“…Although research showed that headaches are usually part of the anxiety scale (e.g. Al-Turkait et al, 2011; Glaesmer et al, 2013) or at least coincide with depression and anxiety (Juang, Wang, Fuh, Lu, & Su, 2000; Zwart et al, 2003), in our non-western refugee groups headache was part of neither the depression nor the anxiety scale. This indicates that among non-western refugee groups headache is not part of depression or anxiety.…”

Background: Questionnaires are widely used to assess the mental health status of refugees, whereas their construct validity largely remains unexplored. Objective: This study examined the construct validity of two widely-used instruments for the assessment of PTSD symptoms (Harvard Trauma Questionnaire [HTQ]; 16 items) and symptoms of anxiety and depression (Hopkins Symptom Check list-25 [HSCL-25]; 25 items) among Dutch and refugee patients with different linguistic backgrounds. Method: We applied exploratory factor analyses and measurement invariance analyses to test construct validity.Participants (n =1 256) were divided into five linguistic groups defined by language family, including four non-western linguistic groups (Indo-Iranian [n = 262], Niger-Congo [n = 134], Semitic [n = 288], and South Slavic languages [n = 199]) and one western linguistic group (Germanic languages; Dutch [n = 373]). Results: Exploratory factor analysis yielded a 3-factor structure of the HTQ and a 2-factor structure of the HSCL-25. Measurement invariance 20 analyses on the HTQ showed strong measurement invariance across the groups of refugee patients. However, Dutch patients reported milder symptom severity on most items of the HTQ. Measurement invariance analyses on the HSCL-25 (not conducted in Dutch patients) indicated partial strong measurement invariance across refugee patients. Conclusion: We conclude that mental health constructs measured by the HTQ and the HSCL25 25 are to a large extent interpreted in a similar way by refugee patients. This indicates that these instruments can be applied in non-western refugee patient populations, and that local idioms of distress and inherent response patterns may not play a major role when applying the HTQ and the HSCL-25 in these populations. Yet, whereas meaningful comparisons of observed PTSD and depression scores between groups of refugee patients with different non30 western linguistic background are feasible, comparisons between patients with a western and non-western linguistic background, as well as comparisons of anxiety scores, are likely to be biased. Future studies need to establish whether the commonly used cut-off scores of both questionnaires apply for refugee patients with non-western linguistic backgrounds.

“…In addition, migraine at baseline increased the risk of developing depression (RR= 5.8;3) [66]. In another cross-sectional study, including over 50 000 adults age 20 and older, migraine headache was positively associated with depression (OR= 2.7; 95% CI 2.3-3.2) and anxiety disorders (OR=3.2; 95% CI 2.8-3.6) [62]. These associations are not specific to migraine, where nonmigraine headache was related with depression (OR=2.2; 95%CI 2.0-2.5) and anxiety disorders (OR=2.7; 95% CI 2.4-3.0) as well.…”

“…menstruation, ovulation, oral contraceptives), sleep disturbance, weather changes, psychological factors, alcohol and nutrition (e.g. chocolate) are suggested to be risk factors for triggering migraine headaches [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67]. More specifically, the risk of occurrence and persistence of headache despite treatment increases with menstruation [61], while hormone replacement therapy appears to contribute to prolongation of migraine headaches into older age [68].…”

SynopsisEpidemiological studies have shown that migraine headaches are a common finding in the general population, often associated with a high degree of disability. Additionally, migraine has a reported co-morbidity with other medical conditions, most notably with chronic pains such as temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The pathophysiological mechanisms involved with migraine are suggestive of an increased and prolonged hyperexcitability to stimuli, especially within the trigeminal distribution. Since migraine is mediated via branches of the trigeminal nerve it has the potential to mimic other types of pains, such as toothache or sinusitis. Therefore, it is recommended that oral and maxillofacial surgeons be familiar with the diagnostic criteria for migraine headaches in order to identify and appropriately treat such individuals who present to their clinics. KeywordsMigraine Headache; Diagnosis; Epidemiology; Pathophysiology; Oral Surgery; Pain IntroductionNeurovascular pains, otherwise known as headaches, are a group of pain disorders that are felt as cephalalgias, or pains in the head. Likely they are a heterogeneous group of disorders that share a common anatomic region of presentation, the head, but have somewhat separate pathophysiological mechanisms. For the most part, neurovascular pains are currently viewed Publisher's Disclaimer: This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication.

For this reason these pain disorders were historically referred to as 'vascular pains' [1], but further research has identified both peripheral and central aspects of the nervous system are playing crucial roles in the initiation and perpetuation of these pains [2,3]. This brought about a change in nomenclature regarding headache, which are now referred to as 'neurovascular pains disorders', stressing the neuropathic aspect of migraine. (Table 1) Research has continued to more closely associate headache disorders with neuropathic mechanisms, which is starting to result in a shift in how headaches are viewed -from both clinical and research perspectives. In the midst of this paradigm shift this article seeks to provide an overview of the epidemiologic data and pathophysiologic mechanisms of one type of neurovascular pain, that being migraine headaches. The reason for focusing on migraine headache is because they are known to be common in the population [4,5] and have been reported to have the most disability associated with them [6,7], making migraine headache the prototypic neurovascular pain disorder.

“…In this view a two-way relationship could link the conditions, primary headaches and psychopathology, with a mutual vulnerability between them. Longitudinal studies on patients with headache show that severity of the headache is positively correlated with the risk of developing mood or anxiety disorder [6]. Breslau et al [7] also have shown that women with a higher score on the subscale for neuroticism of the EPQ inventory had a higher risk for migraine after a 5-year follow-up.…”

Psychiatric comorbidity and chronicisation in primary headache

2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The frequent association between primary headaches and psychiatric disorders is consistently reported in the literature. There is increasing evidence that a bi-directional relationship links these somatic conditions to psychopathological events. Prospective studies show that several psychiatric disorders are severe risk factors for both the onset and chronicisation of primary headache, and for a long time it has been suspected that headache triggers psychiatric disorders, mostly of affective nature, and affects both their course and outcome. Researchers are actively involved in investigating the biological basis of such a relationship while clinicians still need to strengthen their interest in psychiatric comorbidity of their primary headache patients to improve clinical outcome and to prevent chronic evolutions
