Active clinical trials for "Tension-Type Headache"

Headache is the most common neurological complaint accounting for % 1 to % 4 in the emergency department (ED).Every year, nearly one million people with headache attacks have been consulted by healthcare professionals at the emergency room in the United States.The International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) divided headaches into two main groups: primary headaches and secondary headaches. The vast majority of cases who presented with acute headache attack in ED had a diagnosis of primary headache disorders (tension- type headache, migraine, cluster- type headache, and other primary headaches). However, secondary headache is often associated with underlying intracranial pathologies, and noted in % 10 of cases in emergency rooms. Despite the frequent presence of primary headaches, limited time setting and busy periods of medical assessment, leading diagnostic and therapeutic options due to the pathophysiological factors to be overlooked. To date, no study in the emergency care setting has explored the role of inflammation in patients with acute migraine and TTH. Investigators aimed to explore inflammatory markers [white blood cells (WBC), neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet, neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet / lymphocyte ratio (PLR)] in complete blood count (CBC) among MA, MO, and TTH participants who admitted to ED with acute headache attack and healthy volunteers.

The purpose of this study is to describe pain relief in TTH with Neosaldina treatment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Headache Impact Questionnaire (HIQ).

Data role of salivary inflammatory markers in migraine and Tension Type headache (TTH) are lacking. Τhe investigators studied whether headache attacks are associated with changes in C reactive protein (CRP), Interleukin -1β and Interleukin -6 in saliva in patients with Tension Type Headache and Migraine and age matched healthy controls . Τhe investigators, also investigated whether these markers could be influenced by comorbidities such as depression and anxiety.

Children and adolescents that visited the pediatric neurology clinic at the Bnai Zion medical center do to migraine or TTH headache between the years 2007-2010 were reevaluated. We used a structured headache questionnaire through a phone interview with the patients and their caregivers. Data regarding demographics, the patients' and families' medical history, and headache history, past and current (age at onset, location, quality, frequency, duration of episodes, aura, associated symptoms and treatment) were collected.

Primary headache disorders are now accepted as physiological diseases, and advanced imaging-techniques have demonstrated a migraine generator in the brain stem and increased stimulus sensitivity in these patients. The underlying neuronal dysfunctions remain to to clarified and the existing neurophysiological methods have not yet been useful. More sensitive and reliable methods are therefore highly needed. The aims of the study are therefore to develop a sensitive and reliable method to demonstrate a cortical reorganisation and expansion of pain sensitive cortical areas in patients with migraine or tension-type headache.

Patients with tension-type headache (TTH) and migraine often experience musculoskeletal complaints, like neck pain and/or jaw pain. Earlier studies have revealed an association between different headache types and neck pain and discussed the possible role of the cervical muscles. Furthermore, patients with neck pain show a decrease in motor control of the jaw, without having any other signs of TMD. Similarly, studies in patients with TMD have only found an indication for poorer neck muscle function. Patients with TMD also show a decrease in bite force and force steadiness compared to healthy controls. It is however, unknown if bite force and force steadiness are similarly impaired in patients with headache and/or neck pain. The current study will take a closer look at the jaw muscle function of in patients with TTH, with and without neck pain.
