“…Some features of migraine, such as attack frequency, may vary depending upon whether the population is derived from a clinic or not. 1,3,20 There also may be differences between clinic and non-clinic populations in terms of other sources of sexual dysfunction. It is already known that sexual dysfunction increases with age in women.…”

“…Although many see no need to consult a physician when they experience a headache, more than 90% of people complain about a headache at some time or other during their lifetime. [1][2][3] Tension-type headaches are the most widely observed headache type; they are observed more often in women than in men, and their prevalence is highest in those between the ages of 30 and 40 years. 3 Surveys conducted in the Europe indicate that it affects 30-80% of the population.…”

“…3 Surveys conducted in the Europe indicate that it affects 30-80% of the population. 1 The prevalence of migraines varies between 3 and 35%, and the ratio of women to men has been reported to be between 2 and 3 to 1. They are most widely observed between the ages of 30 and 50.…”

The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of sexual dysfunction between patients with tension-type headaches (T), migraines (M) and healthy controls (C) in order to investigate the relationship between sexual dysfunction and the features of headaches. The population comprised of 44 patients with M, 30 with T and 30 with C. They have completed Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX), Visual Analog Scale. The number of sexual activities over the past 30 days and the frequency of masturbation behavior in C were considerably higher than those in the headache groups. The averages for ASEX item no. 1, 2, 3 and 4 were significantly higher in those with M versus C; and both the subscales and total scores of ASEX were also higher in those with T than C. The mean score for ASEX item no. 3 and the total ASEX score were significantly higher in T versus M. In both headache groups, no significant relationship was observed between headache features and ASEX. The present study showed that patients with either M or T do experience problems in several aspects of sexuality compared with C. Further research is essential to augment our understanding of the sexual dysfunction in this field.

“…For instance tension-type headache causes 3 times more work absence than migraine, as tension-type headache causes 820 days of work absence per year per 1000 people from the general population, while migraine only causes 270 days of work absence [3]. Furthermore, about 2%-3% of the general population suffers from daily or nearly daily tensiontype headache, which causes a high burden for those affected, their families and friends as well as society [5][6][7].…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the one–year prevalence of tension–type headache in the general population. Three thousand men and one thousand women aged 40 years from the Danish population were included. They received a mailed questionnaire and the response rate was 87%. The selfreported one–year prevalence of tension– type headache was 84.7%. The one–year prevalence of infrequent episodic, frequent episodic and chronic tension–type headache was 48.2%, 33.8% and 2.3%, respectively. No tension–type headache and infrequent episodic tension–type headache was significantly more frequent in men than women ( p <0.0005 and p =0.004), while frequent and chronic tension–type headache was significantly more frequent in women than men ( p <0.0005 and p <0.0005). No tension– type headache and infrequent tension–type headache was significantly more frequent among those without than with self–reported migraine ( no headache , men, p <0.0005 and women, p =0.002 and infrequent , men, p <0.0005 and women, p <0.0005), while episodic frequent and chronic tension–type headache was significantly more frequent among those with than those without self–reported migraine, with the exception of chronic tension–type in women ( frequent episodic , men, p <0.0005 and women, p <0.0005 and chronic , men, p <0.0005 and women, p =0.08). Women are more prone to tensiontype headache than men and they have it more frequently than men. Self–reported migraine increases the risk for frequent episodic and chronic tension–type headache.

Kopfschmerz ist eines der häufigsten medizinischen Probleme. Die lebenslange Prävalenz beträgt 94% bei Männern und 99% bei Frauen. In den USA sind Kopfschmerzen für 1-4% aller Konsultationen auf einer Notfallstation verantwortlich [1] und damit der fünfthäufigste Grund [2,3]. 12-16% der Menschen in Industrienationen leiden an Migräne, beim Spannungskopfschmerz liegt der Prozentanteil noch höher. Von den meisten primären Kopfschmerzformen sind Frauen häufiger betroffen, alsMänner, die Ausnahme stellt der Cluster-Kopfschmerz dar [4,5]. Neben dem subjektiven Leidensdruck, der durch Kopfschmerzen entsteht, sind auch die gesamtvolkswirtschaftlichen Kosten durch Behandlung, Abklärun-gen sowie Arbeitsausfälle von relevanter Bedeutung.
