This international study aims to examine the size and determinants of impact stroke on five-year survivors' health-related quality life (HRQoL) in four different European countries.Patients were recruited consecutively rehabilitation centers. Five years after stroke, EuroQol-visual analog scale (EQ-VAS) was administered 226 first-ever patients. Impact determined by calculating EQ-VAS z-norm scores (= deviation - expressed SD patients' level relative their age-and gender-matched national...
Recovery of patients within the first 6 months after stroke is well documented, but there has been little research on long-term recovery. The aim this study was to analyze functional and motor recovery between admission rehabilitation centres 5 years stroke.This follow-up Collaborative Evaluation Rehabilitation in Stroke Across Europe study, included from 4 European centres. Patients were assessed admission, at 2 months, stroke, using Barthel Index, Rivermead Motor Assessment Gross Function,...
Objectives. Medication-overuse headache (MOH) is associated with psychiatric comorbidities. Neurobiological similarities to substance dependence have been suggested. This study investigated grey matter changes, focussing on pain and reward systems. Methods. Using voxel-based morphometry, structural MRIs were compared between 29 patients both, MOH migraine, according International Headache Society criteria, healthy controls. The Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) score was used. Anxiety...
Patients with chronic daily headache and overuse of analgesics, triptans, or other acute compounds, are considered to suffer from medication-overuse (MOH). This implies that medication is the cause chronification. It remains a key question why only two-thirds patients migraine-like pain improve after detoxification, whereas remainder continue have headache. In present longitudinal MRI study, we used voxel-based morphometry investigate gray matter changes related withdrawal in group humans...
In collaboration with some of the leading headache centres in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, we have established new guidelines for treatment migraine attacks prevention migraine. A thorough literature research last 10 years has been basis current recommendations. At beginning, present therapeutic novelties, followed by a summary all After an introduction, cover topics like drug therapy practical experience, non-effective medication, prevention, interventional methods, non-medicational...
Objective This study aims to analyse the effect of discontinuation anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide antibodies on monthly migraine days after 12 treatment months. Background Anti-calcitonin have been a game changer in prophylaxis. However, high costs warrant reducing duration essential minimum. Methods We collected data patients with who had received and for Results included 52 patients. The average number was 16 ± 7 at baseline, 6 third, 5 4 12th month. After interruption, first month,...
Abstract Background Headache is a frequent symptom following COVID-19 immunization with typical onset within days post-vaccination. Cases of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) have been reported in adenovirus vector-based vaccine recipients. Findings We reviewed all related CVT published cases by April 30, 2021. assessed demographic, clinical variables and the interval between vaccination headache. whether presence headache was associated higher probability death or intracranial hemorrhage....
Introduction: Infiltration of the greater occipital nerve (GON) with local anaesthetics and corticosteroids is a treatment option for cluster headache. Methods: We retrospectively analysed efficacy safety 121 GON injections in 60 patients episodic or chronic headache over period 4 years. Results: Almost 80% infiltrations were at least partially effective (reduction attack frequency, duration severity) 45% resulted complete response (no further attacks). The effect was maintained 3.5 weeks on...
Background: Nowadays, social media video-sharing website YouTube is globally accessible and used for sharing news information. It also serves as a tool migraine sufferers seeking guidance about Daith piercing potential treatment; however, shared disseminated video content rarely regulated does not follow evidence-based medicine. Objective: To investigate the content, quality, reliability of videos on treatment migraine. Methods: were systematically searched from portal inception until 17th...
Migraine affects around one billion individuals worldwide, many in their working life, leading to significant personal and societal burdens. As modern environments continue change, so do the expectations of new generations employees. The importance creating migraine-friendly workspaces is becoming increasingly pressing. Swiss Headache Society’s workspace (MFWS) proposal aims reduce direct indirect costs associated with migraines provides practical recommendations interventions for designing...
Background Chronic cluster headache (CH) affects around one in 10,000 people, some of them are resistant to a multitude treatments. Case We present case report patient with treatment chronic CH which has significantly improved the setting gender-affirming care and hormonal cyproterone acetate estradiol. Conclusion The contributes growing body literature suggesting that factors may impact clinical course primary disorders, including CH. Particularly context transgender patients hormone...
Migraine seems to be substantially related hormonal changes. However, migraine, but also the use of combined oral contraceptives (COC), is associated with an increased risk for vascular events. Therefore progestagen-only contraception important alternative preparations. Clinical observations and one pilot study demonstrate that desogestrel 75 µg may have a positive impact on migraine.The aim this retrospective analysis prospectively collected headache diaries was effect frequency, intensity...
Background Neuroimaging studies revealed structural and functional changes in medication-overuse headache (MOH), but it remains unclear whether similar could be observed other chronic pain disorders. Methods In this cross-sectional study, we investigated connectivity (FC) with resting-state magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) white matter integrity using diffusion tensor (DTI) to measure fractional anisotropy (FA) mean diffusivity (MD) patients MOH ( N = 12) relative two control groups:...
Objective The aim of this study was to measure the interictal burden (IIB) associated with cluster headache (CH). Background CH is characterized by an alternation excruciatingly painful attacks and pain‐free periods. Absence pain does not necessarily imply absence symptoms, though. Some may persist or improve more slowly than pain; others arise in between attacks. Methods Participants filled out online survey based on EUROLIGHT questionnaire. Inclusion criteria were a reported diagnosis...
Migraine pathophysiology is complex and probably involves cortical subcortical alterations. Structural functional brain imaging studies indicate alterations in the higher order visual cortex patients with migraine. Arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance (ASL-MRI) a non-invasive method for assessing changes cerebral blood flow (CBF) vivo.To examine if interictal CBF differs between episodic migraine (EM) or without aura healthy controls (HC).We assessed using 2D pseudo-continuous ASL-MRI...
The aim of this study was to collect and rate Green Flags, that is, symptoms or pieces information indicating a patient is more likely suffer from primary than secondary headache.When assessing headaches, central question be answered whether the pain another disorder. To maximize likelihood correct diagnosis, relevant signs must sought, identified, weighed against each other.The project designed as Delphi study. In first round, an expert panel proposed green flags were rated anonymously in...
