vascular headaches/headache

Two cases of headache during pregnancy were associated with MRI findings suggestive of venous sinus thrombosis. The findings, however, were atypical, and of uncertain clinical significance. Venous sinus thrombosis typically does not occur during the first and second trimesters (less than 10 percent

Vascular headache and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) are diseases that share similar symptoms and demographics, including headache, facial pain and nasal symptoms. Contribution of chronic sinusitis as a cause of chronic headache is controversial, as there are scarce studies to know incidence of

A behavioral package was used to shape and maintain the adherence of 5 subjects with vascular headache to a program of aerobic exercise training. Repeated measures of exercise behavior were examined through the use of a bidirectional changing criterion design. Repeated measures of headache activity

BACKGROUND The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Cognitive Capacity Screening Examination (CCSE) are easily and rapidly administered tests for quantifying the general cognitive status of young as well as geriatric subjects. Likewise, the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) is a brief

The clinical utility of Tellegen's Absorption Scale was examined using a sample of 32 chronic vascular headache patients drawn from a larger treatment study investigating the efficacy of thermal biofeedback with vascular headache. A regression analysis found that acquisition of the hand-warming

The author reviews the diagnosis of various vascular headaches, with an emphasis on migraine, and explains their pharmacological and non pharmacological treatments. In addition, difficult areas such as 'status migranosus', complicated migraine and migraine in pregnancy are discussed. Finally, some

Headaches are a common adverse effect of fluoxetine therapy. A patient who developed vascular headaches while being treated for depression is reported and possible mechanisms discussed.

Headache associated with intracranial venous anomalies is well described but headache associated with extracranial venous malformation previously has not been recognized. A case of extracranial venous malformation producing vascular headache is presented.

Two groups of patients with increasing vascular headache unrelieved by antimigrainous medication were selected; 1800 were taking the birth control pill and a further 200 were taking estrogens for `hot flashes'. Each group showed reduction, relief or control of the headache with antimigrainous

Headache is one of the commonest symptoms in neurology. It can be present among many other somatic illnesses. There are many aetiological factors. Pathogenetic mechanisms are unknown. There is a significant number of patients with headache, especially with vascular headache, (about 15%), and

A daily dose of papaverine (5--10 mg per kg body weight) was administered on a double-blind basis for two months to 42 successive child patients suffering from migraine or other vascular headache attacks not less than twice a month. Thirty-seven patients received the drug for the whole period of two

Vascular headaches are among the most prevalent yet poorly understood problems in clinical neurology. Headaches may develop in association with hypertension, seizures, stroke or without a recognizable pathophysiology such as during migraine and cluster headaches. Cephalic blood vessels (pial and

The dispute about whether migraine and cluster headache are one disorder--the "unified theory"--or two facets of a spectrum of "vascular headache" has not yet been settled. The author discusses various clinical features that unite or divide migraine and cluster headache in this respect: so-called

Migraine (vascular) headache is a complex syndrome that involves vascular hyperreactivity. The functions of systemic mediators in migraine are not fully understood. It is unclear which mediators provoke this probably atopic disorder and which represent an attempt to correct an imbalance. However, it

One-hundred-sixteen patients suffering from vascular headache (migraine or combined migraine and tension) were, after 4 weeks of pretreatment baseline headache monitoring, randomly assigned to one of four conditions: (a) thermal biofeedback with adjunctive relaxation training (TBF); (b) TBF plus
