OBJECTIVE: To discern the effects of depression and anxiety on the migraine-obesity relationship. BACKGROUND: Migraine and obesity are highly prevalent conditions and are both independently linked to psychiatric conditions, mainly depression and anxiety. METHODS: Data are from an ongoing cross-sectional multicenter study on comorbid conditions in clinic patients seeking treatment for headache. The diagnosis of migraine was determined by the examining physician based on the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD)-II criteria. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire with information on demographics, headache features, and physician-diagnosed comorbid medical and psychiatric disorders. The questionnaire included scales for measuring current depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (BAI), and headache-related disability (HIT-6). RESULTS: A total of 721 migraineurs (88% women) from 8 different headache treatment centers were included in this study (mean age = 42 years, SD = 12). Aura was reported in 45% and chronic headache (>or=15 headache days/month) in 35% of the participants. Prevalence of obesity in our population was 30% and only 38% had normal weight. Obesity was more common in men (P= .004), African Americans (P= .026), and in lower education (P= .05) and household income (P=.05) groups. Current depression (PHQ-9 score >or=10) was noted in 42% and current anxiety (BAI score >or=8) in 70% of the obese migraineurs. In ordinal logistic regression, obesity was associated with current depression (odds ratio [OR]= 1.86, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.25 to 2.78) and anxiety (OR = 1.58, 95% CI: 1.12 to 2.22). A significant effect of depression on the body mass index (BMI) and headache frequency relationship was noted. Obese migraineurs with depression were more likely to have higher headache frequency (OR = 4.16, 95% CI: 1.92 to 8.99) and headache-related disability (OR = 7.10, 95% CI: 2.69 to 18.77) compared to normal weight migraineurs without depression. Similarly, obese migraineurs with anxiety were more likely to have higher headache frequency (OR = 1.96, 95% CI: 1.07 to 3.61) and headache-related disability (OR = 3.59, 95% CI: 1.64 to 7.86) compared to normal weight migraineurs without depression. Compared to migraineurs with either current depression or anxiety, those with both these conditions were more likely to have higher headache frequency (OR = 3.18, 95% CI: 1.86 to 5.43) and headache disability (OR = 6.13, 95% CI: 2.58 to 14.59). CONCLUSION: Depression and anxiety were common in obese migraineurs. The relationship of obesity with migraine frequency and migraine-related disability is modified by depression and by anxiety, with the strongest effect observed in migraineurs with both depression and anxiety. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To determine prevalence and characteristics of migraine in Japan, and to investigate use of medical care and whether food preference is associated with risk of migraine. METHODS: Structured questionnaires were given to all adult residents (N = 5758; 2681 men and 3077 women) in Daisen, a rural community in western Japan. Second questionnaires, specific to headache, were given to 1628 residents with headache. A telephone survey was also carried out. Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences analyzed the data. RESULTS: The 1-year prevalence of migraine was 2.3% (migraine with aura, 0.4% and without aura, 1.9%) in men and 9.1% (migraine with aura, 1.0% and migraine without aura, 8.1%) in women. Overall prevalence of migraine in Daisen was 6.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.4% to 6.6%). Women observed a 5.9-fold higher risk of migraine than men (odds ratio, 5.9; 95% CI, 4.5 to 8.0; P <.0001, after age adjustment, by logistic analysis). Fatigue and loss of vigor were predominant premonitory symptoms of migraine. Fatigue, mental stress, and lack of sleep were the main headache triggers. Over a 3-month period, 20.3% of migraineurs experienced time or days off work due to headache. Only 7.3% of those with migraine with aura and 5.3% of those with migraine without aura had consulted a physician, and of those with migraine, 61.0% with aura and 71.8% without aura had never visited a medical doctor for their headache. Consumption of alcohol and cigarette smoking did not influence the risk for migraine or tension-type headache, after age and gender adjustment (logistic analysis). Migraineurs consume significantly more fatty/oily foods, coffee, and tea than nonheadache subjects of the same community. Migraineurs consume significantly fewer fish than nonheadache residents. CONCLUSIONS: Only a few Japanese migraineurs receive benefits of medical services and recent advances of headache medicine. Public education concerning headaches is one of the most urgent issues in Japan. 相似文献

Objective.— To evaluate the relative frequency of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in episodic migraine (EM) and chronic daily headache (CDH) sufferers and the impact on headache-related disability.
Background.— Approximately 8% of the population is estimated to have PTSD. Recent studies suggest a higher frequency of PTSD in headache disorders. The association of PTSD and headache-related disability has not been examined.
Methods.— A prospective study was conducted at 6 headache centers. PTSD was assessed using the life events checklist and PTSD checklist, civilian version (PCL-C). We compared data from EM to CDH, and migraine with PTSD to migraine without PTSD. The PHQ-9 was used to assess depression, and headache impact test (HIT-6) to assess disability.
Results.— Of 767 participants, 593 fulfilled criteria for EM or CDH and were used in this analysis. The mean age was 42.2 years and 92% were women. The frequency of PTSD was greater in CDH than in EM (30.3% vs 22.4%, P = .043), but not after adjusting for demographics and depression ( P = .87). However, participants with major depression and PTSD were more likely to have CDH than EM (24.6% vs 15.79%, P < .002). Disability was greater in migraineurs with PTSD, even after adjustments (65.2 vs 61.7, P = .002).
Conclusion.— The frequency of PTSD in migraineurs, whether episodic or chronic, is higher than the historically reported prevalence of PTSD in the general population. In addition, in the subset of migraineurs with depression, PTSD frequency is greater in CDH sufferers than in episodic migraineurs. Finally, the presence of PTSD is independently associated with greater headache-related disability in migraineurs. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess the costs of headache-related absenteeism of community-dwelling migraineurs, and to compare the amount of absenteeism between migraineurs aged 18 and older and age, sex, and occupation-matched nonheadache-prone subjects. DESIGN: Follow-up over a 3-month period. SAMPLES: 385 migraineurs and 313 nonheadache subjects representative of the setting. METHODS: Every day, the participants recorded the presence of headache, if any, and the work situation (unemployment, holiday, weekend, medical reason, nonmedical reason). Sickness-related absenteeism was the number of workdays missed or interrupted for medical reasons. Headache-related absenteeism was the sickness-related absenteeism during workdays with headaches. The annual headache-related absenteeism costs in France were extrapolated from these data in accordance with the mean income per occupational category. The incremental absenteeism and related costs were the difference between the two samples. RESULTS: Of working migraineurs, 20% had at least one period of absenteeism. During the 3 months, they missed or interrupted on average 1.4 days for medical reasons, 0.25 of which for headaches. Sickness-related absenteeism was statistically higher in migraineurs than in nonheadache-prone subjects. This difference was due to a higher absenteeism for comorbidity reasons, not for headache reasons, representing 20% of all sickness-related absenteeism. Migraineurs avoided sick leave for headache reasons. As an incremental total, 1.68 days or approximately 0.7% of the annual number of working days are lost on average per individual with migraine. The annual incremental headache-related absenteeism cost was 5.22 billions, i.e. 1,551 FF (US$240) per migraineur. 相似文献

Migraine is one of the common diseases suffering 8.4 million patients in Japan. The pathophysiology of migraine remains unclear. The genetic and basic studies of the familial hemiplegic migraine, a specific subtype of migraine with aura, have demonstrated the dysfunction of mutant brain-expressed calcium ion channel and/or the Na+/K+ ion transporter and suggested the association between cortical spreading depression (CSD) and migraine with aura. It is suggested that the CSD, neurogenic inflammation and vasodilatation caused by unknown triggers may activate the 'brainstem migraine generator' and amplified back way. In consequence, headache and/or aura will be appeared and strengthened. Our etiological data of headache in Daisen located in Western Japan clarified as follows; 1) Overall prevalence of migraine in Daisen was 6.0%. Women observed a 5.9-fold higher risk of migraine than men. 2) Fatigue, mental stress, and lack of sleep were the main headache triggers. 3) Only 7.3% of those with migraine with aura and 5.3% of those with migraine without aura had consulted a physician. 4) Migraineurs consume significantly more fatty/oily foods, coffee, and tea than nonheadache subjects of the same community. Migraineurs consume significantly fewer fish than nonheadache residents. As a conclusion, only a few Japanese migraineurs receive benefits of medical services and recent advances of headache medicine. The Japanese guideline for chronic headache treatment has declared in 2002. The International Classification of headache disorders has reedited to the 2nd edition. Public education concerning headaches is one of the most urgent issues in Japan. 相似文献

(Headache 2010;50:42‐51) Objective.— To evaluate in a headache clinic population the relationship of childhood maltreatment on the prevalence of pain conditions comorbid with migraine. Background.— Childhood maltreatment is highly prevalent and has been frequently associated with recurrent headache. The relationship of maltreatment and pain has, however, been a subject of some debate. Methods.— Cross‐sectional data on self‐reported physician‐diagnosed pain conditions were electronically collected from persons with migraine (diagnosed according to International Classification of Headache Disorders‐2), seeking treatment in headache clinics at 11 centers across the US and Canada. These included irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), fibromyalgia (FM), interstitial cystitis (IC), arthritis, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids. Other information included demographics, migraine characteristics (frequency, headache‐related disability), remote and current depression (The Patient Health Questionnaire‐9), and remote and current anxiety (The Beck Anxiety Inventory). Patients also completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire regarding sexual, emotional, and physical abuse, and emotional and physical neglect under the age of 18 years old. Statistical analyses accounted for the survey design and appropriate procedures in SAS such as surveymeans, surveyfreq, and surveylogistic were applied to the weighted data. Results.— A total of 1348 migraineurs (88% women) were included in this study (mean age 41 years). Based on physician diagnosis or validated criteria, 31% had IBS, 16% had CFS, and 10% had FM. Diagnosis of IC was reported by 6.5%, arthritis by 25%, and in women, endometriosis was reported by 15% and uterine fibroids by 14%. At least 1 comorbid pain condition was reported by 61%, 2 conditions by 18%, and 3 or more by 13%. Childhood maltreatment was reported by 58% of the patients. Emotional abuse was associated with increased prevalence of IBS, CFS, arthritis, and physical neglect with arthritis. In women, physical abuse was associated with endometriosis and physical neglect with uterine fibroids. Emotional abuse, and physical abuse and neglect (P < .0001 for all) were also associated with increased total number of comorbid conditions. In ordinal logistic regression models, adjusted for sociodemographics and current depression (prevalence 28%) and anxiety (prevalence 56%), emotional abuse (odds ratios [OR] = 1.69, 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 1.224‐2.33) and physical neglect (OR = 1.73, 95% CI: 1.22‐2.46) were independently associated with an increased number of pain conditions. The cohort of women, similarly, had associations of emotional abuse (OR = 1.94, 95% CI: 1.40‐2.72) and physical neglect (OR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.34‐2.68) with an increased number of pain comorbidities. Conclusion.— The association of childhood maltreatment and pain was stronger in those reporting multiple pain conditions and multiple maltreatment types. This finding suggests that in migraineurs childhood maltreatment may be a risk factor for development of comorbid pain disorders. 相似文献

Objectives.— Migraine is a risk factor for stroke in young women. Biomarker studies implicate endothelial activation as a possible mechanism. Emerging relationships of childhood adversity with migraine, and with inflammation, a component of endothelial activation, suggest that it may play a role in the migraine–stroke association. Our objective is to evaluate the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), migraine, and vascular biomarker levels in premenopausal women. Methods.— Vascular and metabolic biomarkers from women 18‐50 years, including 125 with migraine (interictal) and 50 without migraine, were evaluated. An ACE questionnaire was later collected by mail (response rate 80.6%, 100 migraineurs, 41 controls). Results.— Migraineurs and controls were demographically similar. Migraineurs reported adversity more commonly than controls (71% vs 46%, odds ratio [OR] = 1.53, 95% confidence interval 1.07‐2.17). Average ACE scores were elevated in migraineurs as compared with controls (2.4 vs 0.76, P < .001). ACE scores correlated with headache frequency (0.37, P = .001) and younger age of headache onset (?0.22, P = .04). It also correlated with body mass index (r = 0.43, P = .0001), von Willebrand factor activity (r = 0.21, P = .009), tissue plasminogen activator antigen (r = 0.28, P = .004), prothrombin activation fragment (r = 0.36, P = .001), high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (r = 0.98, P = .0001), transforming growth factor‐beta1 (r = 0.28, P = .003), tissue necrosis factor‐alpha (r = 0.20, P = .03), interleukin‐6 (r = 0.22, P = .03), adiponectin (r = ?0.29, P = .003), and nitrate/nitrite concentration (r = ?314, P = .001). Logistic regression analyses (adjusted for vascular risk factors and migraine) demonstrated an association of childhood adversity with inflammatory factors (high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein, interleukin‐6, and tissue necrosis factor‐alpha). Conclusions.— In young women, adverse childhood events are associated with migraine, particularly chronic and transformed migraine, and with vascular biomarkers, especially inflammatory biomarkers. These findings implicate early life stress as a link between migraine and endothelial activation. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate allodynia in patients with different primary headaches. BACKGROUND: Many migraineurs have allodynia during headache attacks; some may have allodynia outside attacks; allodynia may also be associated with other primary headaches. METHODS: A total of 260 consecutive primary headache patients presenting for the first time at a headache center, and 23 nonheadache controls answered written questions (subsequently repeated verbally) to determine the presence of acute and interictal allodynia. RESULTS: We divided the patients into: episodic migraine (N = 177), subdivided into only migraine without aura (N = 114) and those sometimes or always reporting migraine with aura (N = 63); episodic tension-type headache (N = 28); chronic headaches (headache > or = 15 days/month, N = 52), including chronic migraine, chronic tension-type headache, and medication-overuse headache; and other headache forms (N = 3). Acute allodynia was present in 132 (50.7%), significantly more often in patients sometimes or always suffering migraine with aura, and those with chronic headache forms, compared to patients with migraine without aura and episodic tension-type headache. Interictal allodynia was present in 63 (24.2%) patients, with significantly higher frequency in those having migraine with aura attacks than controls and common migraine patients. CONCLUSIONS: Allodynia is not specific to migraine but is frequent in all headache patients: acute allodynia was reported in half those interviewed and in over a third of patients in each headache category; interictal allodynia was reported by nearly 25%. 相似文献

The investigation of personality traits of migraineurs with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is an important line of research, but so far has led to diverse conclusions. In this study, the MMPI (Chinese edition) responses of 50 Chinese subjects (10 men, 40 women) with migraine (4 migraine with aura, 46 without aura), during frequent headache attacks were compared with 30 nonheadache healthy control subjects (6 men, 24 women). Statistical analysis was made between the two groups. The results revealed that subjects in the migraine group had significantly higher scores on subtests of neurotic, (hypochondriasis, depression, hysteria, and psychasthenia), schizophrenia, and social introversion ( P <0.05 to 0.001). Utilizing the American T-score, we found the migraine group's MMPI profile was a typical 1.2.3.7 model. These results suggest migraineurs with frequent headache attacks have multiphasic personality abnormalities and partial cerebral function disturbances. 相似文献

Objective.— To contrast the cervical range of motion (CROM) in women with episodic migraine (EM), transformed migraine (TM), and controls without migraine headaches.
Background.— Migraineurs often complain about neck pain. Furthermore, neck problems can worsen the headaches in individuals with migraine. Individuals with neck pain usually have reduced CROM. Nonetheless, studies assessing the CROM in migraineurs are scarce.
Methods.— Our sample was selected in an outpatient headache clinic, and consisted of 45 women aged 20-54 years old, 15 per group. Cervical mobility was evaluated in movements of flexion, extension, right lateral flexion, left lateral flexion, right rotation, and left rotation using the CROM technique, and was contrasted among the groups. Migraine clinical patterns were also evaluated (frequency, duration of migraine, pain in the moment of evaluation, pain in movement, and pain localization) as a function of CROM.
Results.— Compared with controls, individuals with TM had numerically inferior CROM in all parameters, and significant reduction in 3 of them: extension (59.3 vs 68.1, P = .02), left lateral flexion (44.5 vs 49.1, P = .03), and right rotation (62.2 vs 69.6, P = .02). Compared with individuals with migraine, the TM group presented significantly reduced mobility only for extension (59.3 vs 68.4, P = .02). Migraineurs also had numerically inferior ROM, contrasted to controls, in 5 of the 6 parameters, although significance was seen just for right rotation (60.8 vs 68.6 P < .01). There was no correlation between cervical mobility and migraine parameters. The CROM was not reduced for the symptomatic side of migraine, in cases of unilateral pain.
Conclusion.— Contrasted to controls, individuals with episodic and TM have decreased cervical range of motion. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To identify distinct constellations of comorbid disorders occurring in migraineurs, and to examine differences in demographics, headache profiles, and psychosocial features between the comorbidity constellations. METHODS: This is a retrospective electronic chart review of consecutive new female outpatients diagnosed with migraine (n = 223) using International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD)-II criteria. Questionnaire collected information on comorbid diagnoses, current depression, somatic symptoms, psychosocial stressors, and antidepressant use, social and abuse history. Cluster analysis, based on nonheadache disorders, was performed and differences between the resulting groups were examined. RESULTS: We identified 3 groups. Group 1 (n = 55) was defined by hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and hypothyroidism; Group 2 (n = 83) by depression, anxiety, and fibromyalgia; Group 3 (n = 85) by the absence of defining comorbidities. Group 1 had more males (22% vs 5% vs 12%, P < .05), was older (median years: 52 vs 36 vs 32, P < .01), and had later age of headache onset (median years: 22 vs 16 vs 18, P < .05). Group 2 had the greatest disability (P < .05), and the lowest quality of life (P < .001). Persons in Group 2 more commonly reported sexual abuse (OR = 2.7, 95% CI: 1.1 to 6.5), physical abuse (OR = 2.5, 95% CI: 1.2 to 5.1), and emotional abuse (OR = 4.3, 95% CI: 1.9 to 8.9). CONCLUSION: Within a headache clinic population, we identified 3 different migraine comorbidity constellations, with differing headache and psychosocial profiles, suggesting heterogeneity of genetic and environmental factors. This may have implications for diagnosis and disease management. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine whether differences in urinary proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), exist between migraineurs and nonheadache control subjects, and between nonhormonal migraine and menstrual migraine. Any differences noted would expand and clarify a neuroimmune hypothesis of migraine pathogenesis and lead to future diagnostic markers or therapeutic options or both for the disorder. BACKGROUND: Current theories of migraine pathogenesis focus on biochemical abnormalities in the central nervous system resulting in sterile inflammation of meningeal blood vessels. Vasoactive substances involved in this process may include substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, neurokinin A, serotonin, and nitric oxide. Immune cell products, such as histamine, leukotrienes, and cytokines, also have vascular inflammatory properties. METHODS: A study of proinflammatory cytokines, IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha, was undertaken in menstrual migraineurs. During and outside of menses, 24-hour urine samples of 19 women with migraine were taken during a menstrual migraine, a nonmenstrual migraine, and a headache-free day, and compared with 24-hour urine samples taken of 10 nonheadache controls during and outside of menses. RESULTS: A neuroimmune mechanism for migraine was tested with expected increases in proinflammatory cytokines tested during a migraine. This hypothesis was not validated. Mean IL-6 levels were increased in all three samples of migraineurs versus controls, but did not achieve statistical significance. No differences were found in IL-1beta levels between samples. Interestingly, marked differences were found in TNF-alpha values in menstrual migraineurs. Twelve (63%) of 19 migraineurs had at least one urine sample with undetectable TNF-alpha levels, whereas none of the 20 samples given by the 10 nonheadache controls in this study had undetectable levels. Thirty-two samples from men with cluster headache and nonheadache control subjects in prior studies had detectable levels. CONCLUSIONS: This deficiency of TNF-alpha levels in women with migraine may signal a disordered neuroimmune communication network and predisposition to migraine. 相似文献

The critical flicker frequencies (CFF) of individuals with migraine with and without aura were determined and compared to those of normal controls. Twenty-six migraine patients, 12 with aura and 14 without aura and 30 healthy controls were included. Migraineurs were tested during a migraine-free period, through both the continuous flicker method (CFM) and the forced choice method (FCM). Migraineurs presented a mean flickering fusion threshold lower than healthy controls with the CFM (40.45 vs. 44.33, respectively; P = 0.019) and with the FCM (34.16 Hz vs. 38.5 Hz, respectively, P = 0.019). Both groups of migraineurs had significantly lower thresholds as compared to controls, migraineurs with aura presenting the lowest thresholds for the fusion of flickering (P = 0.008 and P = 0.0001 with the CFM and the FCM, respectively). Results confirmed and extended previous observations of abnormal flicker fusion thresholds in migraineurs. We hypothesize that this finding might be related to a shorter cortical stimulation silent period. 相似文献

The objective of the study was to investigate comorbidity of migraine in Finnish migraine families. One thousand consecutive
participants in the Finnish Migraine Gene Project reported their medical illnesses in addition to migraine and headache. Migraine
patients (n=678) reported significantly more hypotension (OR 1.43, CI 95% 1.02–2.01), allergy (OR 1.83, CI 95% 1.34–2.51) and psychiatric
disorders (OR 4.09, CI 95% 2.11–7.92) compared to their family members without migraine (n=322). Subgroup analyses demonstrated that especially women and the group fulfilling the criteria for both migraine with and
without aura were likely to have additional disorders besides their migraine. Interestingly, male migraineurs with aura reported
a significant association with stroke and epilepsy. Familial migraine is comorbid with hypotension, allergy and psychiatric
disorders. The association between migraine with aura and stroke and epilepsy among men of the studied families warrants further
study. Clinical, pathophysiological and genetic implications of these results are discussed. 相似文献

It has been suggested that folate metabolism could be involved in migraine pathogenesis. We analysed the 5',10'-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genotypic distribution in a large migraine sample. We genotyped 230 migraine patients (152 migraine without aura (MO) and 78 migraine with aura (MA)) and 204 nonheadache controls. The incidence of TT homozygosis for migraine in general (12%), MO (9%) and MA (18%) did not significantly differ from that found in healthy controls (13%). Differences were significant when the frequency of TT homozygosis between MA and MO (P = 0.03, OR = 2.34, 95% CI = 1.04-5.26) was compared. There was a tendency for a higher frequency of the MTHFR T allele in the MA group (42%) as compared to MO (29%) and controls (36%). These differences were significant only in the case of MA vs. MO (P = 0.006, OR = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.15-2.65). These results could indicate that the MTHFR C677T polymorphism, causing mild hyperhomocystinaemia, might be a genetic risk factor for experiencing aura among migraineurs. Overall, however, there was no association between migraine and the C677T MTHFR polymorphism. 相似文献

We conducted a population-based headache questionnaire survey including questions on physician consultation for headache in Taipei, Taiwan from August 1997 to June 1998. The participants comprised 3377 subjects aged > or = 15 years, of whom 328 (9.7%) had a diagnosis of migraine and 1754 (52%) had a diagnosis of non-migraine headache. Migraineurs had a higher physician consultation rate (once or more in the past year) than the subjects with non-migraine headache (54% vs. 31%, P < 0.0001). When frequency > or = 10 times was taken as 10 times, the analysis showed that migraineurs consulted physicians more often than non-migraine headache subjects (2.36 vs. 0.96, P = 0.04). A small proportion of the subjects with either migraine (12%) or non-migraine headache (6%) accounted for 50% of total consultations within their groups. In addition to old age, low education levels, living in a rural area, migrainous features (nausea and photophobia), and work day loss, predictors of physician consultations also included 'having been troubled with headache' (odds ratio (OR) = 1.7) and co-morbidity with hypertension (OR = 1.8) or heart disease (OR = 2.2). Low copayment and unrestricted access to medical care, as well as cultural factors played an important role in the high consultation rates in our headache subjects. Moreover, this study found self-perception of headache impact and co-morbid illnesses were important factors affecting the decision to consult physicians about headache. 相似文献

Transcranial Doppler ultrasound is a relatively new diagnostic modality which allows the noninvasive assessment of intracranial circulation. A total of 10 migraine patients were studied and compared to healthy controls without headaches. Migraineurs during the headache-free interval demonstrated excessive cerebrovascular reactivity to CO2, evidenced by an increase in middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity of 47% +/- 15% compared to 28% +/- 14% in controls (p = 0.026). Differences between the two study groups revealed no significant decrease in middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity with hypocapnia. However, the differences between middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity during hyperventilation and CO2 inhalation were significantly different (p = 0.004) comparing migraineurs and controls. Instability of the baseline blood flow velocities was also noted in migraineurs during the interictal period. Characteristics which may allow differentiation of migraineurs from other headache populations could possibly be obtained from transcranial Doppler ultrasound flow studies. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Autonomic dysfunction has been reported in patients with migraine, and it may play a role in promoting attacks. OBJECTIVE: To investigate changes in the autonomic function of migraineurs and patients with medication overuse headache via sympathetic skin response, and to determine whether psychiatric comorbidity is related to any changes recorded. METHODS: A consecutive series of patients with migraine (n = 45) and medication overuse headache (n = 53) were studied. Patients with other chronic diseases requiring medication were excluded. Sympathetic skin response latencies and amplitudes from the patients with headache (N = 98) and 40 healthy controls were compared statistically. RESULTS: Sympathetic skin response latencies in patients with medication overuse headache and in migraineurs were significantly longer than in controls. To analyze the effect of psychiatric comorbidity, patients with medication overuse headache and migraineurs were each divided into 2 groups: those with psychiatric comorbidity and those without comorbidity. When the sympathetic skin response results of these 4 groups were compared with controls, the only statistically significant difference was between the sympathetic skin response latencies of controls and the latencies of patients with psychiatric comorbidity. We could not find any difference between the results from patients without psychiatric comorbidity and those of controls. CONCLUSION: Psychiatric disease may affect the results of autonomic function testing in migraineurs and patients with medication overuse headache. Consideration should be given to excluding patients with psychiatric comorbidity from studies investigating autonomic dysfunction in patients with headache. 相似文献

(Headache 2011;51:92‐104) Background.— Clinically, oral contraceptives (OC) can influence pain in both migraine headache and temporomandibular pain disorders. Estrogen as an ingredient of OC might be a responsible factor for these observations. We conducted the present study to test whether OC are able to alter the severity of headache attacks as well as the detection or pain thresholds over the course of the menstrual cycle in patients with migraine. Methods.— Thirteen healthy and regularly menstruating women and 26 migraineurs (13 using OC and 13 not using OC) were studied on the days 1, 4, 14, and 22 of their menstrual cycle. In all participants, saliva was collected first for determination of estrogen on each study day. Then, detection thresholds (warmth, cold, electrical current) and pain thresholds (cold, heat, pressure, electrical current) were assessed. Migraineurs were asked for headache attacks occurring in a period of 24 hours before testing and to estimate pain intensity on a verbal rating scale. Results.— On day 4 of the menstrual cycle, migraineurs using OC suffered significantly more from severe migraine attacks than migraineurs not taking OC. With respect to detection and pain thresholds, no effects of OC could be observed as concerning the differences between migraineurs with or without OC medication. On day 22, the severity of migraine headache was significantly related with the pain thresholds for pressure and electrical current, suggesting paradoxically more severe headache attacks in patients presenting with higher pain thresholds. Healthy volunteers disclosed higher salivary estrogen levels than migraineurs and migraineurs not using OC higher concentrations than migraineurs using OC throughout the menstrual cycle. Conclusions.— In this study, the use of OC intensified migraine (however only at the end of menstruation) however had no influence on detection and pain thresholds in migraineurs. Possible reasons for this dissociation will be discussed. 相似文献

The present study examined the extent to which migraineurs demonstrate interictal visual cortical hyperexcitability as a result of poor inhibitory control in the visual system. We employed a well-established psychophysical measure of inhibition, visual contrast gain control. The task involved detecting a briefly presented target that was superimposed on a highly excitable high contrast masking pattern. The strength of inhibition was assessed by comparing target detection thresholds with and without the operation of gain controls. Migraineurs with and without aura (n=25, n=22, respectively) were compared with those with no history of migraine (n=25). Our results do not indicate a loss of inhibition in migraine; the strength of inhibitory feedback contrast gain controls was similar between migraineurs and controls. We did however, find a statistically greater masking effect in migraineurs compared with controls in the zero delay condition, suggesting cortical hyperexcitability in migraine. Possible mechanisms of cortical hyperexcitability are discussed in light of the results. 相似文献
