In order to evaluate photophobia and phonophobia in cluster headache (CH), light and sound-induced discomfort and pain thresholds were measured quantitatively in 50 patients and 50 sex-matched and age-matched headache-free controls. During bout (i.e., during the active period with attacks), CH
This study developed an integrated model of severity scores of migraine headache and the incidence of nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia to predict the natural time course of migraine symptoms, which are likely to occur by a common disease progression mechanism. Data were acquired from two phase 3
Our objective was to compare the presence of self-reported unilateral photophobia or phonophobia, or both, during headache attacks comparing patients with trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs)--including cluster headache, short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival
OBJECTIVE
Arachnoid cysts are generally identified incidentally on brain imaging, although they occasionally cause symptoms because of expansion or bleeding. This study aims to describe patients in whom an arachnoid cyst was identified on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study performed for the
The main criteria of "cervicogenic headache" are considered to be as follows: relatively rare and long-lasting unilateral attacks of severe headache, although seemingly of a non-excruciating character, signs of neck involvement, and lack of "cluster pattern". In the present communication, the
The present study attempted to identify psychological differences among different headache diagnoses defined by IHS criteria as well as psychological differences by headache intensity and frequency. Differences between diagnostic categories reflected characteristics used to assign diagnoses, namely
BACKGROUND
The optimal criteria for the diagnosis of migraine without aura in children are controversial. One strategy for assessing the validity of diagnostic criteria is to compare them with expert clinical diagnoses.
OBJECTIVE
To study the agreement between clinical headache diagnoses assigned by
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of primary stabbing headache (PSH) and its prevalence in a neurology outpatient center at a university hospital in China.
METHODS
We surveyed patients via face-to-face interviews by physicians using a questionnaire for
OBJECTIVE
To analyse the clinical characteristics and course of migraine patients who were attended in the Headache Unit of a paediatric referral hospital.
METHODS
We conducted a retrospective observational study of children monitored in the Headache Unit of the Neurology Service who satisfied the
Atypical features of hemicrania continua (HC), including both visual aura and side shifting, have been reported previously. However, auras and variable unilaterality have never been reported together in HC. We report two patients with side-shifting HC with aura. These patients' symptoms are
Background: Epidemiological studies have shown different association between migraine and Meniere's disease (MD). Few studies investigated the frequency of phonophobia in MD.Objectives: This study aimed to determine the frequency of phonophobia and other features of migraine in
During the 14th International Headache Congress the results of several innovative studies that contribute to our understanding of headache pathophysiology and treatment were presented. Here we summarize work expected to contribute substantially to understanding headache mechanisms, while an
BACKGROUND
Hypnic headache (HH) is a rare, short-lasting headache occurring exclusively during sleep and usually affecting the elderly population. According to the ICHD-II diagnostic criteria, HH is characterized exclusively by sleep-related dull headache attacks, either lateralized or bilateral, a
BACKGROUND
Contact point headaches are caused by contact between the nasal septum and the lateral nasal wall by a mechanism of referred pain involving the trigeminal nerve. Our goal was to investigate headaches caused by the contact between the septum and the superior turbinate or medial wall of the
BACKGROUND
Headache is the most common nervous system complication at altitude; however, there have been few attempts to characterize clinical features of high-altitude headaches (HAH).
OBJECTIVE
To measure prospectively the incidence of HAH and to determine its risk factors and
