We have assessed the validity and reliability of a self-administered headache questionnaire used in the 'Nord-Trøndelag Health Survey 1995-97 (HUNT)' in Norway, by blindly comparing questionnaire-based headache diagnoses with those made in a clinical interview of a sample of the participants. Restrictive questionnaire-based diagnostic criteria for migraine, assessed according to modified criteria of the International Headache Society, performed excellently in selecting 'definite' migraine patients (100% positive predictive value). The best agreement concerning migraine diagnoses was achieved by using a liberal set of criteria (k 0.59). Similar agreement was found evaluating patient status as headache sufferers, and as sufferers from frequent headaches (>6 days per month) (k 0.57 and 0.50, respectively). The k values of nonmigrainous headache and chronic headache (>14 days per month) were 0.43 and 0.44, respectively. The results suggest that our self-administered questionnaire may be suitable in identifying a population with 'definite' migraine, and the questionnaire is an acceptable instrument in determining the prevalence in Nord-Trøndelag of headache sufferers, migraine, non-migrainous headache, and frequent or chronic headache sufferers.

Migrainous Headache

Abstract: Migraine is the most common disabling brain disorder. Chronic migraine, a condition characterized by the experience of migrainous headache on at least 15 days per month, is highly disabling. Patients with chronic migraine present to primary care, are often referred for management to secondary care, and make up a large proportion of patients in specialist headache clinics. Many patients with chronic migraine also have medication overuse, defined as using a compound analgesic, opioid, triptan or ergot derivative on at least 10 days per month. All doctors will encounter patients with chronic headaches. A basic working knowledge of the common primary headaches, and a rational manner of approaching the patient with these conditions, allows a specific diagnosis of chronic migraine to be made quickly and safely, and by making this diagnosis one opens up a substantial number of acute and preventive treatment options. This article discusses the current state of management of chronic migraine.

Background: The transcutaneous supraorbital nerve stimulation with the Cefaly® device has demonstrated safety and efficacy for the prevention of episodic migraine. However, there isn't description of its efficacy in other headaches. Case report: A 78-year-old man was seen because of a 55-year history of daily headache. His medical history revealed Parkinson's disease, dyslipidemia and mild cognitive impairment. Physical examination revealed bradykynesia and asymmetric resting tremor of both arms, the right more affected than the left. There was mild pain on palpation of both upper trapezius muscles adjacent to the occipital bone. Cervical spine X-ray, CT and MRI: no findings. Various therapeutic approaches were done, but without success, so it was decided to prescribe Cefaly®. At his three-month follow-up, he reported an improvement of about 80%. Conclusion: The case described here shows that Cefaly® may be effective in headaches other than migraine.

Migrainous Headache

The concept of dietary migraine as a clinical entity remains controversial. We review here such objective evidence that has been put forward for its existence. Red wine, in particular, is commonly alleged to initiate attacks in susceptible individuals. We discuss how some of its recently described pharmacological properties might trigger off the sequence of events leading to migrainous headache.

Migrainous Headache

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between headache and alcohol consumption among medical students. 480 medical students were submitted to a questionnaire about headaches and drinking alcohol. Headache was assessed by ID-Migraine and functional disability was evaluated with MIDAS. The evaluation of alcohol consumption was assessed with Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). There was significantly lower proportion of students with drinking problem among students with headache. This occurred both among students classified as having migraine and among those who had non-migrainous headache. There was not a correlation between functional disability of headache and AUDIT score. Our data suggest that having headache leads to a reduction in alcohol consumption among medical students regardless the degree of headache functional impact.

Migrainous Headache

Neuromagnetic signals consistent with spreading cortical depression have been observed in 9 of 12 migraine patients studied, but not in normal controls (out of 8 studied) or in patients with non-migrainous headache (4 studied). These signals consist of large amplitude, usually biphasic waveforms presumably arising from the onset or offset of spreading cortical depression in a sulcus, and prolonged attenuation of magnetic amplitudes, associated with suppressed neuronal activity. Techniques are described which recognize various kinds of artefacts and which distinguish changes in state of arousal of the patient from the presumed spreading cortical depression signals.

Migrainous Headache

In November 1990 a nationwide survey of migraine was conducted in France on a representative sample of residents aged 15 years and older. The diagnosis of migraine was based on the International Headache Society (IHS) classification. In a previous study, we validated a diagnostic algorithm which classifies headache sufferers as IHS migraine, “borderline” migraine, possible migraine and non-migrainous headache. The overall prevalence of migraine patients with the IHS criteria in the present study was 8.1%; another 4% were classified as “borderline” migraine, which we in fact considered as definite migraine. Age, gender and occupation were found to be risk factors for migraine. Neither frequency and duration of attacks nor length of time of disease differed with gender. Expressed intensity of attacks, however, was greater in females.
