- Migraine, a prevalent neurological disorder, is more common in women than in men. This sex difference is more pronounced after menarche and diminishes after menopause. Migraines in women are influenced by the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and lactation, suggesting a connection to sex hormones, known as the estrogen withdrawal theory. Beyond endogenous hormonal changes accompanying reproductive events, exogenous hormonal factors such as contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy may also affect migraines. The hormonal influence cannot be explained simply by serum estrogen levels; instead, it involves a complex interplay of various factors. Here, we delineate aspects of migraines associated with endogenous and exogenous hormonal changes over the course of a woman’s life, exploring the mechanisms and contributing factors through which sex hormones influence migraines.

- Objective: Thunderclap headache is a sign of a medical emergency such as a life-threatening subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, it also may occur in primary headache conditions such as cough, physical exertion, sexual activity and even without any provoking factors. International Headache Society classified thunderclap headache disorders into four different subtypes: (1) primary thunderclap headache(PTH); (2) primary cough headache(PCH); (3) primary exertional headache (PEH); and (4) primary headache associated with sexual activity(PSH). Subtypes of thunderclap headaches are reported to share many common characteristics, although studies on the clinical features and triggering factors of thunderclap headaches are limited. Methods: Seventy and two patients with thunderclap headache were prospectively enrolled from March 2008 to June 2010. The patients presented sudden severe headaches, reaching maximal intensity within 1 minute, without focal neu- rologic deficit. SAH and other organic disorders were excluded in this study. We described clinical features, triggering factors and vasospasm, and compared between the four subtypes of thunderclap headache. Results: Of the 72 recruited patients, PTH(n=25, 34.7%) was the most frequent thunderclap headache subtype, followed by PCH(n=23, 31.9%), PSH(n=15, 20.1%) and PEH(n=9, 12.5%). 49(68.1%) patients suffered recurrent thunderclap head- ache attacks at presentation. 49(68.1%) patients had more than one provoking factor. Defecation(n=13, 16.0%) was the most frequent provoking factor followed by sexual intercourse(n=11, 13.7%). Mean age was 45.1±12.6 years(range: 15-70). PEH group (36.6 years old) was younger than other groups. Overall male to female ratio in this study was 1:1.7. Mean duration of headache was 40.7±56.3 minutes(range: 0.17-720). The headache duration was shorter in PEH(25.2±14.2 minutes) than other groups. Vasospasm was documented in 10 patients(13.9%). Conclusions: More than two-thirds of patients with thunderclap headache have more than one provoking factor at presentation. Contrary to the previous studies, vasospasm was associated in small proportion of patients.

- Background
Migraine is a common and disabling illness. But substantial migraine sufferers were underdiagnosed or undiagnosed. To improve migraine diagnosis, Korean Migraine Screening Questionnaire(KMSQ) was developed and validated in outpatient setting. Methods: A total of 507 patients who visited out patient clinic for headache were recruited in 10 hospitals in Korea and asked 10-item questionnaire concerning headache. 487 completed and returned the questionnaire. All patients were evaluated for headache and diagnosed by headache experts. Migraine diagnosis was assigned on International Head- ache Society(IHS) criteria after completing semi-structured diagnostic interview. Results: Of ten diagnostic questions derived from IHS criteria and headache expert experience, three-item subsets were deduced. Combination of questions regarding nausea, pulsating quality and photophobia showed optimum perfor- mances. Any two from the three items showed a sensitivity of 0.74, a specificity of 0.80, a positive predictive value of 80.8 and a negative predictive value of 73.5. Conclusion: The three-item Korean Migraine Screening Questionnaire was a valid and reliable migraine screening instru- ment in outpatient setting. It could help in improvement of migraine diagnosis and enhance migraine management.

- Headache is a very common patient complaint but secondary causes for headache are unusual. But appropriate selection of patients with headache for neuroimaging and other various studies to look for secondary causes is very important. Most patients with intracranial pathology have clinical features that would raise a "red flag". Red flags act as screening tools to help in identifying those patients presenting with headache who would benefit from prompt diagnostic work up for serious intracranial pathology, and may increase the yield. This paper was written with the aim to determine the clinical features that identify those patients who should undergo further evaluation of serious intracranial pathology and provide useful tool for doctor in making diagnostic decisions in the management of patients of headache.

Abstract

- This review summarized the contribution of dopamine in the pathophysiology in migraine from multiple investigators who had reported alteration in dopaminergic neurotransmission in migraine patients. A reduction in frequency and severity of attacks in migraine has been observed after they developed Parkinson‘s disease, and serum levels of dopamine was increased in patients with migraine without aura. The clinical trials involving treatment with dopamine receptor anta- gonists for migraine provide strong evidence for the involvement of dopamine. The accompanying symptoms during a migraine attack, such as nauea, vomiting, dizziness and orthostatic faintness may be related to dopaminergic activa- tion. Recent genetic association studies have addressed the possible genetic role of the dopaminergic system in migraine. The studies investigating dopamine-related candidate genes have revealed some interesting but as yet inconclusive.

- Objective: To evaluate the impact of headache variables, such as frequency, intensity, duration of attack episode and demographics on functional disability in chronic tension-type headache patients.
Background: Chronic tension-type headache does not reduce life expectancy, but it can have considerable impact on functional disability and socioeconomic status. R eduction of headache related disability is one of the m ain treatm ent goals in the m anagement of headaches. Therefore, it is essential to understand w hich headache characteristics contribute to headache related disability.
Methods
D ata from patients w ith chronic tension-type headache (n = 109) were used to evaluate the relationship between headache variables (frequency, pain intensity, duration of attack), headache related demographics (age, duration of headache illness, analgesics consumption) and headache related functional disability. The patients w ere divided into different groups based on each variable. Headache related functional disability was assessed as scores on the activity interference scale of three aspects of daily living and m issing days due to headache.
Results
In this study, higher average pain intensity w as significantly associated w ith m ore severe headache related disability. A lthough there was a tendency for patients w ith the higher frequency, longer duration attack of headache to show severe disability, these w ere not statistically significant. M ultiple regression analysis revealed that average pain intensity is only significant predictor of headache related disability.
Conclusions
For chronic tension-type headache, headache intensity appears to be a major determinant of headache related disability, while headache frequency w as not clearly related to disability. A ccording to our findings, effective symptomatic medication that can stop headache before it reaches high intensity would have great potential to reduce headache related disability and headache attacks w ith severe intensity should not be underestimated even if they are infrequent.

Abstract

- Acute management of migraine attacks is often difficult and many patients show to be refractory to treatment. As therapeutic option multiply, it is increasingly important to understand patients's attitudes and preferences regarding various treatment characteristics. A survey of populaton based sample of mig- raineurs indicated that majority of patients consider complete relief of headache, no recurrence, and rapid onset of action as important attributes of acute migraine therapy. In this paper, we also summarize and categorize the common reasons for treatment failure in acute management. That is, the diagnosis is in- complete or incorrect; important exacerbating factors have been missed; pharmacotherapy has been inade- quate; other factors, including unrealistic expectations and comorbidity. Finally we describe the strategy for swithching the way to care when primary pharmacotherapy was inadequate and suggest drugs that could be used for case of refractory to triptans.

- Background
Approximately one half of all patients with chronic daily headache report an associated regular use of analgesics, making the issue of an important public health matter. But the analysis of factors related to the development to analgesics overuse in chronic tension-type headache remain poorly unders- tood. We tried to establish the role played by chronic analgesics exposure in the natural course and clinical phenotype of headache in patients of chronic tension-type headache. And we also evaluated genetically determined innate factor that could exert a profound influence in development of analgesics overuse using serotonin transporter protein polymorphism and serotonergically related harm avoidance(HA) personality dimension. Methods: We surveyed headache characteristics via a standardized questionnaire in 38 patients with chronic tension-type headache with analgesics overuse(CTTH-AO) and in 40 patients with chronic tension- type headache with analgesics non-overuse(CTTH-NO), and in 100 healthy controls. We amplified sero- tonin transporter protein gene linked polymorphic region(5-HTTLPR) by means of polymerase chain reaction and performed genotype polymorphism analyses and investigated the serotonin related personality trait by evaluating the HA dimension in tridimensional personality questionare(TPQ). Results: We found significantly higher pain intensity and disability score in patients with CTTH-AO. Most of patients with CTTH-AO used caffeine contained compound analgesics as for instant pain relief drugs. There was excess frequency of the short allele and a different genotype distribution in patients with CTTH-AO. S/S genotype frequency was higher in patients with CTTH-AO(83%) than in those with CTTH-NO(74%) and controls(59%; P = 0.02). TPQ questionnaires showed significantly higher HA scores in both CTTH-AO(22.35.4) and CTTH-NO(19.96.7) compared with controls(16.36.1). In those of chronic tension-type headache, individuals with S/S allele have significantly higher frequency of analgesics usage (13.3/month) than with S/L, L/L allele(7.0/month). Conclusions: This suggests a serotonergic activity might be involved in development of analgesics over- use in chronic tension-type headache, and 5-HTTLPR might be one of the genetically contributing factors.

Abstract

- The usual woman life cycle is associated with carefully orchestrated hormonal milestones: Menarche, pregnancy, oral contraceptive use, menopause, and the use of replacement sex hormone. All these events alter the sex hormones and may cause a change in the migraine. There is a variety of evidence on the relationship between migraine and sex hormones. Before menarche, there seems to be no differences in the prevalence of migraine between girls and boys. But after puberty, women with migraine begin to outnumber men by at least 3～5 times and definite changes of patterns of attacks are noted at menstrual period, related pregnancy, at menopause. The hormone treatment can change the migraine attack. This paper also suggests the approaches to the management of hormone related migraine associated with oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy. Korean Journal of Headache 5(1):65-74, 2004
