“…In the current study, we also found that both anxiety and depression levels were higher in CTTH and MOH, which is consistent with previous reports [24][25][26][27][28]. Moreover, age correlates with the line bisection errors found in the current study were consistent with many previous reports [17], implying an age-related and right-(facial decision task) hemispheric dominant tasks [41].…”

“…In order to exclude the effect of chronic head pain, we have included a group of patients with CTTH. Bearing in mind that patients with generalized anxiety disorder bisected lines significantly leftward [23], and that both anxiety and depression are comorbid with MOH [24,25] and CTTH [26][27][28], we have used the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale [29] and the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale [30] to measure the anxiety and depression levels in our participants. the Zung 20-item Self-rating Anxiety Scale [29].…”

Background: Both medication-overuse headache (MOH) and drug dependence share similar clinical features and the latter displays some deficits in visuospatial attention. The line bisection performance might help to indicate whether there is also a disruption in the visuospatial attention in MOH. Methods: We administered the line bisection test and measured anxiety and depression levels in 21 patients with MOH, 26 patients with chronic tension-type headaches (CTTH) and in 22 healthy volunteers. Results: On average, MOH patients significantly bisected leftward when referring to both frequency and magnitude, whereas the healthy volunteers and CTTH patients bisected slightly rightward. The levels of anxiety and depression were elevated in both MOH and CTTH patients compared to healthy volunteers, but the anxiety / depression levels were not correlated with the line bisection errors in all participants. Conclusions: We found a pronounced pseudoneglect in MOH, which might indicate a relatively hyperactive right or hypoactive left hemisphere, or both, suggesting the disorder's neuropsychological mechanism might overlap with that of drug dependence.

“…Although the lines of study may differ, there seems to be agreement that these conditions overlap with anxiety, depression, maladaptive coping, inability to communicate with others and deal with life events, and common pathophysiological origins 7,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25] . The results from the present study further add to the discussion on the very high prevalence of signs and symptoms of TMD among primary headache patients.…”

Objetive: To investigate the most prevalent forms of headache in a tertiary outpatient service, and to assess the frequency of associated parafunctional habits and temporo mandibular dysfunction symptoms (TMD). Method: All new patients referred to the Headache Outpatient Service in UNIMES during 2008 were prospectively assessed by the neurologist and the dental surgeon. results: Eighty new patients were assessed; chronic migraine and episodic migraine without aura were the most prevalent conditions, accounting for 66.3% of all cases. There was significantly higher use of analgesics/days for the chronic migraine patients. The prevalence of parafunctional habits was 47.5% and the prevalence of TMD symptoms was 35%. conclusion: The high prevalence of primary headaches, parafunctional habits and TMD symptoms and the inadequate use of analgesic drugs suggest that primary healthcare units need further training in the field of headache and orofacial pain. Key words: headache, migraine, temporomandibular dysfunction.Prevalência de hábitos parafuncionais e de sintomas de disfunção temporomandibular em pacientes atendidos em um ambulatório terciário de cefaléias resuMO Objetivo: Investigar as formas prevalentes de cefaléia em um ambulatório terciário e analisar a frequência de hábitos parafuncionais e de sintomas de disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) associados. Método: Todos os pacientes novos encaminhados ao Serviço de Cefaléias da UNIMES durante 2008 foram avaliados de forma prospectiva pelo neurologista e pelo cirurgião dentista. resultados: Oitenta pacientes novos foram avaliados; enxaqueca crônica e enxaqueca episódica sem aura foram as condições mais prevalentes, perfazendo 66,3% de todos os casos. Houve uso significativamente alto de analgésicos/dias pelos pacientes com enxaqueca crônica. A prevalência de hábitos parafuncionais foi 47,5% e a prevalência de sintomas de DTM foi 35%. conclusão: A alta prevalência de cefaléias primárias, hábitos parafuncionais, sintomas de DTM e o uso inadequado de drogas analgésicas sugerem que as unidades básicas de saúde necessitam maior treinamento no campo da cefaléia e da dor orofacial.

“…Research suggests that the one-year prevalence rate of TTH changes during adulthood and that TTH is a dynamic condition [48,49]. For instance, rates of TTH increased from 79% to 87% over a 12-year period among young adults in Denmark [7].…”

Background: Tension-type headache is the most prevalent primary headache type worldwide and is associated with a wide spectrum of disability. Although progress has been made in understanding the complex mechanisms that lead to the pathogenesis of tension-type headache, to date there are no clear-cut markers of what makes tension-type headache unique. Due to a relative lack of research (compared to migraine), the pathophysiology of tension-type headache is not well understood and there are gaps in the epidemiological data, particularly from Australasia.
