“…In an article by Takeshima et al [6] from Japan, the prevalence was 21.8% from 15-29 years, 26.8% from 30-39 years, 26.5% from 40-49 years, 21.5% from 50-59 years and 17.8% in those 60 years and older [6]. Similar results have [7,8]. As we found in our research, TTHA was mostly seen in the 3 rd -4 th decades and showed a decline after those ages.…”

Objective: Although tension-type headache (TTHA) is one of the most frequently encountered diseases in the general population, relatively few studies have been conducted on this health condition. The published data are limited on the frequency of TTHA in Turkey, and no studies to date have been initiated on the prevalence of TTHA in the city of Erzurum or the Eastern Anatolian Region. Materials and Methods:The study was conducted using in-depth interviews from 1972 individuals from city of Erzurum. TTHA was queried in patients with a history of headache, according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders diagnostic criteria, and the frequency of TTHA was investigated.Results: A total of 1972 patients were enrolled in this study. The frequency reached a peak between the ages of 40-49 years (35%), and it significantly declined after the age of 49. During an examination (palpation), cranial muscle sensitivity was detected in 33% of the patients. Conclusion:The frequency of TTHA has been identified as 22.3% in patients between the ages of 18-65. The frequency of tension type headache in the city of Erzurum was lower than that in the general population of Turkey.Key Words: Tension-type headache, prevalence, clinical features, demographic characteristics ÖzetAmaç: Gerilim tipi başağrısı, toplumda en sık görülen hastalıklardan biri olmasına rağmen bu hastalık hakkında oldukça az araştırma yapılmıştır. Gerilim tipi başağrısının Türk toplumunda görülme sıklığı konusunda az sayıda çalışma vardır. Erzurum ilinde yapılmış gerilim tipi başağrısı prevalansı çalışması bulunmamaktadır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada bölgesel prevalans oranının ne olduğunu belirlemeyi amaçladık. Sonuç: 18-65 yaş arası gerilim tipi baş ağrısı sıklığı %22,3 olarak belirlendi. Erzurum ilinde genel populasyonda gerilim tipi başağrısı gö-rülme sıklığı Türkiye ortalamalarına göre düşük olarak tespit edildi. Gereç ve

“…Primary headaches were diagnosed in 87.8% of the patients and secondary headaches and painful cranial neuropathies/other facial pains were diagnosed in 8.3% and 1.7% of patients. This distribution of headaches was similar to the results of previous studies conducted in specialized headache clinics and had a higher ratio of primary headaches than that in studies conducted in general neurology or emergency departments ( 2 9 11 23 24 ).…”

“…ICHD-3β is better than ICHD-2 in the area of other primary headaches and CM ( 5 25 26 ). According to other ICHD-2-based studies, other primary headaches accounted for 1.5-5.9% of all headaches ( 2 9 11 23 ). In this study, other primary headaches were very commonly diagnosed with ICHD-3β, with the percentage being 16.3%.…”

The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility and usefulness of the International Classification of Headache Disorders, third edition, beta version (ICHD-3β), and compare the differences with the International Classification of Headache Disorders, second edition (ICHD-2). Consecutive first-visit patients were recruited from 11 headache clinics in Korea. Headache classification was performed in accordance with ICHD-3β. The characteristics of headaches were analyzed and the feasibility and usefulness of this version was assessed by the proportion of unclassified headache disorders compared with ICHD-2. A total of 1,627 patients were enrolled (mean age, 47.4±14.7 yr; 62.8% female). Classification by ICHD-3β was achieved in 97.8% of headache patients, whereas 90.0% could be classified by ICHD-2. Primary headaches (n=1,429, 87.8%) were classified as follows: 697 migraines, 445 tension-type headaches, 22 cluster headaches, and 265 other primary headache disorders. Secondary headache or painful cranial neuropathies/other facial pains were diagnosed in 163 patients (10.0%). Only 2.2% were not classified by ICHD-3β. The main reasons for missing classifications were insufficient information (1.6%) or absence of suitable classification (0.6%). The diagnoses differed from those using ICHD-2 in 243 patients (14.9%). Among them, 165 patients were newly classified from unclassified with ICHD-2 because of the relaxation of the previous strict criteria or the introduction of a new diagnostic category. ICHD-3β would yield a higher classification rate than its previous version, ICHD-2. ICHD-3β is applicable in clinical practice for first-visit headache patients of a referral hospital.

“…Primary headache was the most common type treated by both hospitals. The proportions of migraine headache and TTH among the treated populations were similar, as was also the case in a Japanese study . Although trigeminal autonomic cephalgia was extremely rare, the prevalence of this condition was higher than suggested by the epidemiological survey .…”

Headache disorders are problematic worldwide. China is no different. A population-based door-to-door survey revealed that the 1-year prevalence of primary headache disorders in China was 23.8%, constituting a major societal burden. Many headache centers and clinics have been established in China, and headache disorders (and associated stress) are receiving an increased level of expert attention. This review summarizes the outcomes of the epidemiological survey and the progress of clinical and basic research in China, describes the present situation in terms of headache diagnosis and treatment, and discusses the future of headache care in China.
