The Relationship

Sleep disorders are closely intertwined with different kinds of headache disorders. In some forms of headaches, this association is profound, such as in hypnic headache, where headaches only occur during sleep, or in cluster headache, which has connection to the REM sleep. In other headaches, the association with sleep is more subtle, but nevertheless, very relevant–for instance in migraine, where sleep deprivation or excessive sleep may act as a trigger for migraine, while sleep has a curative effect on the migraine attack. This chapter focuses in the relationship between sleep disorders and headaches focusing on the five primary forms of headaches: migraine, tension-type headache, paroxysmal hemicrania, hypnic headache, and secondary form of headaches such as obstructive-sleep-apnea-related headaches and medication overuse headaches (MOH).

The Relationship

This chapter covers the relationship between sleep-related headaches and sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Sleep apnea headache (SAH), a type of sleep-related headache that is classified in the International Classification of Headache Disorders, is a distinct subset of headache that is caused by OSA and occurs distinctly on awakening. Once recognized, treatment of OSA is associated with significant improvement in, and often resolution of, SAH. Given the high prevalence of headaches in the general population, sleep disorders must be considered in the evaluation of patients with headaches. A comprehensive sleep evaluation should be an integral part of the assessment of headache disorders. Sleep apnea headache and other types of headaches associated with sleep are reviewed in this chapter.

The Relationship

The results of prospective studies, meta-analyzes and systematic reviews on the associations of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with various cardiovascular diseases (CVD) were analyzed. Currently, the mechanisms related to high prevalence of breathing-related sleep disorders among population of economically developed countries are clear, and an increase in the number of OSA patients has been shown. The relationship between OSA and CVD has been widely confirmed in large cohort studies. The first review part discusses the relationship of hypertension (HTN) and various heart arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation (AF), bradyarrhythmias, premature ventricular contraction, sudden death during sleep) with breathing-related sleep disorders. These groups of cardiovascular disorders currently show the most proven relationship with sleep apnea. In addition to cross-sectional studies indicating the high prevalence of OSA in patients with HTN and AF, some observational studies indicate an increase in the number of patients with HTN and paroxysmal AF with history of untreated sleep apnea. An analysis of the current issues of OSA phenotypes (in particular, REM-related OSA in hypertensive patients) as the most unfavorable cardiovascular factors is carried out.

This review investigates the relation between obstructive sleep apnea and sleep apnea headache, migraine and tension-type headache. Focus is made on studies from the general population with interviews conducted by a physician and obstructive sleep apnea confirmed by polysomnography. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is observed in 3% of the middle-aged population. The prevalence of sleep apnea headache in this population is 12%–18%, while morning headache with similar symptomatology as sleep apnea headache occur in 5%–8% of the general population. People with sleep apnea headache did have significantly more minutes below 90% oxygen saturation (23.1 min vs. 1.9 min, p = 0.002), higher level of average oxygen desaturation (5.9% vs. 4.5%, p < 0.001) and lower average of the lowest oxygen saturation (80.9% vs. 88.5%, p < 0.001) than people with morning headache. A comparison of those with obstructive sleep apnea with or without sleep apnea headache showed no significant differences. Thus, oxygen desaturation alone cannot explain the pathophysiology of sleep apnea headache. Obstructive sleep apnea and migraine, and obstructive sleep apnea and tension-type headache are not related in the general population. The cause of sleep apnea headache remains to be elucidated.

The Relationship

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a growing health problem worldwide. In recent years, there has been a rising interest in the relationship between sleep disorders and AF. Several studies have reported higher prevalence and incidence rates of AF in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). However, some believe that OSAHS is not a risk factor for AF; but AF, by itself, is regarded as one of the possible triggers for OSAHS. In this study, the related literature investigating the association between OSAHS and AF was reviewed, and then the possible mechanisms of this interplay were discussed. To conclude, recommendations for further research in this field were presented to researchers and some points were highlighted for physicians.[GMJ.2018;7:e1416]

The Relationship

Headache and sleep disorder are among the most commonly reported problems in clinical practice and often coexist in the same patient. The two are related in several ways, though the relationship is very complex and is still not very well understood. The brainstem and hypothalamic nuclei are hypothesized to regulate both sleep and headache. Differential diagnosis of headache during sleep includes cluster headache, hypnic headache, migraine, sleep apnea headache, exploding head syndrome, tension-type headache, and paroxysmal hemicrania. Management of these headaches depends upon the diagnosis as a primary headache like migraine and cluster headaches versus secondary headaches during sleep seen in the patient with brain tumors, stroke, or meningitis. Management of primary headaches can be divided into nonpharmacological approaches, which predominantly include lifestyle modification, diet and exercise, avoidance of triggers, and sleep hygiene, and pharmacological approaches, including preventive and abortive treatments.

The Relationship

BACKGROUND Headache and migraine can lead to depression by worsening the mood and producing an unpredictable disorganisation of life. Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are associated with headache. Tenderness of the masticatory muscles, especially in young patients, and pain in the temporomandibular joint area are also associated with migraine, which can cause headaches of varying degrees of intensity. This article presents a literature review on the relationship between the occurrence of headache and the symptoms of TMD. METHODS The inclusion criteria were English-language articles published since 2007 that classify TMD using the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC / TMD) questionnaire, and which described headache using the International Classification for Headache Disorders (second and third editions) or the headache screening questionnaire (HSQ). RESULTS Fifteen qualifying articles were found. Ten of these were included in the analysis. The authors noticed that the diagnoses were unclear, though it seems that these disorders have a similar background. CONCLUSION The current literature review confirms the relationship between TMD and headache. The authors of the articles generally agree that problems are more common in women, and that further research should be conducted on the correlation between these disorders. It is necessary to conduct further research using standardised assessment scales of both TMD and headache to compare the results. Such studies will allow a meta-analysis of the data, which will help to broaden our understanding of these problems and find conducive factors.

Years Lived With Disability

Headache disorders are prevalent and disabling conditions impacting on people of all ages, including children and adolescents with substantial impact on their school activities and leisure time. Our study aims to report specific information on headaches in children and adolescents based on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, that provides estimates for incidence, prevalence, fatal and non-fatal outcomes. We relied on 2007 and 2017 GBD estimates for prevalence and Years Lived with Disability (YLDs) at the global level and in WHO regions. The results show that, migraine and tension-type headache (TTH) together account for 37.5% of all-cause prevalence and for 7% of all-cause YLDs. Over the past decade, prevalence rates showed a mild increase of TTH in all ages and of migraine alone for adolescents. The YLDs increased among females of all ages with some regional differences that might be connected to the unequal availability of effective acute and prophylactic treatments across world regions. GBD data support the need to promote public health policies and strategies including diagnosis, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments that are expected to help reduce the disability and burden associated to migraine and TTH among children and adolescents.
