Background Inconsistent results have been obtained with regard to headache comorbidity in multiple sclerosis (MS). Objective Investigate the one-year prevalence of migraine and tension-type headache (TTH) in Norwegian MS patients and relate this to clinical parameters. Methods A questionnaire concerning headache was administered to 756 MS patients and 1090 controls and used to determine the one-year prevalence of migraine and frequent TTH. Results No significant differences were seen between patients and controls or between patients with different disease course. Less migraine was observed in patients with Expanded Disability Status Scale score (EDSS) ≥4.0. Conclusions This case-control study does not support an association between migraine or TTH and MS.

A 15-year-old girl, who had had occasional tension-type headache, developed, rather suddenly and without any obvious reason, severe headache. She was admitted to hospital, where examination including CT and magnetic resonance scans did not show any abnormality. A visit to her own general practitioner 7 months later showed tenderness in the muscle of mastication. The patient was referred to a dentist, who diagnosed temporomandibular dysfunction and tension-type headache. After three acupuncture treatments, the patients was without headache and remained free of headache during the following 6 months.

Background and objectives Ictal epileptic headache is a rare form of painful seizure, habitually consisting of migrainous or tension-type headache. We describe a case of a patient with short-lasting, severe retroorbital pain attacks caused by frontal lobe epilepsy. Case report A 25-year-old male patient presented with recurrent attacks of paroxysmal, short-lasting, excruciating left periorbital and facial pain mainly occurring from sleep. After intracranial EEG exploration and resection of a right prefrontal focal cortical dysplasia, long-term seizure and headache remission was obtained. Discussion Our case extends the clinical and neuroanatomical spectrum of ictal epileptic headache and suggests that long-term remission can be obtained by resective epilepsy surgery. It also reinforces the role of the prefrontal cortex in the pain matrix and pain generation. Conclusion Despite its rarity, ictal epileptic headache should be suspected in selected patients, particularly those with other ictal symptoms and signs, history of epileptic seizures, or neuroimaging abnormalities.

Shiras, also known as Uttamanga is the most vital part of our body. In Ayurveda, Shiro rogas are restricted to pain or discomfort seen around cranial vault and not the disorders of brain as such. Headache is the most frequent and troublesome reason to seek medical help in our day to day life. Tension type headache is the most common, primary, most neglected and difficult to treat occurring in about three-quarters of the general population. They can range from the occasional mild headaches to daily disabling headaches in some cases. Current allopathic approach is highly limited in treating the disease with just pain killers, which again have lot of side effects. Holistic Ayurveda approach practically is found to yield very good results in the patients of headache. Vataja Shiroroga can be an apt classical correlation of Tension-type headache. Atiuccha bhashana, Vegadharana, Ratrijagarana, Upavasa and Shoka are the major causes of Vataja shirashula. Classical books of Ayurveda advocate the use of Snehana, Swedana, Navana nasya, Snaihika dhumapana and local Vatahara kriya like Lepa and Parisheka as main mode of treatment. Nasya is a special therapy in all Shalakya disorders and Goghrita is considered as best Vatahara dravya. Kushtadi Lepa is indicated in Vataja Shiroroga classically. In this study, Kushtadi shirolepa and Goghrita pratimarsha nasya is done in a 19 year old patient having typical symptoms, to access the overall efficacy. After 1 month of therapy, significant improvement was seen in the symptoms. Mild recurrence was seen post follow-up period.

The aim was to investigate the lifetime prevalence of headache and primary headache (diagnoses according to International Headache Society criteria) in multiple sclerosis (MS). The relationships between headache and clinical features of MS and MS therapy were also investigated. We studied 137 patients with clinically definite MS; 88 reported headache, 21 of whom developed headache after the initiation of interferon. The prevalence of all headaches in the remaining 116 patients was 57.7%. Migraine was found in 25.0%, tension-type headache in 31.9%, and cluster headache in one patient. A significant correlation ( P = 0.007, Fisher's exact test) between migraine and relapsing-remitting MS was found. Primary headaches are common in MS patients. Further studies are needed to clarify the mechanisms underlying this association, particularly the association between migraine and relapsing-remitting MS, and the role of interferon in the development of new headache.
