A study was carried out on headache after carotid endarterectomy. A specific type of headache, similar in its characteristics to "cluster headache", occurred on the operative side in 30% of 54 patients, whereas no such headache occurred after extra-intracranial bypass or peripheral vascular surgery. This postoperative headache was not spontaneously reported by 56% of patients unless they were s...

Within 12 hours of stroke onset 2506 patients with first ever stroke admitted to the Lausanne Stroke Registry were questioned about headache. Eighteen per cent of the patients reported headache, 14% with anterior circulation stroke and 29% with posterior circulation stroke (p < 0.001). Headache was reported by 16% of the patients with infarct and 36% of those with haemorrhage (p < 0.001). The p...

(i) Is headache prevalence higher in SLE patients than in the general population? (ii) Is 'lupus headache' a separate entity? (iii) Is there a distinct pathogenetic mechanism ...

the purported mechanism underlying the development and progression of cervicogenic headache (ceh) is the convergence of sensory inputs at the trigeminocervical nucleus. this mechanism explains the radiation of pain from the neck or the occipitonuchal area and its spread to the oculo-fronto-temporal region; it also explains the recurrent headaches caused by improper neck postures or external pre...

AIM The aim of this study was to describe and evaluate the effect of an individually tailored behavioral medicine treatment in physical therapy, based on a functional behavioral analysis (FBA), for tension-type headache (TTH). PATIENTS AND METHODS Two case studies with A1-A2-B-A3 design of two patients with TTH was conducted. Outcome variables were headache frequency, headache index (mean int...

BACKGROUND Vestibular rehabilitation is the most effective treatment for dizziness due to vestibular dysfunction. Given the biological relationship between vestibular symptoms and headache, headache in patients with vestibular migraine (VM) could be improved by vestibular rehabilitation that leads to the improvement of dizziness. This study aimed to compare the effects of vestibular rehabilitat...
