraine frequency, with the highest estimate for women who reported daily migraine. Compared with women with the lowest associated risk (migraine frequency < 6 times/year; BMI between 27.0 and 29.9 kg/m2 ), women with a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 had an OR of daily migraine of 3.11 (1.12, 8.67). Among the women with active migraine, a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 was associated with increased risk of phonophobia and photophobia and decreased risk of a unilateral pain characteristic and migraine aura. Our data confirm previous findings that the association between BMI with migraine is limited to migraine frequency and specific migraine features. 相似文献

Pain perception studies in migraine patients have shown trigeminal and peripheral pain facilitation during the migraine attack.
We were interested in differences of trigeminal and peripheral pain perception between migraine patients during the migraine
interval and healthy subjects. Perception of electrical pain stimulation was measured in 20 migraine subjects outside a migraine
attack (10 migraine with aura and 10 migraine without aura) and in 20 healthy subjects. We recorded sensory and pain thresholds,
pain ratings after suprathreshold stimulation, and pain rating after two trains of repetitive stimulation (i.e., pain facilitation).
Migraine subjects showed a significantly higher pain rating after suprathreshold stimulation in the trigeminal region as compared
to healthy subjects (4.8 ± 1.6 versus 3.8 ± 2.2, p < 0.04 after Bonferroni correction) but not in the peripheral region. Furthermore,
migraine subjects showed a pain facilitation after repetitive trigeminal stimulation whereas healthy subjects showed a pain
habituation. We observed no significant differences between migraine subjects and healthy subjects for all parameters in the
peripheral stimulation. Migraine patients with and without aura did not differ in any parameter. All subjects showed decreased
sensory and pain thresholds after trigeminal as compared to peripheral stimulation. Migraine subjects show an increased pain
perception after trigeminal but not after peripheral pain stimulation as compared to healthy subjects. This phenomenon is
probably due to the observed pain facilitation after painful trigeminal stimulation. 相似文献

Background
Depression and anxiety are two phenomena that affect quality of life as well as sexual function. Depression and anxiety levels are reported to be high in migraine sufferers. We aimed to understand whether sexual function in women with migraine was associated to migraine-related disability and frequency of migraine attacks, and whether this relationship was modulated by depressive and anxiety symptoms.Methods
As migraine is more commonly seen in females, a total of 50 women with migraine were included. The diagnosis of migraine with or without aura was confirmed by two specialists in Neurology, according to the second edition of International Headache Society (IHS) International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-II) in 2004. Migraine disability assessment scale score, female sexual function index scores, Beck depression inventory score and Beck anxiety inventory scores.Results
Mean MIDAS score was 19.3 ± 12.8, and mean number of migraine attacks per month were 4.3 ± 2.7. Mean Female Sexual Function Index score was 20.9 ± 5.9 and 90% of patients had sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction was not related to MIDAS score or frequency and severity of attacks. No relationship between sexual function and anxiety was found, whereas severity of depressive symptoms was closely related to sexual function. Depressive symptoms affected all dimensions of sexual function, except for pain.Conclusion
Sexual dysfunction seemed to be very common in our patients with migraine, while not related to migraine related disability, frequency of attacks and migraine severity or anxiety. The most important factor that predicted sexual function was depression, which was also independent of disease severity and migraine related disability. While future larger scale studies are needed to clarify the exact relationship, depressive and sexual problems should be properly addressed in all patients with migraine, regardless of disease severity or disability. 相似文献6.
The classification of patients with migraine who develop chronic daily headache is controversial, with some classifying such patients as 'transformed migraine'. We compared patients with intermittent migraine attacks and patients with transformed migraine in terms of mean headache intensity on days with headache, depression, pain-related anxiety and headache-related disability. Patients classified clinically as also having tension-type headache were excluded. Aside from the number of days with headache per month, patients with intermittent migraine attacks and patients with transformed migraine were very similar in terms of all parameters studied. Our results support the concept that these two headache groups are closely related. 相似文献

Abstract
Clinical studies suggest that hyperhomocysteinemia could
be considered an independent risk factor for premature cerebral,
peripheral and vascular diseases. A number of authors found an
epidemiological correlation between increased risk of
cerebrovascular disease and migraine with aura. In this study,
34 patients suffering from migraine with aura and 36 healthy
controls were evaluated with respect to total plasma
homocysteine levels, measured with FPIA immunoassay in the
fasting state and after methionine load. Moreover, vitamin B12,
folate and other classic biochemical indicators of
atherosclerosis disease were evaluated. In this study,
homocysteine levels, both at basal and after load, and other
cardiovascular risk factors such as vitamin B12 and apo-LpA were
within the normal range. Other multicentric randomised trials
are needed to carry on and confirm these data. 相似文献

Objective
To describe the frequency, intensity, and impact of pain in persons with postpoliomyelitis syndrome (PPS).Design
Retrospective, cross-sectional survey.Setting
Community-based survey.Participants
Convenience sample of people with PPS.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Overall intensity and duration of pain, pain sites, pain interference, pain treatments, and relief provided by pain treatments.Results
A total of 91% (n=57) of the study participants (N=63) reported pain. The most frequently reported pain sites were the shoulders, lower back, legs, and hips. Participants reported pain intensity to be the greatest in the knees, legs, wrists, lower back, and head. Pain interfered most with sleep and with activities requiring a high level of musculoskeletal involvement. Respondents also reported pain problems that were more severe than those of the general population and than those of a sample of people with multiple sclerosis. Many treatments had been tried previously for pain, but continued use of treatments was reported by relatively few participants at the time of the survey.Conclusions
The findings indicate that pain is a persistent and common problem in persons with PPS, highlighting the need for effective and accessible pain treatments for this population. 相似文献9.

BackgroundNeurosteroids affect the balance between neuroexcitation and neuroinhibition but have been little studied in migraine. We compared the serum levels of pregnenolone sulfate, pregnanolone and estradiol in women with menstrually-related migraine and controls and analysed if a correlation existed between the levels of the three hormones and history of migraine and age.MethodsThirty women (mean age ± SD: 33.5 ± 7.1) with menstrually-related migraine (MM group) and 30 aged- matched controls (mean age ± SD: 30.9 ± 7.9) participated in the exploratory study. Pregnenolone sulfate and pregnanolone serum levels were analysed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, while estradiol levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.ResultsSerum levels of pregnenolone sulfate and pregnanolone were significantly lower in the MM group than in controls (pregnenolone sulfate: P = 0.0328; pregnanolone: P = 0.0271, Student’s t-test), while estradiol levels were similar. In MM group, pregnenolone sulfate serum levels were negatively correlated with history of migraine (R2 = 0.1369; P = 0.0482) and age (R2 = 0.2826, P = 0.0025) while pregnenolone sulfate levels were not age-related in the control group (R2 = 0.04436, P = 0.4337, linear regression analysis).ConclusionLow levels of both pregnanolone, a positive allosteric modulator of the GABAA receptor, and pregnenolone sulfate, a positive allosteric modulator of the NMDA receptor, involved in memory and learning, could contribute either to headache pain or the cognitive dysfunctions reported in migraine patients. Overall, our results agree with the hypothesis that migraine is a disorder associated with a loss of neurohormonal integrity, thus supporting the therapeutic potential of restoring low neurosteroid levels in migraine treatment.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s10194-021-01231-9. 相似文献

Patients presenting for treatment of chronic pain often believe that pain reduction must be achieved before returning to normal functioning. However, treatment programs for chronic pain typically take a rehabilitative approach, emphasizing decreasing pain-related disability first with the expectation that pain reduction will follow. This information is routinely provided to patients, yet no studies have systematically examined the actual trajectories of pain and disability in a clinical care setting. In this study of youth with chronic pain (N = 94, 8 to 18 years), it was hypothesized that 1) functional disability and pain would decrease over the course of psychological treatment for chronic pain and 2) functional disability would decrease more quickly than pain intensity. Participants received cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for pain management (M = 5.6 sessions) plus standard medical care. The Functional Disability Inventory and a Numeric Rating Scale of average pain intensity were completed by the child at every CBT session. Hierarchical linear modeling was conducted to examine the longitudinal trajectories of disability and pain. Standardized estimates of the slopes of change were obtained to test differences in rates of change between pain and disability. Results showed an overall significant decline in functional disability over time. Although pain scores reduced slightly from pretreatment to posttreatment, the longitudinal decline over treatment was not statistically significant. As expected, the rate of change of disability was significantly more rapid than pain. Evidence for variability in treatment response was noted, suggesting the need for additional research into individual trajectories of change in pediatric pain treatment. 相似文献

The pathophysiology of pituitary-associated headache is unknown, although structural and functional features of the tumour
are proposed mechanisms. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether headache in a population with pituitary micro-adenomas
was related to hyperprolactinemia. We recruited 29 patients with microprolactinoma and headache: 16 with migraine (group A)
and 13 with tension-type-headache (group B). The prolactin (PRL) levels measured during attacks of headache were significantly
higher in nine patients (56%) of group A and in one patient (8%) of group B. In four of the nine patients of group A, PRL
increased after thyrotropin-releasing-hormone (TRH) test and induced severe attacks. After dopamine-agonist (DA) treatment,
the headache improved in seven (44%) patients of the group A and in two (15%) patients of the group B. Three of the four patients
in whom the TRH-test induced headache attacks, improved after DA treatment. We suggest that hyperprolactinemia may contribute
to development of pain in migraine subgroups and further TRH-test could be used to predict which patients could benefit by
DA therapy. 相似文献

Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) has been found as correlated with endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress. There are few studies regarding ADMA and nitric oxide (NO) levels in patients with migraine and alterations of ADMA and NO levels during migraine attack are not well-known. Therefore, in present study, we aimed to measure NO and ADMA levels in patients with migraine and compare them with the control group to investigate the correlation between migraine, oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction. The migraine group consisted of 59 patients, including 22 suffering from migraine with aura and 37 suffering from migraine without aura. The control group consisted of 31 healthy volunteers without headache. The patients in migraine group were divided into subgroups based on whether attack period was present or not and whether it was migraine with or without aura. Plasma ADMA levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Migraine patients had higher concentrations of NO (35.6±7.7, 31.0±6.2 μmol/L, respectively, p=0.005) and ADMA (0.409±0.028, 0.381±0.044 μmol/L, respectively, p = 0.001) levels when compared with the healthy controls. During migraine attack, NO and ADMA levels were found to be significantly higher in migraine group as compared to control group (respectively, p=0.015, p=0.014). Similarly, NO and ADMA levels in the patients with migraine in the interictal period were found to be significantly higher as compared to control group (p=0.011, p=0.003). In conclusion, higher ADMA and NO levels of patients with migraine supported that oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction may have a role in migraine pathogenesis. 相似文献

ObjectiveSensory hypersensitivities such as photophobia, phonophobia, and osmophobia are common in patients with migraine. We investigated the burden of these multiple sensory hypersensitivities in migraine.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, 187 consecutive patients with migraine (26 men/161 women; age, 45.9 ± 13.2 years) were included. Sensory hypersensitivity symptoms such as photo−/phono−/osmophobia and accompanying symptoms were determined by neurologists in interviews. The Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) was used to assess headache-related disability. The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6) was also administered.ResultsPhotophobia, phonophobia and osmophobia were observed in 75.4%, 76.5% and 55.1% of the patients with migraine, respectively. A significant overlap in sensory hypersensitivities (photo−/phono−/osmophobia) was found; the proportions of patients with 2 and 3 coexisting sensory hypersensitivities were 33.2% and 41.7%, respectively. The MIDAS score was higher in those with 3 sensory hypersensitivity symptoms than in those with 0 to 2 sensory hypersensitivity symptoms. A generalized linear model with ordinal logistic regression analysis revealed that multiple sensory hypersensitivities, younger age, more migraine days per month, and a higher K6 score were significantly related to the higher MIDAS score.ConclusionOur study showed that sensory hypersensitivities commonly occur and overlap in patients with migraine and that multiple sensory hypersensitivity symptoms have a significant impact on headache-related disability.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s10194-021-01294-8. 相似文献

This overview of the published epidemiological evidence of migraine helps to identify the size of the public–health problem
that migraine represents. It also highlights the need for further epidemiological studies in many parts of the world to gain
full understanding of the scale of clinical, economic and humanistic burdens attributable to it. This paper presents some
of the work on migraine undertaken by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the Global Burden of Disease study conducted
in 2000 and reported in the World Health Report 2001. Migraine was not included in the first Global Burden of Disease 1990. The paper also discussed the measurement of disability
attributable to headache disorders using WHO ICF Classification. Using disabilityadjusted life years (DALYs) as a summary
measure of population health (which adds disability to mortality), WHO have shown that mental and neurological disorders collectively
account for 30.8% of all years of healthy life lost to disability (YLDs) whilst migraine, one amongst these, alone accounts
for 1.4% and is in the top 20 causes of disability worldwide. This information is combined with the increasingly widely accepted
belief that disability and functioning are relevant parameters for monitoring the health of nations and that there is an increasing
need to measure them. WHO's Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a model of human functioning
and disability, as well as a classification system, that allows us to highlight and measure all dimensions of disability.
ICF applied to headache disorders allows comparability with other health conditions as well as evaluation of the role of the
environment as a cause of disability amongst people with headache. Migraine causes a large propotion of the non–fatal disease–related
burden worldwide.Our kowledge of headache related burden is incomplete and it is necessary to add to it epidemiological studies
in many parts of the world and to combine this with measurements of disability using both DALYs and WHO ‘s ICF Classification.
The work described here has been the base for the Global Campaign against Headache disorders: "Lifting the Burden", launched
in 2004 jointly by WHO, IHS (International Headache Society), WHA (World Headache Alliance) and EHF (European Headache Federation). 相似文献

A relationship between
migraine and patent foramen ovale
(PFO) has been observed in relatively
small series of patients so far.
Furthermore, the exact mechanism
underlying such an association
remains unknown. In the present
study we determined the prevalence
of PFO by contrast–enhanced transcranial
Doppler (TCD) in a group
of 260 patients with migraine with
aura (MA+), 74 patients with
migraine without aura (MA–), and
38 patients with cluster headache
(CH). One–hundred–sixty–one
MA+subjects (61.9%), 12 MA–subjects
(16.2%), and 14 CH–subjects
(36.8%) were PFO–carriers. The
association was independent on the
frequency of migraine attacks and
complexity of aura. Finally, among
the 15 patients who had a history of
at least one migraine attack occurring
during a Valsalva maneuver
only one subject turned out to be
PFO–carrier. Our findings confirm
previous observations of a link
between MA+, CH, and PFO. They
also suggest that such an association
is independent on migraine
clinical phenotype and is probably
unrelated to the pathogenic mechanism
of paradoxical embolism. 相似文献

Locomotor disability (LMD) is common at older ages, and can lead to other significant disability and mortality. Prevalent pain has been shown to be associated with LMD. This article aimed to assess the association between changes in lower limb pain status (ascertained from a manikin) and changes in the level of self-reported LMD in a sample of UK adults age ≥ 50years, over a 6-year period (data collected at 3-year intervals). There was an average increase in the level of LMD over 6 years. Reports of an onset of lower limb pain were associated with a relative increase in LMD, independently of sociodemographic factors and the onset of selected comorbid diseases. A dose-response relationship was observed between the onset of multiple lower limb joint involvement and more frequent or intense pain and larger increases in LMD. Becoming free from lower limb pain was associated with a relative decrease in LMD, but did not return LMD scores to the level of those who had remained pain-free throughout. This is consistent with a cumulative effect on LMD of recurrent episodes of pain. Lower limb pain may be a key target for prevention and rehabilitation to reduce years lived with disability in later life. 相似文献

migraine in Mexico City. This
cross–sectional study was performed
in two tertiary centers in
Mexico City and affiliated
hospitals. We evaluated the
presence of migraine through a
standardised interview according
to the criteria of the International
Headache Society. We studied
1147 patients. The mean age was
37.1±13.6 (6–77) years. Nine
hundred and twenty one patients
were female (80%). The age of
onset of migraine was 19.4±10.3
(1–69) years. Six hundred and
four patients had migraine with
aura (53%) and 543 without aura
(47%). The female/male ratio was
4:1. One hundred and forty–seven
patients had cardiovascular
problems (13%), 72 had
neurological problems (6%),
233 had gastrointestinal
problems (20%) and 323 had
psychiatric problems (28%).

BackgroundMigraine is the second leading cause of disability worldwide. Although many preventive treatments reduce migraine frequency and severity, it is unclear whether these treatments reduce migraine-related disability in a clinically meaningful way. This pooled analysis evaluated the ability of fremanezumab to reduce migraine-related disability, based on responses and shifts in severity in patient-reported disability outcomes.MethodsThis pooled analysis included 3 double-blind phase 3 trials (HALO EM, HALO CM, FOCUS) in which patients with episodic or chronic migraine were randomly assigned 1:1:1 to quarterly or monthly fremanezumab or matched placebo for 12 weeks. Migraine-related disability was assessed using the 6-item Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) and Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) questionnaires. A clinically meaningful improvement in disability was defined per American Headache Society guidelines: for HIT-6, a ≥ 5-point reduction; for MIDAS, a ≥ 5-point reduction when baseline score was 11 to 20 or ≥ 30% reduction when baseline score was > 20. Proportions of patients who demonstrated shifts in severity for each outcome were also evaluated.ResultsFor patients with baseline MIDAS scores of 11 to 20 (n = 234), significantly higher proportions achieved 5-point reductions from baseline in MIDAS scores with fremanezumab (quarterly, 71%; monthly, 70%) compared with placebo (49%; both P ≤ 0.01). For patients with baseline MIDAS scores of > 20 (n = 1266), proportions achieving ≥30% reduction from baseline in MIDAS scores were also significantly higher with fremanezumab (quarterly, 69%; monthly, 79%) compared with placebo (58%; both P < 0.001). For HIT-6 scores, proportions of patients achieving 5-point reductions from baseline were significantly higher with fremanezumab (quarterly, 53%; monthly, 55%) compared with placebo (39%; both P < 0.0001). Proportions of patients with shifts of 1 to 3 grades down in MIDAS or HIT-6 disability severity were significantly greater with quarterly and monthly fremanezumab compared with placebo (all P < 0.0001).ConclusionFremanezumab demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in disability severity in this pooled analysis.Trial registrationsHALO CM, ; HALO EM, NCT02621931; FOCUS, NCT02629861.

MMPI personality profiles were obtained from three clinical groups (n = 79). One group consisted of men and women with chronic muscle pain (MP; n = 34), a second group of male and female chronic tension headache patients (TH; n = 12), and a third group of female migraine patients (M; n = 33). The M group was subdivided on the basis of source of referral and into groups of classic versus common migraine. Elevation of the MMPI subscales usually interpreted as neuroticism scales were found in all groups. A "psychosomatic V" pattern was found on these scales in the M group but not in female TH patients. The difference in scale configuration between groups was caused primarily by different elevations on the depression scale. A relationship between severity of headache and elevation of the "psychosomatic V" was found in migraine patients. Male MP and TH patients showed a descending slope on the neuroticism scales, not observed in females. There was a tendency for common migraine patients to show a more elevated and psychosomatic configuration on the MMPI, as compared with classic migraine patients. 相似文献
