Epidemiological Approach

Chronic daily headache (CDH), a heterogeneous group of headaches, includes different forms that occur daily, or almost daily, over a prolonged period of time. The nosography of this group is still a matter of debate, and in the most recent classification of the IHS (1988) only a few types of CDH are included: chronic tension-type headache, coexisting migraine. This study is an epidemiological approach to identifying the clinical features of CDH and the possible factors involved in changing episodic headache in CDH. Ninety CDH outpatients were investigated using a computerized record chart. The main observed forms were: (a) chronic tension-type headache–migraine with interparoxysmal headache, an evolved form of migraine in which a constant low severity headache develops between attacks; (b) transformed migraine, an evolved form of migraine with progressive worsening of the disease which reaches the level of continuous pain with the disappearance of typical migraine attacks. Interval headaches in migraine with interparoxysmal headache partly fulfil the IHS criteria for chronic tension-type headache. Analgesic drug abuse plays a prominent role in inducing CDH and in determining its clinical features.

Complementary And Alternative

The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in migraine is a growing phenomenon about which little is known. This study was undertaken to evaluate the rates, pattern and presence of predictors of CAM use in a clinical population of patients with different migraine subtypes. Four hundred and eighty-one migraineurs attending a headache clinic were asked to undergo a physician-administered structured interview designed to gather information on CAM use. Past use of CAM therapies was reported by 31.4% of the patients surveyed, with 17.1% having used CAM in the previous year. CAM therapies were perceived as beneficial by 39.5% of the patients who had used them. A significantly higher proportion of transformed migraine patients reported CAM treatments as ineffective compared with patients suffering from episodic migraine (73.1% vs. 50.7%, P < 0.001). The most common source of a recommendation of CAM was a friend or relative (52.7%). In most cases, migraineurs' recourse to CAM treatments was specifically for their headache (89.3%). Approximately 61% of CAM users had not informed their medical doctors of their CAM use. The most common reason for deciding to try a CAM therapy was that it offered a ‘potential improvement of headache’ (47.7%). The greatest users of CAM treatments were: patients with a diagnosis of transformed migraine; those who had consulted a high number of specialists and reported a higher lifetime number of conventional medical visits; those with a comorbid psychiatric disorder; those with a high income; and those whose headache had been either misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all. Our findings suggest that headache clinic migraine patients, in their need of and quest for care, seek and explore both conventional and CAM approaches. Physicians should be made aware of this patient-driven change in the medical climate in order to prevent misuse of healthcare resources and to be better equipped to meet patients' needs.

Type Headache

Chronic tension-type headache, which is included in the International Headache Classification, is present in only a minority of patients who present with chronic daily headache. The majority have what is termed transformed migraine, with a history of distinct episodes of migraine in the initial years which progresses into chronic daily headache. These patients with transformed migraine exhibit mixed features of migraine and chronic tension-type headache. Two distinct types of transformed migraine are identifiable, namely those related to excessive intake of medications (drug-induced transformed migraine) and those unrelated to excessive use of medications. The clinical features of transformed migraine and the drug-induced variety are described. The need for revision of the International Classification to include chronic daily headache and the subtypes of transformed migraine is pointed out.
