“…to diagnose migraine and assess the validity of the migraine diagnosis from the survey responses. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of our survey were 92.6% and 94.8%, respectively, with a kappa coefficient of 0.875 21 . Non-migraine headache was defined as any headache not fulfilling the migraine diagnostic criteria.…”

Although coffee is one of the most consumed caffeinated beverages worldwide, the role of coffee consumption in migraine is controversial. This study examined the relationship between coffee consumption and clinical characteristics in participants with migraine compared to those with non-migraine headache. This cross-sectional study used data from a nationwide survey on headache and sleep. Coffee consumption was classified as no-to-low (< 1 cup/day), moderate (1–2 cups/day), or high (≥ 3 cups/day). Of the 3030 survey participants, 170 (5.6%) and 1,768 (58.3%) were identified as having migraine and non-migraine headache, respectively. Coffee consumption tended to increase in the order of non-headache, non-migraine headache, and migraine (linear-by-linear association, p = 0.011). Although psychiatric comorbidities (depression for migraine and anxiety for non-migraine headache) and stress significantly differed according to coffee consumption, most headache characteristics and accompanying symptoms did not differ among the three groups for participants with migraine and non-migraine headache. Response to acute headache treatment—adjusted for age, sex, depression, anxiety, stress, preventive medication use, and current smoking—was not significantly different by coffee consumption in participants with migraine and non-migraine headache. In conclusion, most headache-related characteristics and acute treatment response did not significantly differ by coffee consumption in migraine and non-migraine headache.

“…The characteristics of pain and associated symptoms were less likely to be captured compared with those of migraine. Previous studies that reported high sensitivity in TTH screening [14,20,22] developed questions for determining pain severity to identify this disorder. However, in our study, we excluded questions for determining pain severity.…”

Background Tension-type headaches and migraines are prevalent conditions; however, no reliable biological markers have been identified for screening. A validated screening tool for epidemiological studies would aid in carrying out large-scale epidemiological studies. Therefore, there is a need to develop a screening tool in the Japanese language based on the International Classification of Headache Criteria, which can be used in epidemiological studies. In this study, we aimed to develop a Japanese-language tool that can be used to screen patients for migraine, tension-type headaches, and mixed migraine/tension-type headaches. Consequently, our objective was to develop a questionnaire based on the 3rd edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) using screening items for each type of headache and to examine its validity. Methods The questionnaire consisted of 29 questions based on the ICHD-3 diagnostic criteria. It comprised 10 screening items for migraine, eight for tension-type headache, and five for mixed migraine/tension-type headache. The screening results of the questionnaire were compared with the diagnoses of three neurologists, which were used as the gold standard reference. Results The study population comprised 69 patients (mean age ± standard deviation, 55.0 ± 18.7 years) aged 19–89 years who were visiting the Tominaga Hospital of the Kotobukai Social Medical Corporation. According to the neurologists’ diagnoses, twenty-two patients had migraine, 30 had tension-type headaches, and 17 had mixed migraine/tension-type headaches. The sensitivity and specificity were as follows: migraine, 72.7% and 86.7%; tension-type headache, 50.0% and 86.4%; and mixed migraine/tension-type headache, 70.6% and 67.3%, respectively. Conclusions The screening tool developed in this study has sufficient validity except for tension-type headache. The questionnaire developed in this study is a rapid and sensitive tool for determining migraine, tension-type headache, and mixed migraine/tension-type headache in persons with headache symptoms.

“…Headache calendars are highly valuable and necessary tools in monitoring headache changes in frequency and type and are recommended for headache management [ 2 , 3 ]. Diagnostic headache diaries are useful in the diagnosing of primary headache disorders [ 4 ] and have been previously validated in various studies for diagnosing migraine and tension-type headache (TTH) [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. In the long-term management of preventive treatment in patients diagnosed with a primary headache disorder, a headache calendar is recommended, if patients have learned to distinguish between different headaches [ 2 ].…”

Background: Headache calendars are essential tools in monitoring changes in headache frequency and type. They are used in clinical practice for long-term monitoring, but their validation remains limited. The aim of this study was to validate the use of a digital calendar in monitoring single migraine and tension-type headache attacks. Methods: From July 2022 to February 2023, patients diagnosed with migraine and tension-type headache were enrolled. The validation of the digital calendar involved the comparison of self-reported single headache attacks in the digital calendar with the diagnostic headache diary based on the ICHD-3 criteria for migraine and tension-type headache. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated to assess reliability, and the level of agreement was calculated using kappa statistics. Results: This study included 30 patients (87% women) diagnosed with migraine and tension-type headache. The level of agreement in the classification of a single migraine attack revealed a sensitivity of 82% and a specificity of 78%, representing a substantial level of agreement (κ = 0.60). The classification of a single tension-type headache attack revealed a sensitivity of 84% and a specificity of 72%, with a moderate level of agreement (κ = 0.54). Conclusions: The digital calendar proves effective in monitoring single headache attacks in patients with migraine and tension-type headache. In clinical practice, we recommend using the digital calendar as a monitoring tool for headache patients, as they can accurately identify true migraine and tension-type headache days.
