Recent studies on Multiple Sclerosis (MS) pathology mention the involvement of "tertiary B cell follicles" in MS pathogenesis. This inflammatory process, which occurs with interindividually great variance, might be a link between MS pathology and headaches. The aim of this study was to detect the prevalence of headaches and of subtypes of headaches (migraine, cluster, tension-type headache [TTH...

Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by a facial vascular nevus associated with an ipsilateral leptomeningeal angioma. Headache is a rare component of SWS and when it occurs it usually occurs as a migraine-like headache. We aimed to present a SWS patient with episodic tension type headache and to draw attention in different types of headaches that can be seen ...

Background: Migraine and Tension-Type Headache (TTH) are the most frequent neurologic disabilities worldwide. Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of migraine and tension-type headache among up to 15 years old. Patients and Methods: A descriptive-analytic study was conducted on 500 people in Yazd through cluster sampling method. International Headache Society criteri...

Headache disorders are highly prevalent throughout the world, and have a female predominance. More than 80% of women in the reproductive age group experience headache at some point, making it a common occurrence in pregnancy.1 The International Headache Society broadly categorizes headaches as primary or secondary. As is the case in the non-pregnant population, primary headaches (such as migrai...

The prevalence of headache decreases with older age (Table 12-1) (1). Although 90% of headaches in younger patients are of the primary type, only 66% of those in the elderly are primary (2). There are numerous causes of new-onset headaches in those over 50 years of age (Table 12-2) (3). Although new-onset tension-type headaches are fairly common, migraine and clustertype headaches uncommonly be...

Introduction: Primary headaches, defined as disorders in themselves caused by independent pathomechanisms and not other disorders, are prevalent university students considered one important health problems the world. Objective: To investigate prevalence of primary headaches analyze associations with sociodemographic characteristics use electronic devices students. Methods: A cross-sectional obs...

OBJECTIVE Headaches are common neurologic problems for children and adolescents. They are divided into two types: primary and secondary. Primary headaches include migraines and tension-type as well as comprise the majority of headaches. We detect the causes of headaches and their associations with demographic variables among children and adolescents. MATERIALS & METHODS This cross-sectional s...

Primary new daily persistent headache is a rare disorder of children and adults defined by the onset of daily and unremitting headaches within 3 days of onset lasting 4 hours or more daily. There may be a link between a preceding flu-like or upper respiratory infection in about 15%, a stressful life event in 10%, or extracranial surgery in 10%. Migraine symptoms may be present in over 50%. The ...

It has long been known among clinicians that certain foods (e.g., chocolate, cheese, and nuts), stroboscopic and flickering lights (TV and cinema), physical exertion and mental stress may elicit migraine attacks in children and adolescents (Barlow, 1984). In the first study of potential triggers, Vahlquist (1955) reported that most school children (87%) aged 10–12 years with migraine experience...

Headaches are universal experiences and among the most common disorders. While headache may be physiological in the acute setting, it can become a pathological and persistent condition. The mechanisms underlying the transition from episodic to chronic pain have been the subject of intense study. Using physiological and imaging methods, researchers have identified a number of different forms of ...
