Migraine is related to numerous factors such as hormones, stress or nutrition, but information about their actual importance limited. Therefore, we analysed prospectively a wide spectrum of headache in migraineurs. We examined 327 migraineurs recruited via newspapers who kept comprehensive diary for 3 months. Statistical analysis comprising 28 325 patient days and 116 dichotomous variables was based on the interval between two successive attacks. calculated univariate Cox regression analyses...
Burden of headache has been assessed in adults countries worldwide, and is high, but data for children adolescents are sparse. The objectives this study were o develop a questionnaire methodology the global estimation burden adolescents, to test these use present preliminary data. We designed structured questionnaires mediated-group self-administration schools by aged 6-11 years 12-17 years. In two pilot studies, we offered pupils Vienna Istanbul. performed face-to-face interviews randomly...
Abstract Background Headache disorders are highly prevalent worldwide, but not so well investigated in children and adolescents as adults: few studies have included representative nationwide samples. No data exist for Austria until now. In a sample of Austria, we estimated the prevalence attributable burden headache disorders, including new diagnostic category “undifferentiated headache” (UdH) defined mild lasting less than 1 hour. Methods Within context broader national mental health...
Background Certain chronic diseases such as migraine result in episodic, debilitating attacks for which neither cause nor timing is well understood. Historically, possible triggers were identified through analysis of aggregated data from populations patients. However, common may not be wholly responsible an individual's attacks. To explore this hypothesis we developed a method to identify individual 'potential trigger' profiles and analysed the degree inter-individual variation. Methods We...
Abstract Background In idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), sustained weight loss is the main pillar in modifying disease course, whereby glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RAs) could present an attractive treatment option. Methods this open-label, single-center, case–control pilot study, patients with IIH (pwIIH) and a body mass index (BMI) of ≥ 30 kg/m 2 were offered to receive GLP-1-RA (semaglutide, liraglutide) addition usual care management (UCWM). Patients electing...
We investigated 341 children and adolescents to evaluate the relevance of psychosocial factors in idiopathic headache. According criteria International Headache Society, 151 subjects had migraine 94 tension-type headache (TTH). Ninety-six were headache-free controls. Psychosocial covered family housing conditions, school problems, relations peer group, several other items. found that patients did not differ from Patients with TTH more often divorced parents than controls, they fewer...
We investigated whether the criteria for idiopathic headache published by International Headache Society (IHS) are useful in childhood and adolescence compared diagnoses according to this classification with those of Vahlquist. used a semi-structured questionnaire examine total 437 children adolescents referred consecutively outpatient clinic. Twenty-eight patients were excluded because symptomatic or unclassifiable headache. Of 409 headache, 70.4% had definite migraine tension-type (IHS...
We performed a long-term follow-up examination in children and adolescents with migraine tension-type headache (TTH) order to investigate the evolution of clinical features diagnoses, compare International Classification Headache Disorders (ICHD)-I ICHD-II criteria identify prognostic factors. re-examined 227 patients (52.4% female, age 17.6 +/- 3.1 years) 6.6 1.6 years after their first presentation centre using identical semistructured questionnaires. Of 140 initially diagnosed migraine,...
The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the quality sleep and degree fatigue daytime sleepiness are related migraine. We investigated 489 subjects comprising 97 patients with eight or more, 77 five seven 196 one four migraine days per month, 119 migraine-free controls fewer than six headache year. were recruited via articles in newspapers not stressing subject study. All participants underwent a semistructured interview completed Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Fatigue...
Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT)-based guided self-help is recommended as a first step in the treatment of bulimia nervosa.To evaluate randomised controlled trial (Clinicaltrials.gov registration number: NCT00461071) long-term effectiveness internet-based (INT-GSH) compared with conventional bibliotherapy (BIB-GSH) females nervosa.A total 155 participants were randomly assigned to INT-GSH or BIB-GSH for 7 months. Outcomes assessed at baseline, month 4, and 18.The greatest improvement was...
Recurrent and especially chronic headaches are associated with psychiatric comorbidities such as depression anxiety. Only few studies examined the impact of anxiety on episodic (EH) headache (CH), data for Austria missing at all. Therefore, aim present study was to assess burden management EH CH in patients from eight Austrian centres. We included 392 (84.1 % female, mean age 40.4 ± 14.0 years) who completed Eurolight questionnaire. The treating physician recorded details about ever-before...
Abstract Objectives/Background Until recently, guidelines for migraine prevention recommended avoiding known headache triggers. Adhering to healthy lifestyle behaviors is also recommended. In a recent cohort study many triggers were found decrease the probability of attacks in some individuals. The extent which people with adhere recommendations unknown. We set out determine if trigger factors and daily adherence are associated decreased Methods This was an observational longitudinal...
Thirty-eight patients with “chronic daily” headache and ergotamine and/or analgesics abuse according to the criteria proposed by international Headache Society were re-investigated 5 years after inpatient drug withdrawal. At end of observation period, 19 (50.0%) had their headaches on only 8 days per month or less, 18 (47.4%) free symptoms mild headaches. A close correlation was found between frequency duration abuse, as well intensity number tablets taken month. Frequency changed within...
Detailed neurological examinations and body sway measurements with a stable force measuring platform were carried out on 30 healthy adults between 21 63 years of age. The results analyzed for sex- age-associated changes regard to three different components (total sway, anterio-posterior lateral sway) two conditions (eyes open, eyes closed). Sex-associated differences highly significant all in the oldest age group (51-65 years) which men exhibited more spontaneous postural than women...
To examine the prevalence and characteristics of acute posttraumatic headache (APTH) attributed to mild head injury within a prospective, observational study design.We recruited 100 patients with as defined in International Classification Headache Disorders, 2nd Edition (ICHD-2) presenting department trauma surgery at Medical University Vienna. Patients underwent detailed telephone interview between days 7 10 90 after injury.The APTH was 66%. had occurred 24 hours 78% lasted for median 3.0...
Headache is a leading disabler in adults worldwide. In children and adolescents, the same may be true but evidence much poorer. It notable that published epidemiological studies of these age groups have largely ignored headaches not fulfilling any specific set ICHD criteria, although such appear to common. A new approach needed: here we introduce, investigate, diagnostic category termed "undifferentiated headache" (UdH), defined young people as recurrent mild-intensity headache < 1 h's...
