Download or read book Handbook of Headache written by Paolo Martelletti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-14 with total page 787 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Headache disorders are among the most common disorders of the nervous system. They are pandemic and, in many cases, they are recurrent and can accompany the patient for the whole life. These disorders impose a substantial burden on headache sufferers, on their families and on society: the individual impact is measured by the frequency and severity of attacks, while the societal burden is measured in terms of loss of activity at work and school as well as of costs for the health system. As a matter of facts, headaches are ranked in the top ten, and maybe the top five, causes of disability worldwide: they are therefore extraordinarily common. Population-based studies have mostly focused on migraine, which, even if it is the most frequently studied headache disorder, is not the most common . Other types of headache, such as the more prevalent TTH and sub-types of the more disabling chronic daily headache, have so far received less attention and need to be better investigated. This book will provide a useful tool to a wide medical population, who is required specific skills to diagnose and manage these frequent and often disabling disorders .Furthermore, it could also represents a compendium for medical students who are usually introduced to this topic through multidisciplinary university programmes.
Download or read book Drug Induced Headache written by Hans-Christoph Diener and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: M. WILKINSON Patients with frequent or daily headaches pose a very difficult problem for the physician who has to treat them, particularly as many patients think that there should be a medicine or medicines which give them instant relief. In the search for the compound which would meet this very natural desire, many drugs have been manufactured and the temptation for the physician is either to increase the dose of a drug which seems to be, at any rate, partially effective, or to add one or more drugs to those which the patient is already taking. Although there have been some references to the dangers of overdosage of drugs for migraine in the past, it was not until relatively recently that it was recognized that drugs given for the relief of headache, if taken injudiciously, may themselves cause headache. The first drugs to be implicated in this way were ergotamine and phenazone. In the case of ergotamine tartrate, the dangers of ergotism were well known as this was a disorder which had been known and written about for many years. In the treatment of headache, fully blown ergotism is rare and in recent years has usually been due to self-medication in doses much greater than those prescribed although there are a few recorded cases where toxic amounts have been given.
Download or read book HEADACHE AND PSYCHIATRIC COMORBIDITIES A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY IN A PORTUGUESE HEADACHE OUTPATIENT CLINIC written by E. Silva and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objectives:To assess and characterize psychiatric comorbidities in patients referred to a Headache Outpatient Clinic (HOC). Background:Headache disorders, such as migraine and tension-type headache, and psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety and depression, are commonly found together among general populations worldwide. This comorbidity pattern may be explained by different uni or bidirectional models and shared genetic and environmental risk factors predisposing to the development of both clinical conditions. The coexistence of these entities worsens the clinical situation and increases the risk of chronicity and likelihood of treatment failure.Materials and Methods:From a sample of 167 patients with headache, referred to the HOC in Hospital Garcia de Orta (Portugal) between June, 2017 and February, 2019, a retrospective analysis was conducted, focusing on psychiatric comorbidities (ICD-10) and concerning sociodemographic and clinical data.Results and Conclusions:Out of the initial sample, 55 patients had psychiatric comorbidity, corresponding to a prevalence of 32.9% (52.7% mood disorders; 29.1% neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders and 9.1% personality disorders). Three patients (5.5%) had more than one psychiatric diagnosis. Only 29.1% were followed-up in a Psychiatry Consultation. Regarding headache diagnosis, 58.2% had migraine and 10.9% had tension-type headache. Headache attributed to psychiatric disorder was presumed in 10.9%, while medication-overuse headache was present in 30.9% of patients. Females accounted for 85.5% of patients and the median age was 45 years.Psychiatric comorbidities were found to be prevalent in our cohort of patients. Given the complexity of the clinical picture in cases of comorbidity, further studies are needed for the establishment of a proper and multidisciplinary intervention.
