“…For TTH, the prevalence of 40% (RR 3.4) in JME is also significantly higher than expected from our control population [19], but it is similar to the numbers reported elsewhere (34% in [20], 38% in [21]). The data in the literature on headache in epilepsy are in line with our findings.…”

The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of and risk factors for primary headaches in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME). Headache was classified in 75 patients with JME using a questionnaire, and its prevalence was correlated with the literature on the general population and clinical data. Headache was present in 47 patients. Thirty-one had migraine [20 migraine without aura (MO), 11 migraine with aura (MA)]. Fourteen patients with migraine had tension-type headache (TTH) in addition. Sixteen had only TTH. Comparison with the general population revealed a significantly higher prevalence of migraine (RR 4.4), MO (3.6), MA (7.3) and TTH (3.4) in JME. Risk factors for migraine and MO were female gender and for MA family history of migraine in first-degree relatives. Migraine and MA were associated with fairly controlled generalized tonic clonic seizures, MO with absences. Together with its strong genetic background, JME appears to be an attractive homogenous subtype of epilepsy for genetic research on migraine.

“…It is interesting to note that migraine appeared to have little effect in this study on CGH pain and disability outcomes for the longitudinal profile (data not shown). This may be attributed to independence of mechanisms [55-57] or the influence of treatment observed in the study on “other” headaches (migraine and/or tension-type). A clinical benefit for SMT in the treatment of all 3 headache types has been noted in systematic reviews [15-17,19,58].…”

“…However, TTH much less commonly will present as a differential challenge to the physician because the pain here tends to be bilateral and the symptoms and signs of neck involvement are lacking. CEH traits are typically not present in TTH [46]. In our series, out of the 19 CEH CHISG criteria, TTH patients fulfilled 4.89±1.57 (CH patients: 10.51±2.14, P=0.0001).…”

Cervicogenic Headache: A Review Comparison with Migraine, Tension-Type Headache, and Whiplash

Cervicogenic headache (CEH) is a well-recognized syndrome. Proposed diagnostic criteria differentiate CEH from migraine and tension-type headache (TTH) in most of the cases. The best differentiating factors include side-locked unilateral pain irradiating from the back and evidence of neck involvement--attacks may be precipitated by digital pressure over trigger spots in the cervical/nuchal areas or sustained awkward neck positions. Migrainous traits may be present in some cases. Cervical lesions are not necessarily seen, and most common cervical lesions do not produce CEH. Whiplash may occasionally induce headaches. This is suspected when the pain onset and the whiplash trauma are close in time. Whiplash-related headaches tend to be short-lasting, admitting mostly a TTH or a CEH-like phenotype. Neuroimaging abnormalities are not necessarily expected in CEH. Whiplash patients must undergo cervical imaging mostly in connection with the trauma, as no abnormalities are pathognomonic in chronic cases.

Abstract: MwoA and CEH have clearly different characteristics. The differences between MwoA and CEH are staggering. It is unlikely that migraine and CEH are linked in a nosological sense.
