RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Evidence indicates that physical activity reduces stress and promote a myriad of health-enhancing effects through anti-inflammatory mechanisms. However, it is unknown whether these mechanisms interfere in the association between psychosocial job stress and headache disorders. OBJECTIVE: To test whether physical activity and its interplay with the systemic inflammation biomarkers high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and acute phase glycoproteins (GlycA) would mediate the associations between job stress and headache disorders. METHODS: We cross-sectionally evaluated the baseline data from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) regarding job stress (higher demand and lower control and support subscales), migraine and tension-type headache (ICHD-2 criteria), self-reported leisure-time physical activity, and plasma hs-CRP and GlycA levels. Conditional process analyses with a sequential mediation approach were employed to compute path coefficients and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) around the indirect effects of physical activity and biomarkers on the job stress-headache relationship. Separate models were adjusted for sex, age, and depression and anxiety. Further adjustments added BMI smoking status, and socioeconomic factors. RESULTS: In total, 7,644 people were included in the study. The 1-year prevalence of migraine and tension-type headache were 13.1 % and 49.4 %, respectively. In models adjusted for sex, age, anxiety, and depression, the association between job stress (lower job control) and migraine was mediated by physical activity [effect = -0.039 (95 %CI: -0.074, -0.010)] but not hs-CRP or GlycA. TTH was associated with higher job control and lower job demand, which was mediated by the inverse associations between physical activity and GlycA [Job Control: effect = 0.0005 (95 %CI: 0.0001, 0.0010); Job Demand: effect = 0.0003 (95 %CI: 0.0001, 0.0007]. Only the mediating effect of physical activity in the job stress-migraine link remained after further adjustments including socioeconomic factors, BMI, smoking, and the exclusion of major chronic diseases. CONCLUSION: In the ELSA-Brasil study, physical activity reversed the link between job stress and migraine independently of systemic inflammation, while the LTPA-mediated downregulation of GlycA was associated with lower job stress-related TTH.

BACKGROUND: The Global Campaign against Headache is conducting a series of population-based studies to fill the large geographical gaps in knowledge of headache prevalence and attributable burden. One major region not until now included is South America. Here we present a study from Peru, a country of 32.4 million inhabitants located at the west coast of South America, notable for its high Andes mountains. METHODS: The study was conducted in accordance with the standardized methodology used by the Global Campaign. It was a cross-sectional survey using cluster randomised sampling in five regions to derive a nationally representative sample, visiting households unannounced, and interviewing one randomly selected adult member (aged 18-65 years) of each using the Headache-Attributed Restriction, Disability, Social Handicap and Impaired Participation (HARDSHIP) questionnaire translated into South American Spanish. The neutral screening question ("Have you had headache in the last year?") was followed by diagnostic questions based on ICHD-3 and demographic enquiry. RESULTS: The study included 2,149 participants from 2,385 eligible households (participating proportion 90.1%): 1,065 males and 1,084 females, mean age 42.0 ± 13.7 years. The observed 1-year prevalence of all headache was 64.6% [95% CI: 62.5-66.6], with age-, gender- and habitation-adjusted prevalences of 22.8% [21.0-24.6] for migraine (definite + probable), 38.9% [36.8-41.0] for tension-type headache (TTH: also definite + probable), 1.2% [0.8-1.8] for probable medication-overuse headache (pMOH) and 2.7% [2.1-3.5] for other headache on ≥ 15 days/month (H15+). One-day prevalence of headache (reported headache yesterday) was 12.1%. Migraine was almost twice as prevalent among females (28.2%) as males (16.4%; aOR = 2.1; p < 0.001), and strongly associated with living at very high altitude (aOR = 2.5 for > 3,500 versus < 350 m). CONCLUSION: The Global Campaign's first population-based study in South America found headache disorders to be common in Peru, with prevalence estimates for both migraine and TTH substantially exceeding global estimates. H15 + was also common, but with fewer than one third of cases diagnosed as pMOH. The association between migraine and altitude was confirmed, and found to be strengthened at very high altitude. This association demands further study.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between mental health symptoms and the migraine-tension-type headache (TTH) spectrum in middle-aged adults from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil study). METHODS: In this cross-sectional analysis (baseline data: 2008-2010), it was evaluated the relationship between each mental health symptom assessed by the Clinical Interview Schedule-Revised (CIS-R) questionnaire and headache subtypes (migraine and TTH) according to international criteria. It was performed binary logistic regression models, with estimated odds ratios (OR) with their respective 95% confidence intervals (CI) adjusted for confounders including migraine attack frequency. RESULTS: Among 13,916 participants, 70.1% reported any major primary headache subtype within the last year. The most common subtype was definite TTH (33.4%), followed by probable migraine (21.0%), definite migraine (8.5%), and probable TTH (7.2%). Our main findings indicated positive associations between anxiety-related symptoms and the migraine-tension type headache (TTH) spectrum with a clear trend toward definite migraine more than tension-type headache. The presence of somatic symptoms presented a high likelihood for the associations with headaches, mainly definite migraine (OR: 7.9, 95% CI: 6.4-9.8), probable migraine (OR: 4.5, 95% CI 3.7-5.4) and probable TTH (OR: 3.0, 95% CI: 2.3-3.8). Other symptoms associated with headache disorders included fatigue, panic, irritability, anxiety symptoms, concentration problems, forgetfulness, depressive symptoms, and worry. The effect of associations remained significant after controlling for headache attack frequency. CONCLUSION: This study provides evidence of consistent associations between mental health symptoms and primary headache disorders, with a higher burden of anxiety-based symptoms observed in people with migraine than those with TTH.

Objective: temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) are the most common causes of chronic orofacial pain and, along with primary headaches, are considered Chronic Overlapping Pain Conditions (COPCs). The aim of this study is to evaluate TMD treatment effects in individuals with comorbid headaches. Methods: a systematic review was conducted over a search in the database up to October 2020. Selected studies were randomized clinical trials with individuals diagnosed with TMD and comorbid headaches compared to a control group after treatments for TMD. All included studies were evaluated for their methodological quality through the Cochrane Collaboration tool for assessing the risk of bias. Results: seven studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were applied in the review, with a total of 432 participants. Four studies were included in a meta-analysis. There was no significative mean difference in the frequency of headache after TMD treatment, nor for a reduction in pain, after TMD intervention for less than 12 weeks. Although for an individual with a TMD intervention period higher than 12 weeks, there was a significant reduction in pain. Conclusion: there is moderate evidence that painful TMD therapies for 12 weeks or higher reduce headache intensity in individuals with painful TMD and headaches. Simultaneous management of TMD and headache must be prioritized for more effective results on both conditions.
Objetivo: as Disfunções Temporomandibulares (DTM) são as causas mais comuns de dor orofacial crônica e, junto com as cefaleias primárias, são consideradas Condições de Dor Sobrepostas Crônicas (CPOCs). O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar os efeitos do tratamento das DTMs em indivíduos com cefaleia comórbida. Métodos: foi realizada uma revisão sistemática por meio de uma busca em banco de dados até outubro de 2020. Os estudos selecionados foram ensaios clínicos randomizados com indivíduos diagnosticados com DTM e cefaleia comórbida em comparação com um grupo controle após tratamentos para DTM. Todos os estudos incluídos foram avaliados quanto à sua qualidade metodológica por meio da ferramenta Cochrane Collaboration para avaliar o risco de viés. Resultados: sete estudos preencheram os critérios de inclusão e foram incluídos na revisão, totalizando 432 participantes. Quatro estudos foram incluídos em uma meta-análise. Não houve diferença média significativa na frequência de cefaleia após tratamento para DTM, nem para redução da dor, após intervenção para DTM por menos de 12 semanas. Para indivíduos com DTM, o tempo de intervenção maior que 12 semanas resultou em uma redução significativa da dor. Conclusão: há evidências moderadas de que terapias para DTM dolorosa por períodos de 12 semanas ou mais reduzem a intensidade da cefaleia em indivíduos com DTM dolorosa e cefaleia. O manejo simultâneo de DTM e cefaleia deve ser priorizado para resultados mais efetivos em ambas as condições.
RESUMO
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the pressure pain threshold and the thickness of the cervical muscles in patients with tension-type headache versus healthy participants. METHODS: An observational, retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Universidad Europea de Madrid between May and June 2022. Adults aged 18-65 years with tension-type headache diagnosed for more than 6 months were compared to healthy controls. B-mode ultrasound imaging was employed to measure the thickness of the neck stabilizing muscles, longus colli, and multifidus at the C5 and C6 levels, respectively. pressure pain threshold measurements were assessed bilaterally in the following regions: upper trapezius, masseter, temporalis, anterior tibialis, and median nerve. RESULTS: A total of 40 participants (90% females; 36.3±12.9 years, BMI 24.2±3.7 kg/m2) participated in the study. Compared with the control group (n=20), participants in the tension-type headache group (n=20) presented statistically significant lower values in all pressure pain threshold measures. Additionally, the tension-type headache group presented statistically significant lower values in the thickness of the following muscles: right multifidus at rest (1.0±0.2 cm versus 1.3±0.2 cm; p<0.001), left multifidus at rest (1.1±0.1 cm versus 1.3±0.1 cm; p<0.001) and during contraction (1.2±0.1 cm versus 1.5±0.2 cm; p<0.001), left longus colli at rest (1.0±0.2 cm versus 1.2±0.1 cm; p=0.01) and during contraction (1.2±0.2 cm versus 1.4±0.1 cm; p<0.001), and right longus colli during contraction (1.2±0.2 cm versus 1.4±0.2 cm; p=0.02). CONCLUSION: This study concluded that patients with tension-type headache showed lower thickness and lower pressure pain threshold of cervical muscles compared to healthy controls.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Headache is the most frequent symptom of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) but there is limited information about the frequency and phenotype of headache, weeks to months after cerebral venous thrombosis (post-cerebral venous thrombosis headache, PCH). OBJECTIVE: To assess the frequency, characteristics and predictors of PCH. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, the frequency and characteristics of PCH were assessed in cerebral venous thrombosis survivors. Patients were interviewed between six months and five years after the cerebral venous thrombosis diagnosis. Clinical and imaging characteristics at the time of cerebral venous thrombosis diagnosis, as well as history of headache prior to cerebral venous thrombosis were compared in subjects with (GroupPCH) and without PCH (Groupcontrol). RESULTS: Subjects (n = 100; 82% women) were assessed, on average, at 1.1 ± 1.6 years of follow-up. PCH was present in 59% of the patients, phenotypes of tension-type-like headache were present in 31/59 (52.6%) and of migraine-like headache in 16/59 (27.1%). History of primary headache prior to cerebral venous thrombosis was significantly more common (OR: 6.4; 95% CI: 1.7-36.3) in GroupPCH (33.9%) than in Groupcontrol (7.3%). CONCLUSION: PCH was present in more than half of the patients. History of prior headache may be a risk factor for PCH. Prospective studies are required to confirm these findings and determine mechanisms, as well as interventions for prevention and treatment of PCH.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship be-tween the presence of primary headaches and myofascial pain in orofacial patients. Materials and methods: Six hundred and ninety-nine records of patients seeking treatment in a specialized orofacial pain clinic were assessed. The primary diagnostic categories of heada-che and myofascial pain were recorded. Data analyses were carried out by Pearson Chi-square and Logistic Regression, with a p-value of 0.05. Results: Average age of patients was 34.6 years. Females constituted 82.8% of the sample. A relationship between the presence of tension-type headache and myofascial pain was found (p=0.00); however, this relationship was not found for the presence of migraine and myofascial pain (p>0.05). Discussion: Tension-type headaches may be triggered or perpetuated by trigger points in orofacial structures. Conclusion: It can be concluded that trigger points in myofascial pain patients can play an important role in the genesis of tension-type headache.
Objetivo: Este estudo avaliou a relação entre a presença de cefaleia primária e dor miofascial em pacientes orofaciais. Materiais e métodos: Foram avaliados 699 prontuários de pacientes que buscavam atendimento em clínica especiali-zada em dor orofacial. As categorias diagnósticas primárias de cefaleia e dor miofascial foram registradas. A análise dos dados foi realizada pelo Qui-quadrado de Pearson e Regressão Logística, com valor de p=0,05. Resultados: A idade média dos pacientes foi de 34,6 anos. O sexo feminino constituiu 82,8% da amostra. Foi encontrada relação entre a presença de cefaleia do tipo tensional e dor miofascial (p = 0,00); en-tretanto, essa relação não foi encontrada para a presença de enxaqueca e dor miofascial (p> 0,05). Discussão: As cefaleias primárias do tipo tensionais podem ser desencadeadas ou perpetuadas por pontos-gatilhos nas estruturas orofaciais. Conclusão: Pode-se concluir que os pontos-gatilhos em pacientes com dor miofascial podem desempenhar um papel importante na gênese da cefaleia do tipo tensional.

INTRODUÇÃO: Cefaleias tensionais podem ser induzidas pela postura da cabeça para frente, e há uma grande quantidade de evidências disponíveis para o manejo de cefaleias crônicas. Os dados corroboram uso de abordagens de terapia manual para gerenciar dores de cabeça do tipo tensional. Devido à postura anterior da cabeça, a região do músculo suboccipital torna-se curta, resultando em aumento da lordose e dor no pescoço. Pacientes com uma postura de cabeça ainda mais para frente têm um ângulo craniovertebral menor, o que, por sua vez, causa cefaleia do tipo tensional. OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste estudo é comparar os efeitos da terapia de liberação miofascial (LMF) e da técnica de energia muscular (TEM) com exercícios gerais do pescoço no ângulo crânio-vertebral e na cefaleia em pacientes com cefaleia do tipo tensional. MÉTODOS: No total, 75 indivíduos com cefaleia tensional e sensibilidade muscular suboccipital foram recrutados e randomizados cegamente em três grupos: o grupo LMF, o grupo TEM e o grupo controle (25 indivíduos em cada grupo). Um ângulo pré-crânio vertebral foi obtido por método fotográfico e um questionário de índice de incapacidade pré-cefaleia foi preenchido. O grupo LMF recebeu liberação crânio-basal na região suboccipital com exercícios de pescoço; o grupo TEM recebeu relaxamento pós-isométrico na região suboccipital com exercícios, e o grupo controle recebeu apenas exercícios por 2 semanas. Após duas semanas, o ângulo pós-craniano e o questionário de cefaleia foram coletados e medidos. RESULTADOS: O ângulo crânio-vertebral e o índice de cefaleia mostraram melhora significativa nos grupos TEM e LMF. Não houve diferença significativa quando os grupos TEM e LMF foram comparados. Quando comparados com o grupo controle, tanto o TEM quanto o LMF apresentaram aumento significativo do ângulo crânio-vertebral. Houve melhora significativa no índice de cefaleia após TEM, LMF ou exercício de rotina no pescoço. CONCLUSÃO: Comparado ao grupo controle, o LMF apresenta melhores resultados do que o TEM no ângulo crânio-vertebral e cefaleia.
INTRODUCTION: Tension headaches can be induced by forward head posture, and there is a wealth of evidence available for managing chronic headaches. The data support the use of manual therapy approaches to manage tension-type headaches. Because of the forward head posture, the suboccipital muscle region becomes short, resulting in an increase in lordosis and neck pain. Patients with an even more forward head posture have a smaller craniovertebral angle, which in turn causes tension-type headache. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to compare the effects of Myofascial release therapy (MFR) and Muscle energy technique (MET) with general neck exercises on the craniovertebral angle and headache in tension-type headache patients. METHODS: In total, 75 subjects with tension-type headache and suboccipital muscle tenderness were recruited and randomized blindly into three groups: the MFR group, the MET group, and the control group (25 subjects in each group). A pre-craniovertebral angle was taken by photographic method, and a pre-headache disability index questionnaire was filled in. The MFR group receives cranio-basal release in the suboccipital region with neck exercises, the MET group receives postisometric relaxation in the suboccipital region with exercises, and the control group receives only exercises for two weeks. After two weeks, the postcranial angle and the headache questionnaire were taken and measured. RESULTS: Craniovertebral angle and headache index showed significant improvement in both the MET and MFR groups. There was no significant difference when MET and MFR groups were compared. When compared with the control group, both MET and MFR showed a significant increase in craniovertebral angle. There was a significant improvement in the headache index following MET, MFR, or routine neck exercise. CONCLUSION: Compared to the control group, MFR shows better results than MET on craniovertebral angle and headache.

BACKGROUND: There is possibly an association between migraine, tension-type headache, anxiety, depression and insomnia. These conditions are prevalent among university students. Our primary objective was to verify whether students with primary headaches (migraine and tension-type headache) have a higher prevalence of insomnia. Our secondary objective was to assess whether the impact of headaches was associated with greater severity of insomnia. METHODS: Cross-sectional study. 440 students out of 3030 were randomly selected. A semi-structured questionnaire containing information about the characteristics of the headaches, including their frequencies in the last 3 months; the Headache Impact Test (HIT-6); the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale; and the Insomnia Severity Index were used. RESULTS: 420 students (95.5%) agreed to participate; 51.4% men; median age of 21 (19, 23); 95 (22.6%) had insomnia; 265 (63.1%), migraine; 152 (36.2%), tension-type headache; 201 (47.9%) suffered from anxiety and 108 (25.7%), from depression. The severe impact of headache (HIT-6>55 points; OR = 3.9; p = 0.003) and anxiety (OR = 3.6; p = 0.003) were associated with insomnia (logistic regression). The severity of insomnia was positively and significantly correlated with the impact (HIT-6 score), with frequency of headache, and with having anxiety (multiple linear regression). CONCLUSIONS: The diagnoses of migraine and tension-type headache are not associated with the presence of insomnia. The severity of insomnia is associated with the impact and the frequency of the headaches.

BACKGROUND: Physical inactivity has been linked to headache disorders but estimates based on the current World Health Organization physical activity guidelines are unknown. OBJECTIVE: To test the associations between headache disorders and physical inactivity in the ELSA-Brasil cohort. METHODS: In a cross-sectional analysis, linear (continuous variables) and logistic regression models (categorical variables) tested the associations of physical activity levels in the leisure time, commuting time, and combined leisure time physical activity + commuting time physical activity domains with headache disorders, adjusted for the effects of sociodemographic data, cardiovascular risk variables, psychiatric disorders, and migraine prophylaxis medication. RESULTS: Of 15,105 participants, 14,847 (54.4% women) provided data on physical activity levels and headache. Higher physical activity levels (continuous values) in the leisure time physical activity domain associated with lower migraine and tension-type headache occurrence and lower headache attack frequency, while in the commuting time physical activity domain it associated with more frequent headache attacks. Compared to people who met World Health Organization physical activity levels in the leisure time physical activity or combining leisure time physical activity + commuting time physical activity domains (i.e. ≥150 min.wk-1 of moderate and/or ≥75 min.wk-1 of vigorous physical activity), physical inactivity associated with higher migraine occurrence, while somewhat active (i.e. not meeting World Health Organization recommendations) associated with higher migraine and tension-type headache occurrence. Physical inactivity in the commuting time physical activity domain associated with higher tension-type headache in men and lower migraine in women. Physical inactivity within vigorous leisure time physical activity intensity, but not moderate leisure time physical activity, associated with higher migraine, mostly in women. Finally, physical inactivity associated with higher headache attack frequency regardless headache subtype. CONCLUSION: Physical inactivity and unmet World Health Organization physical activity levels associate with primary headaches, with heterogeneous associations regarding headache subtype, sex, physical activity domain/intensity, and headache frequency in the ELSA-Brasil study.

ABSTRACT Tension-type headache (TTH) is a significant public health problem. The myofascial trigger points in the masticatory and cervical muscles are related to pain located in the temporomandibular joint, face, and cranium according to specific patterns. Thus, therapeutic procedures should be directed to myofascial trigger points rather than to the area of referred pain. For this purpose, the massage therapy combined with the topical heat can provide effective results due to the increase of the local microcirculation, improving tissue perfusion and promoting muscle relaxation. In this study we investigated the effects of manual therapy associated with topical heat therapy in TTH pain. This is a single-arm study composed of 13 participants with TTH (females), which were submitted to a three-month research protocol. In the first month , they filled out a pain diary and then they were evaluated. In the following month, the treatment protocol was applied (8 sessions of 45 minutes, twice a week, involving massage for skin desensitization, myofascial trigger point deactivation and stretching (friction massage) on masticatory and trapezius muscles after the topical heat). Then, in the third month (follow-up period), the participants were instructed to fill out the pain diary once again. We observed a significant decrease in pain intensity in TTH episodes, and medication intake after treatment and it keeps decreasing in follow-up. We conclude that the combination of manual therapy protocol and topical heat reduced pain and episodes related to TTH, and self-medication use in our sample.
RESUMO A cefaleia do tipo tensional (CTT) é um relevante problema de saúde pública. Os pontos-gatilho miofasciais nos músculos mastigatórios e do pescoço referem-se a dor na articulação temporomandibular, face e crânio, de acordo com padrões específicos, e os procedimentos terapêuticos devem ser direcionados para essas áreas, ao invés de zonas de dor referida. Assim, a massagem terapêutica pode proporcionar resultados efetivos quando combinada ao calor superficial, aumentando a microcirculação local, melhorando a perfusão de tecido e promovendo o relaxamento muscular. Desse modo, investigamos os efeitos da terapia manual associada ao calor superficial na CTT. Este é um estudo de braço único, envolvendo 13 participantes com CTT do gênero feminino, as quais foram submetidas a um protocolo de pesquisa de três meses. No primeiro mês (efeito de controle), elas foram avaliadas e preencheram o diário da dor. No mês seguinte, o protocolo de tratamento foi aplicado (8 sessões de 45 minutos, duas vezes por semana, envolvendo massagem para dessensibilização da pele, alongamento e desativação do ponto de gatilho miofascial (massagem de fricção) nos músculos mastigatório e trapézio, após o calor superficial). No terceiro mês (período de seguimento), as participantes foram instruídas a preencher novamente o diário da dor. Observamos uma diminuição significativa da intensidade da dor, dos episódios de CTT e da ingestão medicamentosa após o tratamento, que persistiram no período de seguimento. Concluímos que a combinação do protocolo de terapia manual e do calor superficial reduziu a dor e crises relacionadas a CTT e a automedicação na amostra estudada.
RESUMEN La cefalea de tipo tensional (CTT) es un relevante problema de salud pública. Los puntos gatillo miofasciales en los músculos masticatorios y del cuello se refieren al dolor en la articulación temporomandibular, la cara y el cráneo según los patrones específicos, y los procedimientos terapéuticos deben dirigirse más a estas áreas que a las que refieren el dolor. Ante esto, el masaje terapéutico asociado con el calor superficial puede ser eficaz, aumentando la microcirculación local, mejorando la perfusión tisular y promoviendo la relajación muscular. En este sentido, investigamos los efectos de la terapia manual asociada con el calor superficial en la CTT. Este es un estudio de un solo brazo, realizado con 13 participantes con CTT del género femenino, que se sometieron a un protocolo de investigación de tres meses. En el primer mes (efecto de control), las participantes se sometieron a evaluación y completaron el diario del dolor. En el mes siguiente se aplicó el protocolo de tratamiento (8 sesiones de 45 minutos, dos veces por semana, con masaje para desensibilización cutánea, estiramiento y desactivación del punto gatillo miofascial -masaje de fricción- en los músculos masticatorio y el trapecio, después del calor superficial). En el tercer mes (periodo de monitoreo), las participantes volvieran a completar el diario del dolor. Observamos una disminución significativa de la intensidad del dolor, los episodios de CTT y la ingesta de fármacos después del tratamiento, que persistió en el periodo de monitoreo. Concluimos que el protocolo de terapia manual asociado con calor superficial redujo el dolor y crisis relacionados con la CTT y la automedicación en la muestra estudiada.
RESUMO
ABSTRACT Objective: To examine the effect of body awareness therapy on pain, fatigue and quality of life in women with tension-type headaches (TTH) and migraine. Methods: Socio-demographic features of patients who are included in the study were recorded. Visual analogue scale was used for pain and fatigue severity scale was used for fatigue, Nottingham health profile (NHP) was used for life quality related to health. Following the first evaluation, body awareness therapy (BAT) was applied to patients for six weeks per 60 minutes in three sessions. Results: Among patients with TTH, there was statistical difference between visual analogue scale, fatigue severity scale and total NHP score before and after BAT (p < 0.05). Among patients with migraine, there was statistical difference between total NHP score before and after BAT (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Body awareness therapy is an effective method that can be used in order to increase life quality related to health among female patients with TTH and migraine.

ABSTRACT Background: Primary headaches, and particularly migraine and tension-type headache (TTH) as well as hypothyroidism are common medical conditions. To date, numerous studies have suggested a possible bidirectional relationship between migraine and hypothyroidism, although certain studies had contradictory results. Objective: To investigate whether there is any association between primary headache subtypes and thyroid disorders. Methods: A retrospective study of consecutive patients aged ≥18 years referred to the Headache Outpatient Clinic of Aeginition Hospital and diagnosed with primary headache and any thyroid disorder. Results: Out of 427 patients (males/females=76/351), 253 (59.3%) were diagnosed with migraine without aura, 53 (12.4%) with TTH, 49 (11.5%) with migraine with aura, 29 (6.8%) with medication-overuse headache, 23 (5.4%) with mixed-type headache (migraine with/without aura and TTH), nine (2.1%) with cluster headache, and 11 (2.6%) with other types of primary headaches. The prevalence of any type of thyroid disorder was 20.8% (89/427 patients). In the total sample, 27 patients (6.3%) reported hypothyroidism, 18 (4.2%) unspecified thyroidopathy, 14 (3.3%) thyroid nodules, 12 (2.8%) Hashimoto thyroiditis, 12 (2.8%) thyroidectomy, three (0.7%) thyroid goiter, and three (0.7%) hyperthyroidism. Further statistical analysis between categorical variables did not reveal any significant association between headache subtypes and thyroid dysfunction. Conclusions: No specific association was found between primary headache subtypes and specific thyroid disorder. However, a high prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in general and specifically hypothyroidism was demonstrated among patients with primary headaches, which lays the foundation for further clarification in prospective longitudinal studies.
RESUMO Introdução: Cefaleias primárias e, particularmente, enxaqueca e cefaleia do tipo tensional (CTT), bem como hipotiroidismo, constituem condições médicas comuns. Até o momento, vários estudos sugeriram uma possível relação bidirecional entre enxaqueca e hipotireoidismo, embora alguns estudos tenham resultados contraditórios. Objetivo: Investigar se existe associação entre subtipos de cefaleia primária e distúrbios da tireoide. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo de pacientes consecutivos com idade ≥18 anos encaminhados ao Ambulatório de Cefaleia do Hospital Aeginition, com diagnóstico de cefaleia primária e qualquer distúrbio da tireoide. Resultados: De 427 pacientes (homens/mulheres=76/351), 253 pacientes (59,3%) foram diagnosticados com enxaqueca sem aura, 53 (12,4%) com CTT, 49 (11,5%) com enxaqueca com aura, 29 (6,8 %) com cefaleia por uso excessivo de medicamentos, 23 (5,4%) com cefaleia mista (enxaqueca com/sem aura e CTT), nove (2,1%) com cefaleia em salvas e 11 (2,6%) com outros tipos de cefaleias primárias. A prevalência de qualquer tipo de distúrbio tireoidiano foi de 20,8% (89/427 pacientes). Na amostra total, 27 pacientes (6,3%) relataram hipotireoidismo, 18 (4,2%) tireoidopatia não especificada, 14 (3,3%) nódulos de tireoide, 12 (2,8%) tireoidite de Hashimoto, 12 (2,8%) tireoidectomia, três (0,7%) bócio da tireoide e três (0,7%) hipertireoidismo. Uma análise estatística posterior entre as variáveis categóricas não revelou qualquer associação significativa entre os subtipos de cefaleia e disfunção tireoidiana. Conclusões: Não encontramos associação entre subtipos de cefaleia primária e distúrbio específico da tireoide. No entanto, foi observada prevalência elevada de disfunção tireoidiana em geral e especificamente hipotireoidismo entre pacientes com cefaleia primária, o que estabelece base para maiores esclarecimentos em estudos longitudinais prospectivos.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to describe a group of patients with chronic headache disorders (CH) and medication overuse headache (MOH) treated with intravenous chlorpromazine (IVC). We hypothesized that IVC is an effective and safe addition to well-known treatment strategies for CH and MOH management. INTRODUCTION: Up to 4% of the general population could experience CH. Most cases occur in women, in association with MOH. To date, evidence to support different treatment strategies is lacking. Although IVC is frequently used in the emergency room (ER), documentation on its use as supportive treatment for CH and for withdrawal management of MOH is poor. METHODS: A retrospective cohort of patients hospitalized to receive treatment for CH in a specialized neurological center in Argentina was analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 35 CH patients were included. Of the 35 patients, 33 (94%) patients also presented MOH. Patients reported only minor side effects to IVC administration (mainly drowsiness and symptomatic hypotension). Three months after inpatient treatment, the number of ER visits made by these patients decreased from an average of 2.8 in the 3 months prior to hospitalization to 0.7 after it (72%, P = .009). Headache frequency decreased in 20/34 (59%) patients during the same time period. Pain levels had dropped from a mean of 8 points at admission (in the scale of 1-10) to 2 points at discharge. In the first 3 months of follow-up, the average number of days per month in which patients experienced headache decreased from 28.9 to 15.4 days (53.3%, P < .0001). CONCLUSION: In this particular group of inpatients, there were no significant safety issues with IVC administration and the study might suggest that the efficacy of IVC as an add-on treatment for CH and MOH.

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION: Chronic daily headache is a high impact entity in the general population. Although chronic migraine and tension-type headache are the most frequent conditions, it is necessary to consider hemicrania continua and new daily persistent headache as part of the differential diagnoses to perform a correct therapeutic approach. OBJECTIVE: To make recommendations for the treatment of chronic daily headache of primary origin METHODOLOGY: The Colombian Association of Neurology, by consensus and Grade methodology (Grading of recommendations, assessment, development and evaluation), presents the recommendations for the preventive treatment of each of the entities of the daily chronic headache of primary origin group. RESULTS: For the treatment of chronic migraine, the Colombian Association of Neurology recommends onabotulinum toxin A, erenumab, topiramate, flunarizine, amitriptyline, and naratriptan. In chronic tension-type headache the recommended therapeutic options are amitriptyline, imipramine, venlafaxine and mirtazapine. Topiramate, melatonin, and celecoxib for the treatment of hemicrania continua. Options for new daily persistent headache include gabapentin and doxycycline. The recommendations for inpatient treatment of patients with chronic daily headache and the justifications for performing neural blockades as a therapeutic complement are also presented. CONCLUSION: The therapeutic recommendations for the treatment of chronic daily headache based on consensus methodology and Grade System are presented.

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated headaches among Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and whether there was any correlation between the motor symptoms and the severity of the headaches presented. BACKGROUND: Forty to 83% of PD patients are affected by pain. Despite this high prevalence of pain, only a few studies have addressed the headaches of these patients. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study. Consecutive patients with Parkinson disease were included. Semi-structured interview; the Epworth sleepiness scale; the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Part III (motor examination); and the Hoehn and Yahr scale were used. RESULTS: About 46 patients were included, 52% were men, mean age was 66 ± 11 years. Forty-three patients had headaches, 12/46 (26%), migraines, 31/46 (67%) had tension-type headaches. We found no association between the headache frequency (median: 0.5; 0.5 to 7.5 vs 0.5; 0.5 to 8 days/3 months; P = .757) or intensity (median: 5; 4 to 8 vs 5.5, 4 to 9; P = .514) and the different stages of the PD (Hoehn and Yahr scale: ≤2.5 vs >2.5). There was no correlation between UPDRS score and the intensity (r = -0.099; P = .530) or frequency of headaches (r = -0.136; P = .373). No association was found between the grade of neck stiffness (0 vs 1 and 2 vs 3 and 4) and the headache frequency (Median: 0; 0 to 3 vs 3.5; 0 to 12.5 vs 0; 0 to 6 days/3 months; P = .074) or intensity (Median: 5; 3 to 9 vs 5; 4 to 6 vs 7; 4.5 to 9; P = .434). Twelve patients said that their headaches started after PD had been diagnosed. There was no difference regarding the frequency and characteristics of headaches and PD characteristics between these patients and the other patients with previous headaches. CONCLUSIONS: In this sample of PD patients, there is no association between headache and PD.

Introdução: Fatores emocionais, nocicepção miofascial pericraniana e ineficácia da regulação central da dor são mecanismos relacionados à cefaleia tensional, destacando os fatores psicossociais e a sobrecarga muscular decorrente de uma postura não adequada. Objetivo: Descrever os efeitos da Reeducação Postural Global (RPG) na cefaleia tensional. Métodos: Seis mulheres (28,16 ± 7,57 anos), com classificação 2 da International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition (ICHD-3) e pontuação ≥ a 50 no Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) receberam uma sessão semanal de RPG, durante 40 minutos, em 4 semanas. A avaliação estabilométrica e baropodométrica foi realizada com plataforma de pressão e avaliação da dor com a escala visual analógica. Resultados: Foi observado redução da dor (6,8 ± 1,3 vs 3 ± 0,6; p = 0,000) e do impacto da cefaleia (58,5 ± 5,2 vs 47,3 ± 6,0; p = 0,002), aumento da oscilação do centro de pressão (COP) médio lateral (0,08 ± 0,33 vs 1,50 ± 0,32 mm2; p= 0,026) e antero-posterior (0,8 ± 0,2 vs 1,3 ± 0,3 mm2; p = 0,014) e maior contato com o solo em retropé em comparação ao antepé (65,33 ± 6,37%; vs 34,66 ± 6,37 p = 0,002), que foi mantido após as atendimentos (63,0 ± 6,38% vs 37,0 ± 6,38%; p = 0,004). Conclusão: A RPG promoveu redução do impacto da cefaleia e dor e mostrou-se eficaz como um método de correção postural, visualizado pelo aumento da oscilação do centro de pressão. (AU)
Introduction: Emotional factors, pericranial myofascial nociception and ineffectiveness of central regulation of pain are mechanisms related to tension type-headache, with emphasis on psychosocial factors and muscle overload due inadequate posture. Objectives: To describe the use of Global Postural Reeducation (GPR) in tension type-headache. Methods: Six women (28.16 ± 7.57 years), classification 2 in International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition (ICHD-3) and score ≥ 50 in the Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) participated in 4 sessions of GPR, for 40 minutes, once a week. Pain was evaluated by the Visual Analog Scale of Pain (VAS) and stabilometric and baropodometric evaluation were performed with pressure platform. Results: Reduction of pain (6.8 ±1,3 vs 3 ± 0.6; p = 0.000) and headache impact (58.5 ± 5.2 vs 47.3 ±6.0; p = 0.002), increase in the oscillation of the center of standardized pressure, both as sagittal (0.8 ± 0.2 vs 1.3 ± 0.3 mm2 ; p = 0.014) and frontal plane (0.08 ± 0.33 vs 1.50 ± 0.32 mm2 ; p = 0.026) were observed, as well as more hindfoot ground contact compared to forefoot (65.33 ± 6.37% vs 34.66 ± 6.37%; p = 0.002), which was maintained after the sessions (63.0 ± 6.38% vs 37.0 ± 6.38%; p = 0.004). Conclusion: The GPR technique promoted reduction on impact of headache and pain and showed to be effective as a method of postural correction, visualized by increased pressure center oscillation.

ABSTRACT Although it is known that anxiety and depressive disorders frequently accompany migraine and TTH, the role of somatic amplification (SSA) and health anxiety in these diseases is not adequately known. Objective: The aim of this study is to compare SSA and health anxiety in patients with migraine or TTH, and healthy controls and to investigate the relationships between SSA, health anxiety, headache characteristics, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Methods: Fifty-four migraine, 50 TTH patients from the outpatient unit of the neurology department and 53 healthy volunteers were recruited for the study. The somatosensory amplification scale (SSAS), health anxiety inventory, Beck depression (BDI) and anxiety inventory (BAI) were administered to all participants. Results: The SSAS scores were significantly higher in migraineurs compared with the healthy controls. The health anxiety scores were significantly higher in both migraine and TTH groups. The BDI and BAI scores were also significantly higher in migraine and TTH groups compared with the controls. A significant positive correlation was found between headache frequency and BAI scores, the visual analogue scale scores and SSAS and BDI scores in migraineurs. The SSAS scores were also significantly correlated with the BDI and BAI scores in both of the headache groups. A similar correlation was determined with the health anxiety scores. Conclusions: While patients with migraine and TTH evalute, taking into account the SSA and health anxiety may contribute to the prognosis and treatment of these diseases.
RESUMO Embora se saiba que os distúrbios de ansiedade e depressão frequentemente acompanhem a enxaqueca e a TTH, o papel da amplificação somatossensorial (somatosensory amplification, SSA) e da hipocondria nessas doenças ainda não é bem conhecido. Objetivo: O presente estudo faz uma comparação entre pacientes que sofrem de enxaqueca e TTH com um grupo de controle saudável em termos de SSA e hipocondria e investiga a relação entre os achados e as características da cefaleia, a ansiedade e os sintomas depressivos. Métodos: O estudo incluiu 54 pacientes com enxaqueca, 50 pacientes com TTH e 53 voluntários saudáveis que se cadastraram na clínica de neurologia. A escala de amplificação somatossensorial (somatosensory amplification scale, SSAS), o inventário de hipocondria, o Inventário de Depressão de Beck (Beck Depression Inventory, BDI) e o Inventário de Ansiedade de Beck (Beck Anxiety Inventory, BAI) foram aplicados aos participantes. Resultados: Quando comparados com os controles saudáveis, as pontuações da SSAS dos pacientes com enxaqueca foram significativamente maiores, enquanto as pontuações de hipocondria foram significativamente maiores em ambos os grupos de enxaqueca e TTH. As pontuações do BAI e do BDI foram significativamente maiores em ambos os grupos de pacientes que no grupo de controle. No grupo da enxaqueca, foi identificada uma correlação positiva entre frequência de cefaleia e ansiedade, bem como entre a Escala Analógica Visual (EVA), a SSAS e a depressão. Em ambos os grupos de pacientes, a SSA foi correlacionada positivamente com a depressão e a ansiedade, e uma correlação semelhante foi encontrada entre a SSA e a hipocondria. Conclusão: Em avaliações dessas doenças, a hipocondria e a SSA devem ser levadas em consideração, pois se acredita que essa abordagem possa contribuir positivamente para o prognóstico e tratamento da doença.

ABSTRACT Objective To assess the presence of bruxism and anxiety among military firefighters with frequent episodic tension-type headache and painful temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Methods The sample consisted of 162 individuals aged 18 to 55 years divided into four groups. Headache was diagnosed in accordance with the International Classification of Headache Disorders-III. The Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders questionnaire was used to classify TMDs and awake bruxism; sleep bruxism was diagnosed in accordance with the International Classification of Sleep Disorders-3; and anxiety was classified using the Beck Anxiety Inventory. In statistical models, a significance level of 95% was used. The chi-square test was used to assess anxiety. Results Associations were found among frequent episodic tension-type headache, painful TMDs, awake bruxism and anxiety (p < 0.0005). Sleep bruxism was not a risk factor (p = 0.119) except when associated with awake bruxism (p = 0.011). Conclusion Anxiety and awake bruxism were independent risk factors for developing frequent episodic tension-type headache associated with painful TMDs; only awake bruxism was a risk factor for frequent episodic tension-type headache with non-painful TMDs.
RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar a presença de bruxismo e sintomas de ansiedade entre bombeiros militares com cefaleia do tipo tensional episódica frequente (CTTEF) e desordens temporomandibulares Dolorosas (DTMs). Métodos A amostra foi composta por 162 indivíduos com idade entre 18 e 55 anos divididos em quatro grupos. A CTTEF foi diagnosticada de acordo com o ICHD-III. O RDC / TMD foi usado para classificar as DTMs e o bruxismo acordado; o bruxismo do sono foi diagnosticado de acordo com o ICSD-3; e a ansiedade foi classificada usando o Inventário de Ansiedade de Beck. Nos modelos estatísticos, utilizou-se um nível de significância de 95%. O teste Qui-quadrado avaliou a ansiedade. Resultados Associações foram encontradas entre CTTEF, DTMs dolorosas, bruxismo diurno e ansiedade (p < 0,0005). O bruxismo do sono não foi fator de risco (p = 0,119), mas quando associado à atividade diurna (p = 0,011). Conclusão Ansiedade e bruxismo diurno foram fatores de risco independentes para o desenvolvimento de CTTEF associado a DTMs dolorosas. Apenas o bruxismo diurno foi fator de risco para CTTEF com DTMs não dolorosas.

ABSTRACT Tension-type headaches (TTH) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are comorbid diseases affecting, especially, women. One of the underlying mechanisms for both is autonomic dysfunction in the brain-gut axis. We aimed to evaluate the factors accompanying TTH and their relation to functional gastrointestinal disorders. Methods: Women diagnosed with TTH were questioned about headache pattern and severity, and accompanying factors, as well as being screened for IBS according to the Rome III criteria. The participants were divided into two groups: constipation-dominant IBS (IBS-C) group and "others", with a total of 115 individuals included in the study. Results: Of the 115 patients; 48 (41.8%) of the women had IBS-C criteria while 67 (58.2%) described mixed-type IBS or diarrhea-dominant IBS. There were no significant differences in terms of mean age (p = 0.290), body mass index (p = 0.212), visual analog scale (p = 0.965), duration of attacks (p = 0.692), and episodic/chronic type (p = 0.553). Osmophobia was seen in 43.5%; phonophobia in 68.7%, and photophobia in 47.0% of the patients, and only osmophobia was significantly associated in women in the IBS-C group (p = 0.001). Conclusion: In female patients with TTH, a higher level of constipation was detected. The relationship of these two diseases suggests that they may share common mechanisms. This is the first study showing the relationship of osmophobia with constipation.
RESUMO As cefaléias do tipo tensional (TTH) e a síndrome do intestino irritável (IBS) são comorbidades que afetam especialmente as mulheres. O mecanismo subjacente para ambas é a disfunção autonômica no eixo cérebro-intestino. Nosso objetivo foi avaliar os fatores que acompanham as TTH e sua relação com distúrbios gastrointestinais funcionais (FGID). Métodos: Mulheres com diagnóstico de TTH foram questionadas quanto ao padrão e gravidade da cefaleia, fatores acompanhantes e triadas para IBS de acordo com os critérios de Roma III e foram divididas em dois grupos: grupo com IBS com predominância de constipação (IBS-C) e as demais. Um total de 115 mulheres foram incluídas no estudo. Resultados: Do total de 115 pacientes; 48 (41,8%) das mulheres tiveram os critérios da IBS-C, enquanto 67 (58,2%) tiveram IBS do tipo misto ou IBS com predominância de diarreia. Não houve diferenças significativas em termos de idade média (p = 0,290), índice de massa corporal (IMC) (p = 0,212), escala visual analógica (VAS) (p = 0,965), duração dos ataques (p = 0,692), e tipo episódico / crônico (p = 0,553). Osmofobia foi observada em 43,5% das pacientes; fonofobia em 68,7% e fotofobia em 47,0%, e apenas osmofobia foi significativamente associada no grupo de mulheres com predominância de constipação (p = 0,001). Conclusão: Em pacientes do sexo feminino com TTH, encontra-se uma maior constipação. A relação dessas duas doenças sugere que elas podem compartilhar mecanismos comuns. Além disso, este é o primeiro estudo mostrando a relação da osmofobia com a constipação.
