“…Nevertheless, after 4 years the relapse rate into drug overuse in our patients ranged around 60%, whereas Lu et al [40] found a 44% relapse rate into drug overuse after two years. It may not be so surprising considering that the relapse rate reported by Bigal et al [41] was 30% and that by Katsarava et al [34] was about 35% after only a oneyear follow-up, with an initial success rate of 97% in the Katsarava series vs. an initial success rate of 60% in our patients [39].…”

Chronic daily headache: how to manage it?

The role of daily analgesic use (also called abuse) in chronic daily headache (CDH) for the maintenance of chronic headache is discussed. The comprehension of the underlying mechanisms of actions is lacking mainly because of the absence of animal models. The abuse should be considered as a compulsive behavior rather than linked to the type of analgesic used and related both to "how" the drug is taken and to "what" drug is used. Moreover, there is no evidence of addictive personality in these patients, and also predictive factors for the long-term outcomes are inconsistent. In the literature specific indications are lacking for the treatment to be performed in these patients. In conclusion, the main problem for these patients is to manage their headaches, and the aim of the therapy should be to enable patients to feel in control of their migraine rather than feel that migraine or analgesic drugs control them.

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

“…In a population of 1883 subjects, 4,7% (89 patients) fulfilled the proposed criteria for CDH being 47,2% (42 patients) with CTTH and 50,6% (45 patients) with TM. Lu et al 13 found lower percentages. Among 3377 subjects, 108 (3,2%) fulfilled the proposed criteria for CDH, with a higher prevalence in women (4,3%) than in men (1,9%).…”

“…While the majority of the patients from clinic population studies present with CDH due to transformed migraine, CDH affects 3,2 to 4,3% of subjects from random population series 1,13,14 . Chronic tensiontype headache and TM are similarly prevalent reaching percentages around 50% for each of the groups.…”

-Chronic daily headache (CDH) refers to a group of non-paroxysmal daily or near-daily headaches with peculiar characteristics that are highly prevalent in populations of neurological clinics and not uncommon among non-patient populations. Most of the patients with CDH had, as primary diagnosis, episodic migraine, which, with the time, presented a progressive frequency, pattern modification and loss of specific migraine characteristics. Other CDH patients had chronic tension-type headache, new daily persistent headache and hemicrania continua, which evolved thru the time to the daily or near-daily presentation. The objective of this study was to determine the primary headache diagnosis among a population of chronic daily headache patients attending a tertiary center for headache treatment. During a 5-year period 651 consecutive chronic daily headache patients attending a private subspecialty center were studied prospectively. The criteria adopted were those proposed by Silberstein et al (1994Silberstein et al ( , revised 1996. Five hundred seventy four patients (88.1%) had episodic migraine as primary headache before turning into daily presentation, 52 (8%) had chronic tensiontype headache, 14 (2.2%) had hemicrania continua and 11 patients (1.7%) had new daily persistent headache. CDH is quite frequent in patients from clinic-based studies suggesting a high degree of disability. Emphasis on education of patients suffering from frequent primary headaches with regard to measures that are able to decrease suffering and disability as well as better medical education directed to more efficient ways to handle these patients are necessary to improve outcome of such a prevalent condition.KEY WORDS: chronic daily headache, primary diagnosis, transformed migraine.Diagnóstico da cefaléia primária em pacientes com cefaléia crônica diária Diagnóstico da cefaléia primária em pacientes com cefaléia crônica diária Diagnóstico da cefaléia primária em pacientes com cefaléia crônica diária Diagnóstico da cefaléia primária em pacientes com cefaléia crônica diária Diagnóstico da cefaléia primária em pacientes com cefaléia crônica diária RESUMO -Cefaléias crônicas diárias (CCD) representam um grupo de cefaléias diárias ou quase diárias, não paroxísticas, com características peculiares que são altamente prevalentes em populações de clínicas neurológicas e não incomuns em populações aleatórias de não pacientes. Muitos dos pacientes com CCD apresentavam, como cefaléia primária, a migrânea episódica a qual, com o tempo, revelou freqüência progressiva, mudança de apresentação clínica e perda de características típicas. Outros pacientes tinham cefaléia do tipo tensional crônica, cefaléia persistente diária de início súbito ou hemicrania continua antes da evolução para a apresentação diária. O objetivo deste estudo é determinar o diagnóstico primário da cefaléia de pacientes com CCD em atendimento em um centro terciário. Durante um período de 5 anos, 651 pacientes consecutivos com CCD foram estudados prospectivamente. Os critérios d...
