Adolescent Headache

We evaluate personality traits, anxiety and depression in a population of paediatric and adolescent patients, correlating personality characteristics with headache and sociodemographic variables. The clinical features of headache include specific personality traits. We report a clinical study of 57 patients (age 8–18 years), divided up as follows: 12 migraine with aura, 29 migraine without aura and 16 tension-type headache. One of Cattel's tests was administered to every patient; the Children's Depression Inventory test was administered to 53 patients and the Test Anxiety Inventory test to 43 subjects. The scores obtained by every patient in each test were correlated with the characteristics of headache and with sociodemographic data. We found that patients affected by idiopathic headache share some personality traits, mainly emotional rigidity and tendency to repress anger and aggression. These traits do not seem to be correlated with sociodemographic data and the duration of headache: we considered these as characteristic of migrainous patients.

Negative Connotation

Background. Migraineurs brain has shown some functional peculiarities that reflect not only in phonophobia, and photophobia, but also in mood and sleep. Dreaming is a universal mental state characterized by hallucinatory features in which imagery, emotion, motor skills, and memory are created de novo. We evaluated dream contents and associated emotions in migraineurs.Materials and Methods. 412 subjects: 219 controls; and 148 migraineurs (66 with aura, MA; 82 without aura, MO), and 45 tension type headache patients (TTH). A semistructured retrospective self-reported questionnaire was used to evaluate dreams. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7), and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) were administered to evaluate anxiety and depression.Results. Migraineurs showed increased levels of anxiety (P=0.0002for MA versus controls,P=0.004for MO versus controls). Fear and anguish during dreaming were more frequently reported by migraine patients compared to controls, independently by anxiety and depression scores.Discussion. The brain of migraineurs seems to dream with some peculiar features, all with a negative connotation, as fear and anguish. It may be due to the recorded negative sensations induced by recurrent migraine pain, but it may just reflect a peculiar attitude of the mesolimbic structures of migraineurs brain, activated in both dreaming and migraine attacks.

Background and objectives The pathophysiology of tension-type headache is not well understood. Increased peripheral levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines may act as mediators of several chronic pain disorders. The aim of the present study was to investigate the peripheral levels of chemokines in patients with tension-type headache. Methods This was a cross sectional study evaluating serum levels of chemokines in age and sex-matched tension-type headache patients, ictally and interictally, and control participants. Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventories were recorded. Serum levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, macrophage inflammatory protein 1α, regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted, eotaxin, eotaxin-2, interleukin-8, interferon gamma induced protein-10 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results A total of 96 participants (48 tension-type headache, 48 controls) were included. Interleukin-8 levels were significantly increased in patients with tension-type headache when compared to controls (413.8 (123.4–1756.3) and 329 (107.8–955.6), respectively, P = 0.025). Anxiety and depression scores were higher in patients with tension-type headache but interleukin-8 increase in tension-type headache patients persisted after controlling for anxiety and depression symptoms. Patients with headache at the time of assessment had increased monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 levels when compared with patients without headache (2809.3 (1101–6122.2) and 1630.2 (669.3–31056.8), respectively P = 0.026). Patients with episodic and chronic tension-type headache had no significant differences in serum chemokines levels. Conclusion Interleukin-8 was increased in tension-type headache and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 was higher in tension-type headache patients with headache, suggesting that pro-inflammatory mechanisms may participate in tension-type headache pathophysiology.

We conducted a study including patients with tension type headache (TTH) (n = 60) at the age of 37.2 ± 10.2. The criteria for the International Headache Classification, third edition (beta version) were used. The following outcome measures were compared: EEG, visual analog scale (VAS), hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), pulse variation measurement, Wein Scale. 60 patients presenting with TTH were randomly assigned to phenibut (500 mg/day) or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) for 4 weeks. The findings indicate the potential benefit of phenibut as effective and safe symptomatic therapy in diverse forms of tension type headache.

Determinants of quality of life (QoL) in primary headaches remain unclear. We studied QoL in 107 patients (50 migraine patients, 57 tension-type headache — TTH-patients) and 10 healthy subjects. QoL in headache patients was reduced and strongly correlated with passive coping strategies preference, levels of anxiety and depression. In migraine QoL depended on duration of the disease, intensity of pain and MIDAS score. In TTH no clinical features of the disease influenced QoL. Biofeedback showed high effectiveness in primary headaches which depended on coping strategies of patients.

The purpose of the study was to compare cognitive functions in patients with episodic tension-type headache (EpTTH) and chronic tension-type headache (ChTTH).EpTTH was diagnosed in 34 patients in which it combined with psychovegetative syndrome in 17 persons and with cerebrovascular disorders in 28 persons. ChTTH was diagnosed in 57patients; it was associated with psychovegetative syndrome in 17 of them and with cerebrovascular disorders in 40 of them.Difference between EpTTH and ChTTH patients was revealed only for the patients with psychovegetative syndrome. Such difference was slight and refered the tests for attention switching.. Patients with cerebrovascular disorders demonstrated worse modally non-specific problems with memory and attention and higher anxiety and depression levels that patients with psychovegetative syndrome.Results suggest the different mechanisms of tension headache prolongation in the patients with psychovegetative syndrome and cerebrovascular disorders. The chronic tension headache itself doesn’t worse the cognitive functions while general causes exist which influence neuropsychological decline as well as tension headache stability.
