In order to evaluate a possible association between migraine and idiopathic narcolepsy, we performed a multicentre case-control study on the comorbidity of narcolepsy and different headaches. In total, 96 patients with idiopathic narcolepsy were enrolled. The migraine frequency in the patients and in the control group was 21.9% and 19.8%, respectively ( P = 0.722). The migraine features did not differ significantly between both groups. However, headache fulfilling the criteria for tension-type headache was significantly more often reported by narcolepsy patients than by the control group (60.3% vs. 40.7%, P = 0.006). We conclude that there is no association between migraine and narcolepsy but that patients with narcolepsy show more unspecific headache, probably due to sleep disturbances.

<p>A primary headache is the most common neurological complaint and is experienced by almost everyone throughout life.  The most common type of primary headache is TTH (Tension-Type Headache) and Migraine. Quality of sleep is associated with life satisfaction and data shows that one-third of adults are affected by poor sleep. Many studies have mentioned that there is a relationship between quality of sleep and primary headache, but no study has ever been conducted in Siloam Hospital Karawaci. We did a case-control study in Siloam Hospital Karawaci using purposive sampling, with a total of 50 patients as the subjects. Data were collected using the PSQI questionnaire and DASS 42 between January 2019 – March 2019. It was found that there was a significant relationship between sleep quality and primary headache (p= &lt;0,001).</p>

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.

Introduction Tension-type headache (TTH) is highly prevalent in the general population, and it is characterized by increased muscle tenderness with increasing headache frequency and intensity. Aim The aim of this case-control study was to compare muscle strength in neck and shoulder muscles in TTH patients and healthy controls by examining maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVC) during shoulder abduction, neck flexion and extension as well as the extension/flexion strength ratio of the neck. Methods Sixty TTH patients and 30 sex- and age-matched healthy controls were included. Patients were included if they had TTH ≥8 days per month. The MVC neck extensor and flexor muscles were tested with the participant seated upright. MVC shoulder abduction was tested with the individual lying supine. Results Compared to controls TTH patients had significantly weaker muscle strength in neck extension ( p = 0.02), resulting in a significantly lower extension/flexion moment ratio ( p = 0.03). TTH patients also showed a tendency toward significantly lower muscle strength in shoulder abduction ( p = 0.05). Among the 60 TTH patients, 25 had frequent episodic TTH (FETTH), and 35 had chronic TTH (CTTH). Conclusion Patients with TTH exhibited decreased muscle strength in the neck extensor muscles, inducing a reduced cervical extension/flexion ratio compared to healthy people.
