AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose: Cluster headache (CH) is characterized by circadian rhythmicity of the attacks, and it is known to respond exceptionally well to oxygen therapy. Furthermore, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) frequently co-occurs with CH, and both conditions may be parallel outcomes of hypothalamic dysfunction rather than being causally related. The aim of this study was to analyze the association between CH characteristics and polysomnographic factors stratified by the severity of OSA in patients diagnosed with CH and OSA.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed the data of OSA patients with CH who were enrolled in the Korean Cluster Headache Registry and underwent polysomnography due to clinical suspicion of OSA. Basic demographic data, headache-related parameters, and polysomnographic parameters were analyzed according to the severity of OSA (apnea-hypopnea index: <15 or ≥15 per hour).
Results
Twelve CH patients with OSA were evaluated. The onset age of CH was higher (38.5 years vs. 19.0 years, p=0.010), and the maximal duration of cluster bouts was longer (156.5 days vs. 47.0 days, p=0.037) in the moderate-to-severe OSA group than in the mild OSA group. Unlike other polysomnographic parameters, the apnea-hypopnea index and respiratory arousal index during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep were comparable across different OSA severity levels.
Conclusion
The onset age and duration of cluster bouts were associated with the severity of OSA in CH patients. Additionally, the relatively high susceptibility to hypoxia during REM sleep in patients with mild OSA implies that interventions may be potentially advantageous, even in CH patients with mild OSA.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Headache disorders and sleep problems are common conditions with a high prevalence in the general population, and impose a considerable socio-economic burden. They show a close association with headache disorders through various relationship. The prevalence of sleep problems is elevated in individuals with headache, especially for migraine. In most headache disorders, sleep problems are accompanied by the deterioration of clinical characteristics of headache disorders. The sharing brain structures and neurotransmitters involved in the pathogenesis of headache disorders and sleep disorders may be an explanation for the close relationship between two disorders. In this article, we briefly review the relationship of headache disorders with sleep disorders including insomnia, sleep-related breathing disorders, central disorders of hypersomnolence, circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, parasomnias, and sleep related movement disorders.

AbstractAbstract PDF
A considerable proportion of individuals suffering from headache were classified as probable migraine, which is fulfilling all but one criterion for migraine. In the continuum severity theory, the mild end is thought to be tension type headache which transform into migraine with increasing severity of condition and the gray zone of headache occupies the middle ground of the continuum. Because of dichotomous diagnostic criteria between migraine and tension type headache, the position of probable migraine also could be located at this gray zone.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Objective: Obesity and underweight are known to be exacerbating factors for migraine in Western countries. In Asian countries including Korea, migraine prevalence and body mass index (BMI) are often lower than Western countries. To investigate the relationship of BMI to the prevalence, frequency, duration and severity of migraine in Korea.
Methods
We selected a stratified random population sample of Koreans over age 18 and evaluated them with a 12-item semi-structured interview designed to identify headache type using ICHD-2 criteria. The participants were divided into 4 categories based on the World Health Organization BMI categories for Asian populations: underweight (<18.5), normal weight (18.5-22.9), overweight (23.0-24.9) and obese (≥25.0).
Results
Of 1,507 participants, 71 were underweight (4.8%), 768 had a normal BMI (51.3%), 326 were overweight (21.8%) and 330 were obese (22.1%). Prevalence varied by headache type for migraine (6.0%) and PM (11.5%). Migraine, prevalence did not vary with BMI, but migraine attack frequency per month was higher both in the underweight (8.6±9.1) and the obese groups (7.3±11.2) in comparison with the normal weighted (2.5±2.7). Duration of headache attack and pain intensity (VAS score) were not significantly different between these groups.
Conclusions
In Koreans, obesity and underweight are associated with migraine attack frequency.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Objective: Osmophobia, intolerance to smell, is often reported by migraine patients during headache attack and is included as an item of alternative diagnostic criteria for migraine in the appendix of ICHD-2. Most of previous reports on osmo- phobia were hospital-based studies and osmphobia of migraineurs across population sample was not reported yet. The aims of this study are to assess osmophobia in migraineurs across Korean populationand to assess validity of alternative diagnostic criteria of migraine. Methods: We used data of Korean Headache Survey(KHS), a population-based study by a stratified random sampling in Korean population over age 19, and totally 1,507 were evaluated. Demographic profile, headache characteristics and impact of headache were assessed with a 12-item semi-structured interview. Headache type was identified according to ICHD-2. We assessed osmophobia by a question ‘Do you feel changes in your sense of smell during headache?(stronger or differently)’. Results: Prevalence for migraine was 6.1%. 50.5% of migraineurs reported osmophobia during migraine attack. Mig- raineurs with osmophobia had more headache aggravation by routine physical activity, phonophobia and higher HIT-6 score than migraineurs without osmophobia. There were no significant difference in unilaterality of pain, pain intensity in VAS score, pulsating quality and photophobia between migraineurs with osmophobia and migraineurs without osmo- phobia. The sensitivity of alternative criteria was 0.95[95% confidence interval(CI), 0.87-0.98] and specificity was 0.99(95% CI, 0.98-0.99). Conclusions: Approximately half of migraineurs across Korean population sample reported osmophobia. Alternative criteria showed good specificity and sensitivity.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Objective: Education reflects socioeconomic status and may influence pain modulation or thresholds in primary headache disorders. Tension-type headache(TTH) is the most common type of primary headache and the influence of education on the prevalence of TTH has not been well evaluated. The aims of this study were to evaluate the asso- ciation between education level and the prevalence of TTH and the influence of other contributors. Methods: For this study, a stratified random population sample of Koreans, over the age of 19, was selected and evalua- ted using a 12-item, semi-structured interview designed to identify headache type using ICHD-2 criteria. Education levels were classified into college, high school, and middle school or below. Household income and occupation were evaluated as contributors. Results: Among 1507 participants, 463(30.7%) were diagnosed with TTH; 228 were frequent episodic TTH, 224 were infrequent episodic TTH, and 11 were chronic TTH. College level was associated with a lower prevalence of tension-type headache(25.8% vs 33.8% in high school, 32.9% in middle school or below, p=0.006). Prevalence of frequent episodic TTH was lower in college graduate(p=0.002). After adjusting age, gender, and income, education level is the significant contributor for prevalence of TTH. Conclusions: Among variables of socioeconomic status, education is the important modulator of TTH, especially in women.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Background
Frequent episodic tension-type headache (ETTH) is a subtype of tension-type headache (TTH) based upon ICHD-2 criteria. ETTH is generally considered as mild primary headache disorder but the impact of frequent ETTH has not been evaluated separately from infrequent ETTH. Therefore, this study evaluated the impact of frequent ETTH. Method: For this study, a stratified random population sample of Koreans, over the age of 19, was selected and evaluated using a 12-item, semi-structured interview designed to identify headache type using ICHD-2 criteria. The burden of the headache was evaluated by the headache impact test-6 (HIT-6). Results: Among 1507 participants, 463 (30.7%) were diagnosed with TTH; 228 were diagnosed with frequent ETTH, 224 were infrequent ETTH, and 11 were chronic TTH. Thirty-two patients (6.9%) with TTH had substantial to severe impact in HIT-6 (≥56); 22 had frequent ETTH, 7 had infrequent TTH, and 3 had chronic TTH (p<0.01). Frequent TTH, severity of pain by visual analogue scales, aggravation with physical activity, moderate or severe intensity, and phonophobia influenced on total scores of HIT-6. Conclusion: Frequent ETTH is a common headache disorder and had significant impact, so medical and social attentions are promptly needed.
