Presented is a selected review of the literature pertaining to migraine and tension headache of the past thirty or more years. Existence of “migraine” personality is explored. Association between psychiatric disorders and headache is examined. Problems of definition of these concepts are discussed and current thinking to resolve some of the clinical issues of these two types of headaches is presented.

The relationship between clinical features and changes in the extracranial circulation was studied during 209 separate attacks of headache affecting the anterior part of the head. Extracranial vascular changes were assessed thermographically and by the change in headache intensity when pressure was applied over the superficial temporal and common carotid arteries. In unilateral headaches, increased heat loss from the affected frontotemporal region was observed most frequently in attacks which were temporarily relieved by compression to the superficial temporal artery; thermographic asymmetry disappeared as the headache abated. Although such headaches were associated more frequently with migrainous features than attacks which did not respond to arterial compression, many headaches with clinical features of migraine had no vascular component detectable by thermography or vascular compression. Furthermore, the response to arterial compression was not consistent from one headache to another in the same patient. It was concluded that extracranial vascular changes recur intermittently in headache-prone patients, depending on the severity of pain and association with other features commonly regarded as migrainous. However, there was no clear demarcation point between entities diagnosed clinically as “migraine” and “tension headache”.

В остром и раннем восстановительном периодах церебрального инсульта взаимосвязь между биоэлектрической активностью головного мозга и клинической картиной заболевания представляют значительный научный и практический интерес. В данной статье, представлены результаты исследования клинико-неврологических и электроэнцефалографических показателей, в остром и раннем восстановительном периодах церебрального инсульта, 67 больных в возрасте от 43 до 78 лет. Показано, что у больных в остром и раннем восстановительном периодах церебрального инсульта на фоне двигательных и речевых расстройств, наблюдались легкие и умеренные когнитивные нарушения, а также тревожно-депрессивные проявления. Головная боль, соответствующая критериям головной боли напряжения отмечалась у 61,1% больных. Биоэлектрическая активность головного мозга характеризовалась выраженной дельта и тета активностью, а также единичными острыми волнами, спайками, преимущественно в пораженном полушарии головного мозга, межполушарной асимметрией, повышением мощности спектров в сторону преобладания медленных волн. Показатели индекса когерентности по всем отведениям были снижены, что свидетельствует о нарушении функциональных межполушарных взаимосвязей. Более значительное повышение индекса когерентности в дельта и тета диапазонах у пациентов, перенесших геморрагический инсульт, может указывать на более грубые межполушарные нарушения, в сравнении с ишемическим инсультом. In the acute and early recovery periods of cerebral stroke, the correlation between bioelectrical activity of the brain and the clinical picture of the disease is of considerable scientific and practical interest. This article presents the results of a study of clinical, neurological and electroencephalographic parameters, in the acute and early recovery periods of cerebral stroke, in 67 patients aged from 43 to 78. Mild and moderate cognitive impairment as well as anxiety and depressive manifestations were shown among patients in the acute and early recovery periods of cerebral stroke amid the motor and speech disorders. Headache meeting the criteria of tension headache was reported among 61,1% of patients. The bioelectrical activity of the brain was characterised by marked delta and theta activity as well as single sharp waves, commissures mainly in the affected cerebral hemisphere, interhemispheric asymmetry and by increase in the spectrum power towards the predominance of slow waves. The coherence index scores were decreased on all directions, indicating impaired functional interhemispheric connectivity. A greater increase in coherence index in the delta and theta bands among haemorrhagic stroke patients may indicate more severe interhemispheric disturbances compared to ischaemic stroke.

AbstractPosttraumatic headaches are among the most challenging complaints after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). They are a debilitating problem experienced by patients after TBI of all severities. Up to 90% of mild TBI patients experience headache, particularly if female and with a premorbid history of primary headache. Tension headache has classically been the most common subtype, but in military populations migraine has dominated. Posttraumatic headache encompasses a spectrum of headache types that overlap heavily with common primary headache disorders, but also autonomic cephalgias as well as several secondary headache conditions. It is important to understand the evolution of postconcussion syndrome as a concept, and the challenges associated with diagnosing and treating multidomain drivers effectively. The first-line treatments for posttraumatic headache are typically the same as those used in nontraumatic headache, with additional considerations for cognitive side effects, posttraumatic epilepsy, and coexisting injuries resulting in neuropathic pain or medication overuse.
