“…The consequence was pain, which was localized and which could be alleviated by taking pain relief medication. Generally, symptoms of pain can stabilize and disappear within 2 weeks (Gee, Ishaq, & Vijayan, 2003;Lovely, 2004). This finding was found to be in agreement with the study conducted with patients at approximately 2 weeks after hospital discharge.…”

A cross-sectional predictive design was used to study the relationships among recovery symptoms, mood state, and physical functioning and to identify predictors of physical functioning in patients who underwent surgery for brain tumor at the first follow-up visit (2 weeks) after hospital discharge. The sample included 88 patients who were 18 years or older, had full level of consciousness, and underwent first-time surgery for brain tumor without other adjuvant treatments from a tertiary hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. Descriptive statistics, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and multiple regression were used for data analysis. The results revealed that most participants were women (75%) with an average age of 45.18 ± 11.49 years, having benign brain tumors (91%) and pathological results as meningioma (48.9%). The most common recovery symptoms were pain (mean = 3.2, SD = 2.6) and sleep disturbance (mean = 3.1, SD = 3.0). As for mood state, the problem of confusion was found the most (mean = 4.6, SD = 2.7). The physical functioning problem found the most was work aspect (mean = 66.3, SD = 13.3). Recovery symptoms had positive relationships with physical functioning and mood state (r = .406, .716; p < .01), respectively. At the same time, mood state had positive relationships with physical functioning (r = .288, p < .01). Recovery symptoms, total mood disturbance, fatigue, and vigor were statistically significant predictors of physical functioning and could explain variance of postoperative physical functioning in these patients at 2 weeks after discharge by 35%. Total mood disturbance was the strongest predictor of physical functioning followed by vigor, fatigue, and recovery symptom, respectively. Interventions to improve physical functioning in postoperative brain tumor patients during home recovery should account for not only recovery symptom management but also mood state.

“…Pain is local to the incision site and of tension-type quality [33,34]. In a prospective study of 37 patients undergoing elective craniotomy, the prevalence of postoperative headache was 60%, with a peak incidence at 12 h [33].…”

“…Quality was most commonly described as "pulsating and pounding" (36%) or "tensive" and "steady and continuous" (32%). Retrospective review of postcraniotomy headache has shown that while 91% of patients require acute medical management with anti-inflammatory drugs or opiates, 82% will have complete resolution of pain without chronic sequelae [34]. Greater incidence with subtemporal and suboccipital surgical routes suggests that pathophysiology is related to the magnitude of muscular injury during the surgical approach [33].…”

“…Furthermore, prospective study has demonstrated a significant correlation between the incidence of postoperative headache and the inability to return to the preoperative level of activity [36]. Pathophysiology is unknown, but hypotheses include incisional or subarachnoid bony debris, trapped occipital nerve, or muscle adherence to the dura [34]. Treatment should replicate that for similar headache syndromes as defined by the second edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICDH-II) [36].…”

Contemporary cancer research has led to unparalleled advances in therapeutics and improved survival. Even as treatment options continue to improve, quality of life should remain a priority. Headache drastically impacts the quality of life of patients with cancer and has a wide etiological scope, making diagnosis a challenge. Intracranial mass lesions are only one cause; others include extracranial tumors, paraneoplastic processes, and the consequences of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions used in cancer care. Fortunately, cancer-related headache is treatable, but a sound understanding of the variable etiologies is crucial to appropriate diagnostic evaluation and treatment. In this review, we highlight the important causes of headache in the patient with cancer, and consider the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical course, and treatment options for each.
