The pandemic of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has provoked a second pandemic, "long-haulers", i.e., individuals presenting with post-COVID symptoms. We propose that to determine presence symptoms, symptoms should appear after diagnosis SARS-CoV-2 infection; however, this situation some problems due fact not all people infected by receive such diagnosis. Based on relapsing/remitting nature following integrative classification is proposed: potentially infection related-symptoms (up...
Background Migraine and neck pain can be critical causes of disability. The contribution for the overall disability individuals with migraine remains unknown. Objective To contrast experienced by episodic chronic without as captured N eck D isability I ndex. Methods Disability due to was assessed using ndex in or seen at a university‐based headache center. Neck defined mild (score ranging from 5 14 points), moderate (15‐24 severe (25‐34 points) complete (35 points higher). compare...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Multicentre studies focussing on specific long-term post-COVID-19 symptoms are scarce. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of this study was to determine the levels fatigue and dyspnoea, repercussions daily life activities, risk factors associated with or dyspnoea in COVID-19 survivors at long term after hospital discharge. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Age, gender, height, weight, hospitalization,...
Objective To investigate the association of headache during acute phase SARS-CoV-2 infection with long-term post-COVID and other symptoms in hospitalised survivors. Methods A case-control study including patients first wave pandemic Spain was conducted. Patients reporting as a symptom age- sex-matched without participated. Hospitalisation clinical data were collected from medical records. scheduled for telephone interview 7 months after hospital discharge. Participants asked about list also...
Abstract This study investigated the association between COVID-related myalgia experienced by patients at hospital admission and presence of post-COVID symptoms. A case-control including hospitalised due to COVID-19 February 20 May 31, 2020, was conducted. Patients reporting without were scheduled for a telephone interview 7 months after discharge. Hospitalisation clinical data collected from medical records. list symptoms with attention musculoskeletal pain evaluated. Anxiety depressive...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus is associated with psychological/emotional disturbances. This study aimed to assess internal consistency, reliability, and construct validity of the Hospital Anxiety Depressive Scale (HADS), as a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for evaluating emotional consequences SARS-CoV-2 in hospitalized COVID-19 survivors long COVID. The LONG-COVID-EXP-CM multicenter cohort including patients by during first wave pandemic five...
This multicenter study investigated clinical risk factors associated with the number of long-term symptoms after COVID.Clinical features, at hospital admission, hospitalization data, and COVID was systematically assessed for patients who recovered from COVID-19 in 4 hospitals Madrid (Spain) February 20 to May 31, 2020.Overall, 1,969 (46.5% women, age: 61, SD: 16 years) were randomly 8.4 months (SD 1.5) discharge. Female gender (odds ratio [OR] 1.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.57-2.10),...
To identify subgroups of COVID-19 survivors exhibiting long-term post-COVID symptoms according to clinical/hospitalization data by using cluster analysis in order foresee the illness progress and facilitate subsequent prognosis.Age, gender, height, weight, pre-existing medical comorbidities, Internal Care Unit (ICU) admission, days at hospital, presence hospital admission were collected from records a sample patients recovered five hospitals Madrid (Spain). A predefined list was...
To estimate the pressure pain threshold (PPT) of craniocervical muscles in women with episodic migraine (EM) n=15 and chronic (CM) n=14, healthy volunteers (C) n=15.A blinded examiner obtained PPT bilaterally, by algometry, for following muscles: frontalis, temporalis, masseter, trapezius sternocleidomastoid. ANOVA (p<0.05) was used statistical purposes.Contrasted to controls, individuals EM had significantly decreased values frontal muscle (EM: 2.01±0.67 vs. C: 2.85±0.71), posterior...
To investigate the differences in pressure sensitivity cervical musculature including upper trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, suboccipital, levator scapulae, and anterior scalene muscles between women with migraine healthy controls.Cross-sectional study.Thirty 30 participated.Pressure pain thresholds (PPT) were bilaterally assessed over a blinded design. Mean values of both sides pooled for statistical analysis. Comparison groups was performed by unpaired Student t-test correlation headache...
Abstract Objectives To assess the prevalence of chronic neck pain (CNP), low back (CLBP), and migraine headache (MH) in Spanish population to identify sociodemographic health-related variables associated with CNP, CLBP, MH. Design Observational study. Setting Spain. Subjects A total 22,511 persons 18 years age or older (10,304 males 12,207 females) who participated 2017 National Health Survey. Methods Stratified three-stage sampling was applied. MH were dependent variables. The analysis...
To investigate the association between presence of self-reported neck pain in patients with migraine and clinical features, upper cervical mobility, muscle performance.A total 142 were recruited stratified by (n = 99) or absence 43). The examination included Migraine Disability Assessment, 12-item Allodynia Symptom Checklist, a flexion rotation test, Craniocervical Flexion Test.Migraine-related disability was reported more than 80% both groups (p 0.82). However, there greater prevalence...
Migraine patients have musculoskeletal disorders and pain in the cervical. And, despite pathophysiology demonstrating relationship between migraine cervical spine, effectiveness of craniocervical exercises these has not been verified. So, aimed this study was verify muscle-strengthening exercise (CMSE) reducing frequency intensity headache patients. METHODS: A two-armed, parallel-group randomized controlled trial with a 3-month follow-up performed. For eight weeks, volunteers intervention...
Objectives This cross‐sectional study investigated potential differences in cervical musculature groups of migraine headaches vs. non‐headache controls. Differences muscle strength and antagonist coactivation during maximal isometric voluntary contraction (MIVC) were analyzed between individuals with subjects relationships force neck pain clinical aspects. Method A customized hand‐held dynamometer was used to assess flexion, extension, bilateral lateral flexion episodic ( n =31), chronic =...
The role of musculoskeletal disorders the cervical spine in migraine is under debate.To investigate differences impairments neck including active global and upper mobility, presence symptomatic joints, cervicocephalic kinesthesia head/neck posture between women with episodic migraine, chronic controls.A cross-sectional study.Tertiary university-based hospital.Fifty-five 16 22 matched healthy women.Active range motion, mobility (i.e., flexion-rotation test), referred pain from (joint position...
To investigate widespread pressure hyperalgesia in the trigemino-cervical and extra-trigeminal (distant pain-free) regions women with episodic chronic migraine.Fifty-one migraine, 52 healthy without headache history were recruited. Pressure pain thresholds (PPT) bilaterally assessed over trigeminal area (i.e., temporalis muscle), cervical C5/C6 zygapophyseal joint), two areas second metacarpal, tibialis anterior muscle) a blinded design. Clinical features of migraine anxiety/depression...
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate cutaneous allodynia among patients with chronic and episodic migraine in a tertiary headache clinic. Methods 80 subjects were assessed hospital.
