Characteristics of Primary Stabbing Headache in a Tertiary Neurological Clinic in China

Abstract

PSH was shown to have an onset at middle age with moderate-to-severe intensity attacks localized predominantly within the first division of the trigeminal nerve. Accompanying phenomena and trigger factors were common and should be noted, implying further research to be conducted.

Clinical pattern and response to treatment of primary stabbing headache: Retrospective case series study from a Portuguese tertiary hospital

“…[2][3][4][5] Previous studies have reported different demographics and clinical features suggesting that this headache may be somewhat heterogeneous. 2,3,7,[18][19][20][21] In our retrospective study we focus on the clinical findings of patients with PSH in an outpatient setting. Like the other case series summarized in Table 4, 3,[18][19][20][21] our study showed that PSH has female predominance with a typical onset in middle age.…”

Like the other case series summarized in Table 4, 3,[18][19][20][21] our study showed that PSH has female predominance with a typical onset in middle age. The mean age of onset was 52.6 years, closely related to Fuh et al 3 (53.2 years) and Kim et al 18 (54 years), although older than other studies.…”

Epicránea fugax: propuesta de criterios diagnósticos de una cefalea emergente a partir del análisis de una serie de 59 pacientes

“…El patrón temporal que se describe en la CPP es, generalmente, errático, alternándose periodos sintomáticos y asintomáticos. En cuanto a la frecuencia, la mayoría de los pacientes tienen entre 1 y 10 punzadas al día, y la duración de las punzadas suele estar por debajo de los 3 segundos (Fuh et al, 2007;Liang et al, 2014). Se han descrito paroxismos de hasta 2 minutos de duración, pero son infrecuentes (Pedraza et al, 2012).…”
