According to Sjaastad, the pain in cervicogenic headache, a form not recognized by the IHS, is long lasting and always side-locked unilateral. The frequency of side-locked unilateral pain (defined here as no change in side from onset) and other characteristics of cervicogenic headache were investigated in 300 outpatients using information collected on standard forms in structured interviews. Three hundred seventy-four headaches diagnosed according to IHS criteria were identified. Three hundred forty-eight of these headaches were long-lasting (duration of more than 4 hours); migraine (65%) followed by tension-type headache (25%) were the commonest forms. Side-locked unilaterality was present in 29% (101 of 348), and occurred most frequently in migrainous disorders not fulfilling the criteria (25 of 56, 44.6%). This group differed significantly from the other migraine conditions for longer pain duration ( P <0.02) and less frequent nausea, vomiting, photophobia, phonophobia ( P <0.0001), and aggravation by physical activity ( P <0.02). With these characteristics, this group resembled cervicogenic headache. However, in none of these patients was pain triggered by head or neck movements, and the frequency of head or neck trauma did not differ from other headaches. A more precise definition of clinical criteria for cervicogenic headache vs migraine is, therefore, required.  相似文献

Abstract

Headache is a symptom commonly treated by physical therapies. Towards evidence based practices, these therapies are being evaluated in randomized controlled trials. Tension headache has received most attention. Logically, physical treatments of the cervical musculoskeletal system are appropriate for the management of headaches arising from neck dysfunction; that is, cervicogenic headache. There are difficulties in always selecting suitable headache patients for study and for treatment in everyday clinical practice. This review examines the characteristics of cervicogenic headache for differential diagnosis. There is considerable symptomatic overlap between cervicogenic headache and other chronic headache forms such as tension headache and migraine without aura. The symptomatic criteria for cervicogenic headache are well researched, but current physical diagnostic criteria are often non-specific and non-discriminatory. The possibilities for new physical diagnostic criteria are explored with the aim of helping the clinician and researcher to better identify the cervicogenic headache patient. These are based on current research into physical impairments in the musculoskeletal system with neck pain.  相似文献

In 1983 Sjaastad published for the first time diagnostic criteria for cervicogenic headache. Until now there have been no prospective studies investigating whether cervical disc prolapse can cause cervicogenic headache. Between July 2002 and July 2003 50 patients with cervical disc prolapse proven by computed tomography, myelography or magnetic resonance imaging were recruited and prospectively followed for 3 months. Patients were asked at different time points about headache and neck pain by questionnaires and structured interviews. These data were collected prior to and 7 and 90 days after surgery for the disc prolapse. Fifty patients with lumbar disc prolapse, matched for age and sex, undergoing surgery were recruited as controls. Headache and neck pain was diagnosed according to International Headache Society (IHS) criteria. Twelve of 50 patients with cervical disc prolapse reported new headache and neck pain. Seven patients (58%) fulfilled the 2004 IHS criteria for cervicogenic headache. Two of 50 patients with lumbar disc prolapse had new headaches. Their headaches did not fulfil the criteria for cervicogenic headache. One week after surgery, 8/12 patients with cervical disc prolapse and headache reported to be pain free. One patient was improved and three were unchanged. Three months after cervical prolapse surgery, seven patients were pain free, three improved and two unchanged. This prospective study shows an association of low cervical prolapse with cervicogenic headache: headache and neck pain improves or disappears in 80% of patients after surgery for the cervical disc prolapse. These results indicate that pain afferents from the lower cervical roots can converge on the cervical trigeminal nucleus and the nucleus caudalis.  相似文献

The objective was to investigate the 3‐year course of secondary chronic headaches (≥15 days per month for at least 3 months) in the general population. An age and gender stratified random sample of 30,000 persons aged 30–44 years from the general population received a mailed questionnaire. All with self‐reported chronic headache, 517 in total, were interviewed by neurological residents. The questionnaire response rate was 71%. The rate of participation in the initial and follow‐up interview was 74% (633/852) and 87% (83/95) respectively. The International Classification of Headache Disorders was used, and then in the next step the Cervicogenic Headache International Study Group and American Academy of Otolaryngology criteria were used in relation to cervicogenic headache (CEH) and headache attributed to chronic rhinosinusitis (HACRS). Of those followed‐up, 40 had headache attributed to head and/or neck trauma (chronic posttraumatic headache), 0 had CEH and 0 had HACRS according to the ICHD‐II criteria, while 18 had CEH according to the Cervicogenic Headache International Study Group's criteria, and 37 had HACRS according to the criteria of the American Academy of Otolaryngology. The headache index (frequency×intensity×duration) was significantly reduced from baseline to follow‐up in chronic posttraumatic headache and HACRS, but not in CEH. We conclude that secondary chronic headaches seem to have various course dependent of subtype. Recognizing the different types of secondary chronic headaches is of importance because it might have management implications.  相似文献

The operational and diagnostic criteria for migraine and all other headache disorders released in 1988 by the International Headache Society are universally considered reliable and exhaustive. These criteria, however, cannot be considered as satisfactory for population-based studies on migraine prevalence, especially if adolescents are the subjects of the study.
Using these diagnostic criteria, we conducted an epidemiological study in order to assess the prevalence of migraine headache in a student population aged 11 to 14 years. Our survey made it possible to code IHS 1.1 (migraine without aura) in 2.35%, IHS 1.2 (migraine with aura) in 0.62%, IHS 1.7 (migrainous disorders not fulfilling migraine criteria) in 1.52%, and IHS 13 (headache not classifiable) in 1.38% of the examined pupils.
In adolescents, the low prevalence estimates of migraine headache coded IHS 1.1 and the relatively high prevalence estimates of headaches coded IHS 1.7 and IHS 13 have appeared to be a consequence of the rigidity of some operational diagnostic criteria of the recent IHS classification rather than of the geographical, environmental, or socioeconomical pecularities of the cohort.
Therefore, in order to improve the reliability and the exhaustiveness of the IHS classification by increasing its sensitivity, we believe that minor modifications of the diagnostic criteria are necessary. Within these revised criteria, the subitem "moderate or severe intensity" of pain headache should become mandatory, whereas the lower limit of the criterion "duration of pain" should be reduced to 1 hour.  相似文献

In this follow-up study in children and adolescents with recurrent headaches classified as migrainous disorder (IHS 1.7) and headache of the tension-type not fulfilling the criteria (IHS 2.3), 28.6% were headache-free and 71.4% still had headaches 2-5 years after the first examination. The majority remained in the same one-digit IHS diagnosis, whereas 20% changed from migraine to tension-type headache or vice versa. The number of IHS criteria fulfilled increased significantly from the first to the second examination. The reason for diagnosing IHS 1.7 and IHS 2.3 most often was a short headache duration or headache characteristics not meeting the criteria. By reducing the minimum headache duration to 1 h, 11 of 58 patients could be diagnosed as migraine without aura. There was a remarkable overlap in the diagnostic criteria for migraine without aura and tension-type headache. In IHS 1.7 and IHS 2.3 this overlap exceeded 80%, with a trend to decrease at the second examination.  相似文献

SYNOPSIS
Side-locked unilaterality and specific localization of pain are not as well-defined clinical characteristics in long-lasting headaches (duration more than 4 hours) as they are in short-lasting forms. We examined side-locked unilaterality and pain distribution at onset and at peak headache in 74 patients with different forms of long-lasting headache: migraine and tension-type headache (IHS) and cervicogenic headache (according to Sjaastad et al). Side-locked unilaterality of pain was found in all forms, but to differing extents-20.8% in migraine, 12.5% in tension-type headache, while it was a mandatory criterion for cervicogenic headache. The pain tended to localize anteriorly, particularly at onset, in migraine; was more diffuse in tension-type headache; and always began in the occipitonuchal region in cervicogenic headache. Our results may contribute to a better clinical definition of long-lasting headaches.  相似文献

Cluster analysis was used to validate headache diagnostic criteria of the International Headache Society (IHS). Structured diagnostic interviews were conducted on 443 headache sufferers from a community sample, which was randomly split to allow replication. Hierarchical cluster analysis of symptoms in both subsamples revealed two distinct ( P <.001) clusters: (1) unilateral pulsating pain, pain aggravated by activity, and photophobia and phonophobia, and (2) bilateral pressing/tightening pain, mild to moderate intensity, and absence of nausea/vomiting. These clusters were consistent with IHS migraine and tension-type classifications, respectively. Replication using a non-hierarchical clustering technique, k-means cluster analysis, revealed a migrainelike patient cluster, reflecting more frequent pulsating, unilateral pain; more severe pain; and pain aggravated by activity; nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia. A tensionlike patient cluster was also identified, reflecting more frequent pressing/tightening pain, mild to moderate pain, bilateral location, and absence of nausea/vomiting. These patient clusters were consistent across subsamples. International Headache Society diagnoses corresponded with classification based upon statistically derived clusters ( P <.001). These results indicate that headache symptoms cluster empirically in a manner consistent with IHS criteria for migraine and tension-type headaches. Criterion overlap problems regarding pain intensity and duration were identified. Overall, these data support migraine and tension-type headache as distinct entities, and provide support for the IHS diagnostic criteria with minor modifications.  相似文献

In a long-term efficacy and satiety study, 424 patients were treated with sumatriptan (6 mg sc) for 1,904 migraine attacks. The patients were diagnosed with migraine based on IHS criteria but individual migraine attacks treated in the study were physician diagnosed; not necessarily required to meet IHS criteria. A re-analysis of the treatment response to open label sumatriptan (6 mg sc) indicated that 43 patients had treated at least one migraine that fulfilled IHS criteria for tension-type headache. Analysis of this population revealed they treated 232 headaches. Of these headaches, 114 were classified per IHS criteria as migraine; 76 as tension-type; and 42 as. non-IHS migraine (not classifiable as IHS migraine or IHS tension-type headache). Of the 114 migraines a positive response to sumatriptan occurred in 109 (96%) cases; of the 76 tension-types, 73 responded to sumatriptan (97%); of the 42 non-IHS migraine, 40 (95%) responded to sumatriptan. An equivalent response to sumatriptan among three diagnostic groups of headache supports the concept of a common biologic mechanism involving 5HT1 receptors that spans a range of clinical presentations.  相似文献

In a headache clinic, 247 children suffering from severe recurrent headaches were studied in relation to the IHS criteria for migraine. Of the 247, 163 had migrainous headache, with 110 (67.5%) of these having migraine in accordance with the IHS criteria. The remaining 53 (32.5%) had headache attacks fulfilling all but one of the IHS criteria. Coverage of the IHS criteria for migraine was 93%. Symptoms of unilateral headache, aggravation by physical activity, and nausea showed the greatest differences in frequency between those with migraine and those with probable migraine. All children with aura fulfilled criteria for migraine. Children with migraine with aura (11.8, 95% CI: 11.0–12.6 years) were older than those without aura (10.1, 9.4–10.8 years; p = 0.001). Children with pulsating headache were slightly older than children without pulsating headache. No differences in age were detected for the other IHS criteria.  相似文献

The prevalence of cervicogenic headache (CEH) is only vaguely known. Furthermore, it is a common belief that in migraine without aura (MwoA), neck symptoms frequently occur and that MwoA and CEH may pathogenetically be intimately related. In the V?g? study, 1838 18-65-year-old citizens (88.6% of that age group) were studied with face-to-face interviews and a thorough neck examination. For CEH, the Cervicogenic Headache International Study Group criteria were used, and for MwoA, the IHS criteria. The extent of cervical involvement was assessed by the 'CF' ('features indicative of cervical abnormality'). CEH prevalence was 4.1%. 'CF' was 2.37 in CEH vs 0.93 in M-A. CEH criteria, e.g. mechanical attack provocation, were present many times more frequently in CEH than in MwoA. Conversely, migraine criteria, e.g. photophobia, were >/= 2.6 times higher in MwoA than in CEH. CEH is unlikely to be a subgroup of MwoA.  相似文献

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Adolescent headaches, particularly migraine, might present with different features from adult headaches. The objectives of this study were to investigate the characteristics of tension-type headache and migraine, to find the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic criteria of the IHS classification according to age and gender. METHODS: A multistep, stratified, cluster sampling method was used for subject selection. The estimated sample size was 2387. The study was conducted in two phases: the questionnaire and the face to face interview phases. During the semistructured interview, a clinical diagnosis has been made and clinical characteristics have been recorded. RESULTS: All headaches fulfilled the criteria of duration. The most common feature of migraine was moderate to severe (92.4%), pulsating pain (79.2%). For ETTH, bilateral localization (91.3%) and mild to moderate pain intensity (90.6%) were the most common features. Younger adolescents showed mixed headache characteristics. Highest sensitivities for migraine were duration (100%), moderate to severe pain (92.4%), and pulsating quality of pain (79.2%). Vomiting, trigger factors food and alcohol had a high specificity for migraine. CONCLUSIONS: Our data strongly support continuum hypothesis. In early adolescence headaches might present with mixed headache characteristics. Age and gender have some influence on headache characteristics, particularly on migraine. The sensitivity and specificity of case definition criteria of ICHD-2 for adolescent migraine is moderate and need to be reconsidered.  相似文献

Assignment of a diagnosis of migraine has been formalized in diagnostic criteria proposed by the International Headache Society. The objective of the present study is to determine the reproductibility of the formal diagnosis of migraine in a cohort of headache sufferers over a one-year period. The study was performed in a community cohort taking part in a long-term prospective health survey, the GAZEL study. Two thousand five hundred individuals reporting headache in the GAZEL cohort were sent two postal questionnaires concerning headache symptoms and features at 12-monthly intervals. Replies to the questions allowed a migraine diagnosis to be attributed retrospectively using an algorithm based on the IHS classification scheme. The response rate was 82% for the first questionnaire and 69% for both questionnaires. Of the 1733 subjects providing information at both time-points, the agreement rate for the diagnosis of strict migraine (IHS categories 1.1 or 1.2) was 77.7% (kappa = 0.48), with 62.2% of the patients with this diagnosis (IHS categories 1.1 or 1.2) at Month 0 retaining the same diagnosis at Month 12. When diagnostic criteria were widened to include IHS category 1.7 (migrainous disorder), the agreement rate of the diagnosis was similar at 77.6% (kappa = 0.52), but 82% of the patients with this diagnosis (IHS categories 1.1 or 1.2 or 1.7) at Month 0 now retained the same diagnosis at Month 12. In conclusion, the one-year reproducibility of reporting of migraine headache symptoms is only moderate, varies between symptoms, and leads to instability in the formal assignment of a migraine headache diagnosis and to diagnostic drift between headache types. This finding is compatible with the continuum model of headache, where headache attacks can vary along a severity continuum from episodic tension-type headaches to full-blown migraine attacks.  相似文献

The International Headache Society (IHS) diagnostic criteria for headache improved the accuracy of primary headache diagnoses, including migraine. However, many migraineurs receive an 'atypical migraine' diagnosis according to the IHS nosology (IHS 1.7), indicating that they approximate but do not fully meet all IHS criteria. This study characterized and sub-classified patients with atypical migraine. Within a clinical sample of 382 headache sufferers, 83 patients met IHS criteria for 'atypical migraine'. Patients receiving the IHS 1.7 designation did not converge to form a homogeneous group. Rather, distinct and clinically relevant subgroups were empirically derived (e.g. migraine with atypical pain parameters, brief migraine, chronic migraine). The results call for revisions of the IHS diagnostic criteria for migraine that would minimize the number of patients receiving an atypical diagnosis. Revisions would include decreasing the minimum headache duration criteria from 4 h to 2 h, and developing a classification for 'chronic migraine' for migraine greater than 15 days per month. The proposed revision provides a means of diagnosing the daily and near-daily headache commonly observed in clinical populations.  相似文献

Cervicogenic headache: evaluation of the original diagnostic criteria   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
A variety of headaches are frequently associated with the occurrence of neck pain. The purpose of this paper was to describe the adherence to diagnostic criteria of a series of patients enrolled on the basis of two clinical criteria: (1) unilateral headache without side-shift, and (2) pain starting in the neck and spreading to the fronto-ocular area. One hundred and thirty-two patients (36 male and 96 female) entered the study. Sixty-two patients were assigned to Group A (patients fulfilling criteria 1 and 2), 40 to Group B (criterion 2 only) and 12 to Group C (criterion 1, only). Eighteen subjects were excluded because X-rays of the neck were not available. Patients were evaluated regardless of whether or not they fell into one or more of the following diagnostic categories: cervicogenic headache (CEH), migraine without aura (M) and headache associated with disorders of the neck (HN) (IHS definitions). Fulfillment of the diagnostic criteria for CEH was found to be particularly frequent in Group A. A higher frequency of CEH diagnosis was found when two criteria were used (Group A) than in Group B (P = 0.001); in the former group a higher mean number of diagnostic criteria for CEH were also present (P = 0.001). Group A patients more frequently presented pain episodes of varying duration or fluctuating, continuous pain and moderate, non-excruciating, non-throbbing pain than Group B patients (P = 0.04 and P = 0.08, respectively). In Group C patients, the frequency of these two criteria was relatively low (17%) especially of the first mentioned variable. The presence of at least five of the seven 'pooled' CEH criteria (present in > or = 50% of the patients) might be deemed a reliable cut-off point, allowing the headache to be diagnosed as 'probable' CEH. If patients fulfilling M or HN criteria in addition to the CEH criteria are added to the 'pure' CEH group a total of 74% of Group A patients may have a CEH picture. The temporal pattern of pain and the quality of pain in Group A showed good sensitivity and specificity (> or = 75) when compared with Group B; therefore, the chances of diagnosing a definite CEH are significantly more frequent in patients presenting with unilateral pain that also begins as a neck pain. Head/neck trauma and radiological abnormalities in the cervical spine were not significantly associated with CEH, M or HN diagnoses. An improvement of the current diagnostic IHS criteria might make it possible to avoid the existing, partial overlap of CEH with HN and M. Extensive use should be made of the GON, and other, blockades in the routine work-up of CEH, both in the differential diagnosis and in the mixed forms (CEH + M, and CEH + HN), in order to improve the efficiency of the current diagnostic system.  相似文献

Cervicogenic headache: Diagnostic evaluation and treatment strategies   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Cervicogenic headache is a chronic, hemicranial pain syndrome in which the source of pain is located in the cervical spine or soft tissues of the neck but the sensation of pain is referred to the head. The trigeminocervical nucleus is a region of the upper cervical spinal cord where sensory nerve fibers in the descending tract of the trigeminal nerve converge with sensory fibers from the upper cervical roots. This convergence of upper cervical and trigeminal nociceptive pathways allows the referral of pain signals from the neck to the trigeminal sensory receptive fields of the face and head. The clinical presentation of cervicogenic headache suggests that there is an activation of the trigeminovascular neuroinflammatory cascade, which is thought to be one of the important pathophysiologic mechanisms of migraine. Another convergence of sensorimotor fibers has been described involving intercommunication between the spinal accessory nerve (CN XI), the upper cervical nerve roots, and ultimately the descending tract of the trigeminal nerve. This neural network may be the basis for the wellrecognized patterns of referred pain from the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles to the face and head. Diagnostic criteria have been established for cervicogenic headache but its presenting characteristics may be difficult to distinguish from migraine, tension-type headache, or hemicrania continua. A multidisciplinary treatment program integrating pharmacologic, nonpharmacologic, anesthetic, and rehabilitative interventions is recommended. This article reviews the clinical presentation of cervicogenic headache, its diagnostic evaluation, and treatment strategies.  相似文献
