Baricitinib (Olumiant®), a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, is the first drug approved for the treatment of severe alopecia areata in the USA and the EU. Severe alopecia areata is usually difficult to treat and relapse is common. Patients with this disorder are more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression. In two pivotal placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical trials in adults with severe alopecia areata, oral baricitinib once daily was associated with clinically meaningful scalp, eyebrow, and eyelash hair regrowth over 36 weeks. Baricitinib was generally well tolerated with the most common adverse events being infections, headaches, acne, and elevated levels of creatine phosphokinase. While longer-term data will be necessary to more fully understand the benefits and risks of the drug, currently available data suggest that baricitinib is a useful treatment for patients with severe alopecia areata. Plain Language Summary: Alopecia areata is a disorder in which an autoimmune attack is mounted against hair follicles, resulting in hair loss ranging from patches of hair loss through to complete hair loss. Alopecia areata can recur throughout an individual's lifetime and can cause significant psychological distress, with patients more likely to experience anxiety or depressive disorders within their lifetime. Baricitinib (Olumiant®) is a drug that blocks the signaling of immune messengers to halt autoimmune attack and allow hair regrowth. In two clinical trials, adults with severe alopecia areata receiving baricitinib were more likely to recover from an episode of alopecia areata (achieve 80% or more scalp coverage) than those receiving placebo. Eyebrow and eyelash regrowth was also more common in patients receiving baricitinib than placebo. Baricitinib was generally well tolerated, with infections being the most common adverse events. While longer-term data will be of interest, baricitinib appears to be a useful treatment for patients with severe alopecia areata. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examined the longitudinal relationship of anxiety, depression, and perseverative cognition with headache frequency, severity, and disability among non-clinical students in two waves. The interval between the two self-reported measurements was one month for Sample 1 (n = 426) and one week for Sample 2 (n = 92). The results showed that anxiety and repetitive negative thinking predicted the onset of migraine after one month. Depression was related to higher headache parameters after one month. Among probable migraine sufferers, repetitive negative thinking predicted higher headache impact after one month. Contrarily, metacognitions related to repetitive negative thinking indicated both positive and negative prospective relations to headache a month later, according to initial migraine status.

Background: Multiple anaphylaxis mediators have been demonstrated to provoke migraine‐like attacks following intravascular infusion, suggesting that anaphylaxis could cause headache; however, headache is rarely noted in anaphylaxis and is not included among diagnostic criteria. Objective: Our study objectives were to estimate the frequency of headache among prospectively enrolled emergency department (ED) patients with anaphylaxis and assess the association of headache with patient and anaphylaxis characteristics. Methods: A cross‐sectional study of ED patients aged ≥5 years who met anaphylaxis diagnostic criteria from January 8, 2020 to September 9, 2022 was conducted. The primary outcome of interest was headache frequency among patients who met at least one anaphylaxis criterion. We explored the association of headache with patient characteristics and anaphylaxis characteristics. Results: We included 63 patients with anaphylaxis. In all, 17 (27%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 17%–40%) patients reported the presence of a headache. Female patients had more than a nine times increased odds of having headache (odds ratio [OR] 9.3, 95% CI 1.14–77.1, p = 0.016). Presentation with headache was associated with the presence of dyspnea (OR 5.5, 95% CI 1.56–19.7, p = 0.006). Conclusion: Headache in anaphylaxis may be more common than previously recognized, especially in females. Larger prospective studies are needed to characterize headache as a marker of neurological involvement in anaphylaxis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: Investigate the use of nasal endoscopy, sinus imaging, and neurologic evaluation in patients presenting to a rhinologist primarily for craniofacial pain. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of consecutive outpatients presenting to a rhinologist between 2016 and 2019 with chief complaints of craniofacial pain with or without other sinonasal symptoms, who were then referred to and evaluated by headache specialists. Data analyzed included sinusitis symptoms, Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) scores (and facial pain subscores), pain location, nasal endoscopy, computed tomography (CT) findings, and headache diagnoses made by headache specialists. Results: Of the 134 patients with prominent craniofacial pain, the majority of patients were diagnosed with migraine (50%) or tension-type (22%) headache, followed by multiple other non-sinogenic headache disorders. Approximately 5% of patients had headaches attributed to sinusitis. Amongst all patients, 90% had negative nasal endoscopies. Patients with negative endoscopies were significantly less likely to report smell loss (P =.003) compared to those with positive endoscopies. Poor agreement was demonstrated between self-reported pain locations and sinus findings on CT (kappa values < 0.20). Negative nasal endoscopy showed high concurrence with negative CT findings (80%-97%). Conclusions: Patients presenting with chief complaints of craniofacial pain generally met criteria for various non-sinogenic headache disorders. Nasal endoscopy was negative in 90% of patients, and CT demonstrated poor agreement with pain locations. Nasal endoscopy and CT shared high concurrence rates for negative sinus findings. The value of nasal endoscopy over sinus imaging in craniofacial pain evaluation should be explored in future studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: Since vaccination against COVID-19 is recommended in pregnant people, we aimed to provide further evidence on the safety profile of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy. Methods: Data on COVID-19 vaccines adverse events following immunizations (AEFIs) in pregnant people were retrieved from the open-access Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) from December 2020 to April 2022. Results: From December 2020 to April 1, 2022, a total of 4,869 reports involving pregnant women at COVID-19 vaccination were reported to VAERS. Among vaccines recipients, most belonged to the age group between 30 and 39 years old (3,029; 62.21%) and nearly half experienced an adverse event within 48 h of immunization (2,344; 48.14%). Overall, 21,816 suspected adverse reactions associated with COVID-19 vaccines were reported, and for as many as 80.43% of patients, they were described as non-serious. Most reactions occurred after administration of the mRNA-1273 (53.34%) and the BNT162b2 (40.68%) vaccines, while only a small proportion were related to the Johnson & Johnson's vaccine (5.69%). The most common non-pregnancy specific adverse events were headache (482; 2.21%), fatigue (472; 2.16%), and pyrexia (436; 2.00%), while adverse pregnancy outcomes with the highest reporting rate were abortions spontaneous (762; 3.49%), and vaginal haemorrhage (229; 1.05%). Conclusion: This post-marketing survey on VAERS data have provided updated evidence on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy, thus supporting clinicians in recommending maternal immunization.

Objective: To assess the prognostic impact of migraine headache in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Background: Migraine headache is common in IIH, but it is unclear whether it has prognostic relevance. Methods: We investigated patients with IIH from the Vienna‐IIH‐database and differentiated migraine (IIH‐MIG) from non‐migraine headache (IIH‐nonMIG) and without headache (IIH‐noHA). Using multivariable models, we analyzed the impact of IIH‐MIG on headache and visual outcomes 12 months after diagnosis. Results: Among 97 patients (89% female, mean [SD] age 32.9 [11.1] years, median body mass index 32.0 kg/m2, median cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure 310 mm), 46% were assigned to IIH‐MIG, 37% to IIH‐nonMIG (11% tension‐type, 26% unclassifiable), and 17% to IIH‐noHA. Overall, headache improvement was achieved in 77% and freedom of headache in 28%. The IIH‐MIG group showed significantly lower rates for headache improvement (67% vs. 89% in IIH‐nonMIG, p = 0.019) and freedom of headache (11% vs. 33% in IIH‐nonMIG and 63% in IIH‐noHA, p = 0.015). These differences persisted when only analyzing patients with resolved papilledema at follow‐up. In contrast, visual worsening was significantly less common in IIH‐MIG (9% vs. 28% in IIH‐nonMIG and 31% in IIH‐noHA, p = 0.045). In multivariable models, IIH‐MIG was associated with a significantly lower likelihood of achieving headache improvement (odds ratio [OR] 0.57, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.40–0.78, p < 0.001) and freedom of headache (OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.12–0.46, p < 0.001), but also a lower risk for visual worsening (OR 0.26, 95% CI 0.04–0.82, p < 0.001). Conclusions: In IIH, migraine headache is associated with unfavorable outcomes for headache, even when papilledema has resolved, and possibly favorable visual outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this study was to assess the association between psychosocial factors (in terms of anxiety, somatization, depression, and optimism) and pain (in terms of headache pain intensity and pain‐related disability), in patients with a painful temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and one of the following headache types: migraine, tension‐type headache (TTH), or headache attributed to TMD, corrected for the influence of bruxism. A retrospective study was conducted at an orofacial pain and dysfunction (OPD) clinic. Inclusion criteria were painful TMD, with migraine, TTH, and/or headache attributed to TMD. Linear regressions were performed to assess the influence of psychosocial variables on pain intensity and on pain‐related disability, stratified per headache type. The regression models were corrected for bruxism and the presence of multiple headache types. A total of 323 patients (61% female; mean age 42.9, SD 14.4 years) were included. Headache pain intensity only had significant associations in TMD‐pain patients with headache attributed to TMD, and anxiety showed the strongest relation (β = 0.353) with pain intensity. Pain‐related disability was most strongly associated with depression in TMD‐pain patients with TTH (β = 0.444), and with somatization in patients with headache attributed to TMD (β = 0.399). In conclusion, the influence of psychosocial factors on headache pain intensity and pain‐related disability depends on the headache type presenting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Minor head trauma (MHT) is very frequent in children and post-traumatic headache (PTH) is one of its most common complications; however, its management is still a challenge. We aimed to assess the incidence and clinical characteristics of, and risk factors for, PTH among children referred to our pediatric emergency department (PED) for MHT. A total of 193 patients aged 3–14 years evaluated for MTH were enrolled and followed up for 6 months through phone calls and/or visits. PTH occurred in 25/193 patients (13%). PTH prevalence was significantly higher in school-aged (≥6 years) than in pre-school-aged children (21.6% vs. 4.9%, respectively, p < 0.009). Females were found to be more affected. The median time of onset was 4.6 days after MHT; resolution occurred in a median of 7 weeks. In 83.3% of patients, PTH subsided in <3 months, while in 16.7% it persisted longer. A total of 25% of children exhibited the migraine and 75% the tension-type variant. Our analysis indicates the presence of headache upon arrival in PED, isolated or associated with nausea and dizziness, as a factor predisposing the patient to the development of PTH. Our findings could be useful to identify children at risk for PTH for specific follow-up, family counseling, and treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Headache during hemodialysis (HDH) is prevalent but not negligible. Despite the high prevalence of dialysis headaches, they have rarely been studied. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, risk factors, and clinical characteristics of HDH and reappraise the HDH diagnostic criteria in the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3 (ICHD-3). Methods: One hundred and fifty-four patients completed this randomized cross-sectional study. Consecutive patients who underwent haemodialysis were assessed using a semi-structured questionnaire. The patients were administered face-to-face questionnaires while undergoing dialysis. Results: This study included 154 patients. Before commencing dialysis, 3.24% (5/154) of the patients had migraine without aura, 1.29% (2/154) had menstrual-related migraine, 0.6% (1/154) had tension-type headaches, and 0.6% (1/154) had an unclassifiable headache. One case (0.6%) of headache resolved after dialysis treatment. HDH was diagnosed in 9.09% (14/154) of the patients. Headache after haemodialysis (HAH) was reported in 6.49% (10/154) of patients. The most prevalent features of HDH were frontal or temporal location, bilateral headaches, dull and throbbing nature, and moderate severity. HDH started at a mean of 2.33 ± 0.79 h after dialysis commenced. The average headache duration was 6.56 ± 1.57 h (median = 3.0 h), with 66.67% of the patients reporting a duration of ≤4 h. HDH was more prevalent in females than males (P = 0.01, P < 0.05). Female sex was a risk factor for HDH (P = 0.01,P < 0.05). Conclusions: The diagnostic criteria for 10.2 HDH in ICHD-3 may miss several HAH. Therefore, ICHD-3 should be revised according to the literature and further studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Interpersonal violence (IPV) is found to be associated with mental health problems and pain disorders such as headache among children and adolescents. It is well-known that adolescents in need of mental health services have experienced IPV more often than adolescents in the general population. However, there has not been much focus on pain conditions in child and adolescent psychiatric populations. Methods: Data from the current study are based on a 3-year follow-up of the CAP-survey, which is a study of adolescents in the child and adolescent psychiatric unit population of St. Olavs Hospital (Trondheim University Hospital). The baseline study was conducted between 2009 and 2011, with 717 participants between 13 and 18 years. All participants were enrolled, or newly referred to the child and adolescent psychiatric clinic. At follow-up, 570 participants completed questionnaire, and 550 completed a diagnostic interview. The participants were aged 16–21 years (mean age 18.6 years). Results: A third of the adolescents reported frequent headaches (weekly or daily). Adolescents with more severe mental problems were more likely to experience frequent headaches. Adolescents exposed to unpleasant sexual acts or bullying, reported more frequent headaches than non-exposed participants. Participants exposed to three or more types of IPV seemed to be at particularly high risk of experiencing frequent headache. Conclusions: Both experiences of interpersonal violence and headache are common in this clinical psychiatric population. Clinicians should assess for headache disorders in addition to psychiatric and trauma assessment and provide need-based treatment to enhance chance of recovery among adolescents in mental health services.

Objective: To evaluate the association of short‐term exposure to overall fine particulate matter of <2.5 μm (PM2.5) and wildfire‐specific PM2.5 with emergency department (ED) visits for headache. Background: Studies have reported associations between PM2.5 exposure and headache risk. As climate change drives longer and more intense wildfire seasons, wildfire PM2.5 may contribute to more frequent headaches. Methods: Our study included adult Californian members (aged ≥18 years) of a large de‐identified commercial and Medicare Advantage claims database from 2006 to 2020. We identified ED visits for primary headache disorders (subtypes: tension‐type headache, migraine headache, cluster headache, and "other" primary headache). Claims included member age, sex, and residential zip code. We linked daily overall and wildfire‐specific PM2.5 to residential zip code and conducted a time‐stratified case‐crossover analysis considering 7‐day average PM2.5 concentrations, first for primary headache disorders combined, and then by headache subtype. Results: Among 9898 unique individuals we identified 13,623 ED encounters for primary headache disorders. Migraine was the most frequently diagnosed headache (N = 5534/13,623 [47.6%]) followed by "other" primary headache (N = 6489/13,623 [40.6%]). For all primary headache ED diagnoses, we observed an association of 7‐day average wildfire PM2.5 (odds ratio [OR] 1.17, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.95–1.44 per 10 μg/m3 increase) and by subtype we observed increased odds of ED visits associated with 7‐day average wildfire PM2.5 for tension‐type headache (OR 1.42, 95% CI 0.91–2.22), "other" primary headache (OR 1.40, 95% CI 0.96–2.05), and cluster headache (OR 1.29, 95% CI 0.71–2.35), although these findings were not statistically significant under traditional null hypothesis testing. Overall PM2.5 was associated with tension‐type headache (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.03–1.62), but not migraine, cluster, or "other" primary headaches. Conclusions: Although imprecise, these results suggest short‐term wildfire PM2.5 exposure may be associated with ED visits for headache. Patients, healthcare providers, and systems may need to respond to increased headache‐related healthcare needs in the wake of wildfires and on poor air quality days. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: Determine the prevalence of possible bruxism in the adult population of Campinas, Brazil, and investigate its association with health behaviors, health status, and multimorbidity. Methods: A population‐based cross‐sectional study was conducted with data from the 2014/2015 Campinas Health Survey. The sample was composed of 1986 adults (≥20 years of age). The data were collected with the aid of a pre‐coded questionnaire, and the dependent variable was self‐reported bruxism (possible bruxism). The prevalence of possible bruxism was estimated according to the independent variables (health‐related behaviors, morbidities, demographic and socioeconomic characteristics). A hierarchical model was employed using stepwise backward regression in two stages. Principal component analysis was also performed to identify multimorbidity patterns. Results: The prevalence of possible bruxism was 13.6%. Associations were found with the consumption of alcoholic beverages, sleep quality, and the number of chronic diseases/health problems. Bruxism was more associated with multimorbidity pattern 2, which was composed of asthma, rhinitis, sinusitis, dizziness/vertigo, migraine/headache, emotional/mental problem, back pain, and allergy. Conclusion: The present findings justify the planning of actions directed at reducing the consumption of alcoholic beverages and can help guide the health actions of the multidisciplinary team, prioritizing a reduction in the harm caused by the simultaneous presence of health problems associated with possible bruxism.

Introduction: Social constraints experienced during the pandemic have increased the use of online systems in both education and business life. Our aim is to evaluate the effect of overuse of online platforms on headache. Methods: This study was conducted with 1627 participants with online data collection form which includes sociodemographic data and 25 questions related to the use of online platforms during the pandemic. Results: One thousand four hundred and ninety-five participants with a mean age of 20.76±2.21 years were university students or graduates. While the average daily screen time exposure was 2-4 h (743/1627), this time has increased to 8 h and above (966/1627) in the pandemic. While 68.6% of the participants reported an increase in headaches during the pandemic, 62.4% of the participants believed in parallel that this was related to the increase in the use of online systems. When comparing the pre- and post-pandemic periods, the headache duration (p<0.001), frequency (p<0.001), severity (p<0.001), and use of analgesics (p<0.001) increased significantly in both genders. Discussion and Conclusion: In addition to COVID-19, the unfavorable role of changes in social life should also be considered in the increase of headache. Questioning the active use of online platforms during the pandemic in people with headache complaints may guide the regulation of treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Evidence is lacking to what extent patients with Whiplash-Associated Disorders (WAD), those with non-traumatic neck pain (NTNP), and pain-free individuals differ regarding type and severity of impairments, disability, and psychological factors. To compare clinical characteristics between patients with WAD, with NTNP, and pain-free individuals in primary care physiotherapy. Additionally, differences between patient groups for both acute and chronic symptoms were assessed. A cross-sectional study was conducted including 168 patients with WAD, 336 matched patients with NTNP, and 336 pain-free individuals. Differences and prevalence rates were calculated for pain intensity, pain distribution, cervical range of motion, neck flexor muscle endurance, self-reported disability, and psychological factors. Patients with WAD had higher pain intensity (median 6/10 vs. 5/10 p<.01), had a wider distribution of their neck pain (p=.02), more restricted cervical flexion-extension (-11.9°) and rotation (-12.4°), less muscle endurance (-5.5 seconds), and more disability (+14.0%), compared to patients with NTNP. More patients with WAD reported low back pain (+9.5%) and headache (+12.2%) as musculoskeletal comorbidities. Regarding anxiety, depression, and stress, most patients (>83%) scored in the normal range. No significant differences between the patient groups were observed (p>.16). Both patient groups scored significantly worse than pain-free individuals on all characteristics. Patients with WAD and NTNP experienced different types of activity limitations and participation restrictions. WAD is a more severe condition than NTNP and should be considered a separate subgroup. A different approach in clinical practice and research is required for WAD and NTNP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives. The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant physical and mental effects on healthcare workers. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between wearing face masks and headache, sleepiness, mood and anxiety symptoms in healthcare workers. Methods. A survey was administered to 365 healthcare workers working during the pandemic. The Beck depression inventory, the Beck anxiety inventory and the Epworth sleepiness scale were used to assess depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms and daytime sleepiness, respectively. Participants were also asked about new-onset headaches. Results. Almost half of the participants (47.6%) reported new-onset headaches, and 23.2% reported excessive daytime sleepiness. The frequencies of depressive and anxiety symptoms were 43.7 and 59.2%, respectively. Sleepiness scores and new-onset headache frequency were higher in women and those using filtering facepiece respirators. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between mask-wearing duration, depressive and anxiety symptom scores, and sleepiness score. Conclusions. The present study has shown that many healthcare workers wearing face masks suffered from sleepiness, headaches and psychological symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings indicate the importance of improving working conditions and planning psychological interventions for healthcare workers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) vaccine–related side effects are a key concern with the emergence of various types of vaccines in the market. We aimed to assess the frequency and characteristics of headache following different types of COVID‐19 vaccines. Methods: Fully vaccinated people were recruited by a convenience sample through an online survey from September 1 to December 1, 2021. Detailed analysis of headache following vaccination was investigated. Participants with a history of pre‐existing headaches were telephone interviewed by a neurologist to ascertain the type of headache. Results: A total of 1372 participants participated (mean age 32.9 ± 11.1). The highest frequency of headache was reported with the adenoviral vector type (302/563, 53.6%), followed by mRNA vaccines (129/269, 48%) and then the inactivated type (188/540, 34.8%). Recipients of the adenoviral vector type had a significantly longer latency between vaccination and the headache onset (median 8 h [5:12]) than recipients of the inactivated type (median 4 h [2:8], p < 0.001). Headache intensity was significantly higher with the adenoviral vector type (median 6 [5:8]) than with the inactivated type (median 5 [4:7], p < 0.001). Adenoviral vector vaccines would increase the likelihood of headache by 2.38 times more than inactivated vaccines (odds ratio [OR] 2.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.83–3.04, p < 0.001). Female sex and thyroid disease were significantly associated with headache related to COVID‐19 vaccines (OR 1.52, 95% CI 1.16–1.99; OR 3.97, 95% CI 1.55–10.2, respectively). Conclusion: Recipients of the COVID‐19 vaccine should be counseled that they may experience headaches, especially after the adenoviral vector type. However, the intensity of such headache is mild to moderate and can resolve within a few days. Based on the current study design and the potential recall bias, these results may not be generalizable and should be preliminary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Air pollution, the most prevalent form of pollution worldwide, is associated with a wide range of neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative conditions, stroke, autism, depression, and developmental delay. There is accumulating evidence on the association between air pollution and headache disorders, especially migraine. Many classical and non-classical air pollutants have been associated with headache, including particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, ozone, carbon monoxide, as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds. There has also been research on the impact of biomass fuels on health-related symptoms, including headache, which form an important source of air pollution in our country. The exact mechanisms underlying headache pathophysiology vis-à-vis air pollution are not precisely defined but include triggering of neuroinflammation and activation of the transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1)-associated pathways. Evidence from different regions of the world indicates a significant association between headache incidence and prevalence, and occurrence of air pollution. Despite growing data, research on adverse effects of air pollution on headache disorders remains limited, and appropriate outcome measures are not holistically defined in these studies. Due to the rapid advancement of the scourge of air pollution, there is a pressing need to expand the arena of research, specifically focused on pathological mechanisms, impact on health and quality-of-life parameters, as well as broader global ramifications.

Background: It is poorly described how often headache attributed to stroke continues for more than 3 months, i.e. fulfils the criteria for persistent headache attributed to ischemic stroke. Our aims were: 1) to determine the incidence of persistent headache attributed to past first-ever ischemic stroke (International headache society categories 6.1.1.2); 2) to describe their characteristics and acute treatment; 3) to analyse the prevalence of medication overuse headache in patients with persistent headache after stroke; 4) to evaluate factors associated with the development of persistent headache after stroke. Methods: The study population consisted of 550 patients (mean age 63.1, 54% males) with first-ever ischemic stroke, among them 529 patients were followed up at least three months after stroke. Standardized semi-structured interview forms were used to evaluate these headaches during professional face-to-face interviews at stroke onset and telephone interviews at 3 months. Results: At three months, 61 patients (30 women and 31 men, the mean age 60.0) of 529 (11.5%) follow-up patients had a headache after stroke: 34 had a new type of headache, 21 had a headache with altered characteristics and 6 patients had a headache without any changes. Therefore 55 (10.4%) patients had a persistent headache attributed to ischemic stroke. Their clinical features included: less severity of accompanying symptoms, slowly decreasing frequency and development of medication overuse headache in one-third of the patients. The following factors were associated with these headaches: lack of sleep (29.1%, p = 0.009; OR 2.3; 95% CI 1.2–4.3), infarct in cerebellum (18.2%, p = 0.003; OR 3.0; 95% CI 1.4–6.6), stroke of undetermined etiology (50.9%, p = 0.003; OR 2.3; 95% CI 1.3–4.1), less than 8 points by NIHSS score (90.9%, p = 0.007; OR 3.4; 95% CI 1.4–8.6) and low prevalence of large-artery atherosclerosis (12.7%, p = 0.006; OR 0.3; 95% CI 0.2–0.80). Conclusion: Persistent headache attributed to ischemic stroke is not rare and frequently leads to medication overuse. The problem is often neglected because of other serious consequences of stroke but actually, it has a considerable impact on quality of life. It should be a focus of interest in the follow-up of stroke patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To investigate whether persistent post-traumatic headache attributed to mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with more pronounced pericranial tenderness and lower pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) in the head and neck region, compared with healthy controls. Methods: Patients with persistent post-traumatic headache (n = 100) and age- and gender-matched healthy controls (n = 100) were included between July 2018 and June 2019. Total tenderness score (TTS) was used to assess pericranial tenderness by bilateral manual palpation in eight muscles or tendon insertions. Summation was then used to calculate a TTS from 0 to 48 based on individual right- and left-sided scores; higher TTS score indicated more pronounced pericranial tenderness. PPTs were examined in m. temporalis and m. trapezius (upper and middle part) using an electronic pressure algometer that applies increasing blunt pressure at a constant rate. Results: The TTS score was higher in patients with persistent post-traumatic headache (median, 21; IQR, 12–31), compared with healthy controls (median, 10; IQR, 6–17; P <.001). PPTs were lower in patients with persistent post-traumatic headache than in controls in both the left-sided m. temporalis (mean ± SD, 157.5 ± 59.9 vs. 201.1 ± 65.2; P <.001) and right-sided m. temporalis (mean ± SD, 159.5 ± 63.8 vs. 212.3 ± 61.9; P <.001). Furthermore, patients with persistent post-traumatic headache also had lower left- and right-sided PPTs in the upper as well as middle part of m. trapezius, compared with healthy controls; all P values were.05 or less. Conclusions: Among patients with persistent post-traumatic headache, pericranial tenderness was more pronounced and PPTs in the head and neck region were lower than in healthy controls free of headache and mild TBI. Further research is needed to better understand the involvement of pericranial myofascial nociceptors in the disease mechanisms underlying post-traumatic headache. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Headache is among the most frequent symptoms persisting or newly developing after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as part of the so-called long COVID syndrome. The knowledge on long COVID headache is still limited, however growing evidence is defining the features of this novel condition, in particular regarding clinical characteristics, some pathophysiological mechanisms and first treatment recommendations. Long COVID headache can present in the form of worsening of a preexisting primary headache, or, more specifically, in the form of a new (intermittent or daily) headache starting during the acute infection or after a delay. It often presents together with other long COVID symptoms, most frequently with hyposmia. It can manifest with a migrainous or, more frequently, with a tension-type-like phenotype. Persistent activation of the immune system and trigeminovascular activation are thought to play a role. As there are virtually no treatment studies, treatment currently is largely guided by the existing guidelines for primary headaches with the corresponding phenotype. The present report, a collaborative work of the international group of the Junior Editorial Board of The Journal of Headache and Pain aims to summarize the most recent evidence about long COVID headache and suggests approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of this disorder.

Background: At present, there are two techniques which are widely applied clinically; the midline and the paramedian. Both methods are difficult for clinicians when treating the elderly. The aim of this work is to explore the feasibility of an ultrasound-assisted modified paramedian technique for spinal anesthesia in the elderly. This would provide clinicians with a new and easy-to-operate technique. Methods: A total of 150 elderly patients who were scheduled for urology surgery under spinal anesthesia in our hospital were randomly divided into three groups (n = 50): (i) midline technique group (group M), (ii) paramedian technique group (group P), and (iii) modified paramedian technique group (group PM). All spinal anesthesia were performed by the same second-year resident. Results: Compared with groups M and P, group PM had significantly higher first-attempt success rate (P < 0.05, especially in patients aged 65-74 years), fewer attempts (P < 0.05), and higher patient satisfaction score (P < 0.05). Compared with group M, the time taken to perform spinal anesthesia and the number of needle redirections were significantly reduced in group PM (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between groups PM and P. There were also no statistically significant differences in the cases of inconsistency between ultrasound-assisted and landmark-guided location of intervertebral space, the time taken to ultrasound-assisted location, the onset time to pain block at T10, the incidence of hypotension, anesthesia effect and the incidence of headache, lower back pain, or nausea and vomiting, within 24 h after surgery. Conclusions: The modified paramedian technique in spinal anesthesia for elderly patients can significantly improve the first-attempt success rate, reduce both the number of attempts and procedure time, and minimize tissue damage during the operation. Compared with the traditional techniques, the modified paramedian technique combines the advantages of both the midline and the paramedian methods, and is easy to learn. It is worthy of further research and application. Trial registration: Prospectively registered at the China Clinical Trial Registry, registration number ChiCTR2100047635, date of registration: 21/06/2021. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION: There is a lack of guideline recommendations about the use of scalp cooling for preventing chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA). This overview was conducted to summarize effectiveness, safety, and tolerance of scalp cooling for CIA based on systematic reviews. LITERATURE SEARCH: PubMed®, Embase®, Cochrane Library, and CNKI were searched from inception to May 15, 2021. DATA EVALUATION: AMSTAR 2 was used to assess the methodologic quality. Qualitative and quantitative synthesis methods were used to identify the effectiveness, safety, and tolerance of scalp cooling. SYNTHESIS: 14 systematic reviews were identified, and the quality assessment was poor. Scalp cooling has been considered to be effective for preventing chemotherapy-induced alopecia and has been confirmed in patients with breast cancer and other solid tumors. Most adverse effects were mild and moderate, and scalp cooling did not increase the risk of scalp metastases. IMPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH: This overview could guide nurses to provide access to scalp cooling to reduce the risk of severe or total chemotherapyinduced alopecia for patients undergoing chemotherapy. The large-scale application of scalp cooling may be promoted by establishing reimbursement mechanisms and increasing available devices in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The current study aimed to investigate the association of temporomandibular disorders (TMD)‐related pain with the presence of migraine or tension‐type headaches (TTH) over a follow‐up period of 11 years. Methods: Data sets from Finnish national health surveys, the Health 2000 Survey (baseline), and the Health 2011 Survey (follow‐up) were utilized. Study participants are undergoing clinical TMD examination at baseline and answering questions related to the presence of migraine and TTH at follow‐up were included in the study (n = 530). For analyses, the study sample was divided into two data sets: One with those excluded suffering from migraine at baseline (Data set I, n = 345), and the other excluding those having TTH at baseline (Data set II, n = 464). Results: Based on logistic regression modelling, no consistent association between TMD‐related pain and the presence of migraine was observed, although jTMD associated with elevated estimates for migraine. However, participants with muscle‐related TMD pain (mTMD) at baseline had markedly higher odds for having TTH at follow‐up than participants without mTMD at baseline (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.2‐3.8). Joint‐related TMD pain (jTMD) at baseline was inversely associated with the presence of TTH at follow‐up (OR 0.4, 95% CI 0.1‐1.3). Conclusion: Contrasting patterns of the associations of TMD‐related pain with different severe headaches point towards a more thorough and systematic research approach are needed to understand the mechanisms behind these associations.

Objectives: This study aimed to disseminate information on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine safety among adolescents aged 12 to 17 years in the Republic of Korea. Methods: Two databases were used to assess COVID-19 vaccine safety in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years who completed the primary Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination series. Adverse events reported to the web-based COVID-19 vaccination management system (CVMS) and collected in the text message-based system were analyzed. Results: From March 5, 2021 to February 13, 2022, 12,216 adverse events among 12- to 17-yearolds were reported to the CVMS, of which 97.1% were non-serious adverse events and 2.9% were serious adverse events, including 85 suspected cases of anaphylaxis, 74 suspected cases of myocarditis and/or pericarditis, and 2 deaths. From December 13, 2021 to January 26, 2022, 10,389 adolescents responded to a text message survey, and local/systemic adverse events were more common after dose 2 than after dose 1. The most commonly reported events following either vaccine dose were pain at the injection site, headache, fatigue/tiredness, and myalgia. Conclusion: The overall results are consistent with previous findings; the great majority of adverse events were non-serious, and serious adverse events were rare among adolescents aged 12 to 17 years following Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination.

Purpose: This study investigated the factors associated with Adverse Event Following Immunization (AEFI) for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in selected areas in Indonesia. Methods: We used a cross-sectional approach with a correlational research design; a total of 2,730 samples were collected using accidental sampling. The instrument was an online questionnaire. The AEFI questionnaire was a modified version of the survey instrument of the Ministry of Health, Republic of Indonesia. χ² and Fisher's exact tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: The most common AEFI were pain at the injection site (81.2%), drowsiness (77.2%), hunger (77.0%), headache (70.3%), and weakness (58.4%). Bivariate testing revealed that gender, age, disease history, vaccine type, and anxiety had statistically significant relationships with the incidence of weakness, pain at the injection site, and headache (p<.050). Age and vaccine type were significantly related to the incidence of fever, swelling at the injection site, and hunger. Gender, vaccine type, and anxiety were found to have statistically significant relationships with the incidence of nausea. Vaccine type and anxiety were significantly related to vomiting. Conclusion: The study found that gender, age, history of disease, vaccine type, and level of anxiety were associated with several adverse events following COVID-19 immunization. These findings provide data to nurses and other health workers to help them offer additional interventions to prevent or reduce adverse events in at-risk groups following COVID-19 vaccination.

Background: Headache is a common symptom affecting children and adolescents. The medical literature over the last three decades reveals a variable prevalence and triggers in different countries, regions, circumstances and times. This study aims to assess the prevalence, frequency and quality of headaches in the Lebanese adolescent population under the COVID-19 confinement and study its triggers and relationship to screen time, self-reported anxiety, and sleep. Methods: A cross sectional design was used to collect two survey results by snowball distribution using social media targeting adolescents aged 15 to 17 years of age. The first survey included 13 questions with a single best answer about screen time, feeling anxious, sleep time, schedule and consistency, and headaches. The second survey included 3 questions about the quality of the headaches, anxiety and its triggers. Results: Among 433 responders to the first survey, the prevalence of headaches, especially pressure points and band-like pressure was higher than any previously reported among adolescents in the literature, reaching 93.4%. Screen time was also higher than any previous reports with 95.6% spending 9 hours or more on screen while 64% of adolescents spending at least 12 hours a day on screen. In addition, the majority (82%) don't have consistent sleep habits and 41.8% consider themselves anxious. School was considered the main source of stress by 82.8% of the responders. The frequency of headache correlated significantly with increased screen time, self-reported anxiety and inconsistent sleep habits. Conclusions: Headaches among adolescents are associated with increased screen use, sleep disorders, and self-reported anxiety. It is one of the primary somatization symptoms in this group expressing their extreme stress under the current economic, political, and health crisis. The present trends are likely to have major long term implications on adolescents' health and academic achievements and should alarm educators and health officials to intervene in this situation.

The rising episodes of deadly heat waves have intensified the need for a heat protection strategy. The Unani system of medicine offers ways to stay healthy in different climatic conditions. Hence, this article aims to discuss the applicability of health protection measures suggested by Unani scholars for hot weather conditions in the light of current researches. The manual literature survey of classical Unani texts was conducted to collect information on health safety measures for hot weather. A substantial search of scientific databases such as "Google Scholar" and "Medline" for proposed measures in combination with "heat-stroke", "heat exhaustion" and "heat rash" was also conducted to identify their possible activity in heat-related illnesses. The guidelines for summer seasons in the classical Unani literature are described under the title tadābīr-i-mavsam. Unani scholars have discussed in detail the pathophysiological effects of heat and the measures to stay healthy by regulating the body system through lifestyle, diet and herbs. Most of the measures proposed by them are backed up by evidences. However, some measures have not yet been evaluated for their therapeutic or prophylactic efficacy in heat-related illnesses. On the basis of findings, the authors advocate the adoption of evidence-based measures and propose further investigation of those measures that are not well supported by the evidence or have not yet been evaluated.

Apremilast is an orally used small-molecule inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-4. It has been approved for the treatment of adult patients with psoriatic arthritis and moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Clinical studies have reported that it is also effective in hairy skin and nail psoriasis, generalized pustular psoriasis, and palmoplantar pustulosis. In psoriasis vulgaris, a PASI75 response was achieved in 30-70% of the patients in 12-16 weeks. It is generally well-tolerated, and its most common side effects are diarrhea, headache, and nausea, all of which disappear in time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A clinical hallmark of aneurysmal SAH (aSAH) is headache. Little is known about post-aSAH headache factors which may point to underlying mechanisms. In this study, we aimed to characterize the severity and trajectory of headaches in relation to clinical features of patients with aSAH. This is a retrospective longitudinal study of adult patients admitted to an academic tertiary care center between 2012 and 2019 with aSAH who could verbalize pain scores. Factors recorded included demographics, aneurysm characteristics, analgesia, daily morning serum sodium concentration, and occurrence of vasospasm. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to identify headache pain trajectories, and clinical factors were compared between trajectories. Of 91 patients included in the analysis, mean age was 57 years and 20 (22%) were male. Headache score trajectories clustered into two groups: patients with mild-moderate and moderate-severe pain. Patients in the moderate-severe pain group were younger (P<0.05), received more opioid analgesia (P<0.001), and had lower sodium concentrations (P<0.001) than patients in the mild-moderate pain group. We identified two distinct post-aSAH headache pain trajectory cohorts and identified an association with age, analgesia, and sodium levels. Future prospective studies considering sodium homeostasis and volume status under standardized analgesic regimens are warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are cross‐sectionally associated with headache, including migraine, in pediatric populations. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether ACEs are prospectively associated with incident health‐professional diagnosed migraine and prevalence of non‐migraine frequent headache in adolescence, either directly or indirectly through symptoms of depression and anxiety. Methods: We used data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth, a Canadian cohort study that followed children aged 0/1 at baseline, and the person most knowledgeable about them (PMK) until the child reached adolescence. The PMK reported on 14 ACEs (e.g., parental death) when the child was 4/5 and 6/7 years, and symptoms of depression and anxiety in late childhood (age 8/9 years), using a validated tool. Migraine (primary outcome) was ascertained via PMK report of a health‐professional diagnosis, and non‐migraine frequent headache (>1 time per week) was adolescent self‐report, both measured at age 14/15. We estimated direct and indirect effects (IEs) on the log‐odds scale through symptoms of depression and anxiety (mediator). We adjusted for sex, parental migraine, and economic deprivation. The analytic sample sizes were: n = 2058 (migraine) and n = 1730 (frequent headache). Results: There were nunweighted = 71 respondents with migraine (3.4%, 71/2058) and nunweighted = 204 with non‐migraine frequent headache (11.8%, 204/1730). Most respondents experienced no ACEs (weighted percentage = 55.7), followed by 1 ACE (weighted percentage = 34.7) and greater than or equal to two ACEs (weighted percentage = 9.6), respectively. There were direct associations between experiencing one (odds ratio [OR] = 1.71, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01–2.87) and equal to or greater than two (OR = 2.33, 95% CI: 1.13–4.80) ACEs and migraine, but not for non‐migraine frequent headache. There were no indirect relationships through symptoms of depression and anxiety for migraine (1 ACE: OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 0.99–1.13 and ≥2 ACEs: OR = 1.11, 95% CI: 0.98–1.28) or non‐migraine frequent headache (1 ACE: OR = 0.99, 95% CI: 0.95–1.03 and ≥2 ACEs: OR = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.90–1.07). Conclusions: ACEs may confer an increased risk of migraine onset in adolescence. The association was not explained by symptoms of depression and anxiety in late childhood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Post-traumatic headache (PTH) is a common symptom following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Patients at risk to develop acute PTH (aPTH) and further persistent PTH (pPTH) need to be recognized. Methods: This is a one-year follow-up of 127 patients with mTBI, aged 18 to 68, referred to outpatient clinic in the Helsinki University Hospital. Symptoms were assessed at the emergency department (ED), with structured interview at outpatient clinic visit and with Rivermead post-concussion symptom questionnaire at one, three, and 12 months after injury. Psychiatric disorders were assessed with Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I disorders at 3-4 months and return to work (RTW) from patient records. Results: At one month, 77/127 patients (61%) had aPTH. According to multiple logistic regression analysis, risk factors for aPTH were headache at the emergency department (ED) (OR 5.43), other pain (OR 3.19), insomnia (OR 3.23), and vertigo (OR 5.98). At three months, 17 patients (22% of aPTH patients) had developed pPTH, and at one year, 4 patients (24% of pPTH patients) still presented with pPTH. Risk factors for pPTH at three months were older age (OR 1.06) and current insomnia (OR 12.3). The frequency of psychiatric disorders did not differ between the groups. pPTH patients performed worse on their RTW. Conclusions: Risk factors for aPTH were insomnia, headache at ED, other pain, and vertigo and for pPTH, insomnia and older age. RTW rate was lower among pPTH patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background Patients with tinnitus may have different severity levels of tinnitus distress. Visual analog scale (VAS) is a simple method to measure the extent of subjective distress caused by tinnitus. It includes ratings of tinnitus loudness, awareness, annoyance, and impact of tinnitus on life. Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate what led to different distress levels in patients with bilateral tinnitus by analyzing the relationships among all subscales of VAS scores for tinnitus distress and the documented variables. Research Design This study was a retrospective cohort study. Study Sample The medical records of 268 patients who visited a tinnitus clinic between March and December 2020 were reviewed. Data Collection and Analysis Epidemiologic characteristics, subjective tinnitus distress factors including tinnitus loudness, awareness, annoyance, and impact of tinnitus on life, questionnaire results including those from the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and audiometric profiles were documented. Based on a bivariate analysis between variables and subtypes of subjective tinnitus distress, stepwise logistic regression was performed to identify potential influencing factors for aggravating each subtype. Results Data from a total of 122 patients with bilateral tinnitus were collected. The cohort included 77 males and 45 females with a mean age of 51.16 ± 13.50 years. Tinnitus loudness was associated with an accompanying headache (p < 0.001), the BDI score (p = 0.001), and the duration of tinnitus (p = 0.006). A high THI (p < 0.001) and an accompanying headache (p = 0.016) were both associated with tinnitus annoyance. Hearing thresholds at 250 Hz (p = 0.011) and 500 Hz (p = 0.002) on the left side were associated with an impact of tinnitus on life. The hearing threshold at 4 kHz on the left side alone was associated with tinnitus awareness (p = 0.013). Conclusion Psychologic complaints are mainly associated with tinnitus loudness and annoyance. On the other hand, hearing loss is linked with tinnitus awareness and its impact on life. Thus, an individualized, sequential approach that considers different subtypes of tinnitus severity to assess subjective tinnitus distress is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Angiography headache (AH) is common but not negligible, and the criteria for AH have been based on only a few studies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence, risk factors and possible mechanism of AH and reappraise the diagnostic criteria for AH in the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3 (ICHD-3). Methods: Two hundred and seventy-nine patients completed this prospective, non-randomized study, including 107 patients who underwent cerebral angiography, 101 patients who underwent coronary intervention and 71 patients who underwent extremities arterial intervention. Patients were followed up with questionnaires immediately after the procedure and 24 h, 72 h, 1 week and 2 weeks after the procedure. Results: The incidence of headache was 22.4% (24/107) in cerebral angiography group, 23.8% (24/101) in coronary intervention group, and 16.9% (12/71) in extremities arterial intervention group. Headache still occurred in 12.1% (13/107), 14.9% (15/101) and 11.3% (8/71) of patients 24 h after the procedure in the three groups, respectively. Two types of headache were observed in cerebral angiography group and coronary intervention group, one during and one after the procedure, while only postoperative headache was observed in extremities arterial intervention group. Previous headache history was a risk factor for headache in the three groups (p = 0.003 in cerebral angiography group, p = 0.006 in coronary intervention group, and p = 0.016 in extremities arterial intervention group). In addition, female (p = 0.008) was a risk factor for cerebral angiography group. Headache characteristics were described in detail. Conclusions: The diagnostic criteria for 6.7.2 angiography headache in ICHD-3 may miss a number of cerebral AH with onset later than 24 h after the procedure. Therefore, it is recommended to revise it according to the literature and further studies. The incidence of headache was high during and after angiography and interventional procedure. It was suggested that the definition of headache due to coronary intervention and headache due to extremities arterial intervention should be added in ICHD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Defining the relationship between a headache and stroke is essential. The current diagnostic criteria of the ICHD-3 for acute headache attributed to ischemic stroke are based primarily on the opinion of experts rather than on published clinical evidence based on extensive case-control studies in patients with first-ever stroke. Diagnostic criteria for sentinel headache before ischemic stroke do not exist. The present study aimed to develop explicit diagnostic criteria for headache attributed to ischemic stroke and for sentinel headache. Methods: This prospective case-control study included 550 patients (mean age 63.1, 54% males) with first-ever ischemic stroke and 192 control patients (mean age 58.7, 36% males) admitted to the emergency room without any acute neurological deficits or severe disorders. Standardized semi-structured interview forms were used to evaluate past and present headaches during face-to-face interviews by a neurologist on admission to the emergency room in both groups of patients. All headaches were diagnosed according to the ICHD-3. We tabulated the onset of different headaches before a first-ever ischemic stroke and at the time of onset of stroke. We divided them into three groups: a new type of headache, the previous headache with altered characteristics and previous unaltered headaches. The same was done for headaches in control patients within one week before admission to the hospital and at the time of entry. These data were used to create and test diagnostic criteria for acute headache attributed to stroke and sentinel headache. Results: Our previous studies showed that headache at onset of ischemic stroke was present in 82 (14.9%) of 550 patients, and 81 (14.7%) patients had sentinel headache within the last week before a stroke. Only 60% of the headaches at stroke onset fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of ICHD-3. Therefore, we proposed alternative criteria with a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 97%. Besides, we developed diagnostic criteria for sentinel headache for the first time with a specificity of 98% and a sensitivity of 100%. Conclusions: We suggest alternative diagnostic criteria for acute headache attributed to ischemic stroke and new diagnostic criteria for sentinel headache with high sensitivity and specificity.

Background: Clinical observations suggest that hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance can be associated with migraine headache. In the present study we examined the effect of insulin on transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptor-dependent meningeal nociceptor functions in rats. Methods: The effects of insulin on the TRPV1 receptor stimulation-induced release of calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) from trigeminal afferents and changes in meningeal blood flow were studied. Colocalization of the insulin receptor, the TRPV1 receptor and CGRP was also analyzed in trigeminal ganglion neurons. Results: Insulin induced release of CGRP from meningeal afferents and consequent increases in dural blood flow through the activation of TRPV1 receptors of trigeminal afferents. Insulin sensitized both neural and vascular TRPV1 receptors making them more susceptible to the receptor agonist capsaicin. Immunohistochemistry revealed colocalization of the insulin receptor with the TRPV1 receptor and CGRP in a significant proportion of trigeminal ganglion neurons. Conclusions: Insulin may activate or sensitize meningeal nociceptors that may lead to enhanced headache susceptibility in persons with increased plasma insulin concentration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Poor health status is a common issue for the street children and adolescents in Bangladesh. This study investigates the health status of street children and adolescents in Bangladesh, and attempts to identify what increases the risk of their poor health. In this qualitative study, we collected data from a total of 39 participants in Khulna city of Bangladesh employing in-depth interview and focus group discussion methods. We considered the intersectionality theory as the guiding framework for this study as five overarching themes emerged from our findings. Findings show that street children and adolescents suffered from frequent injuries and illnesses such as fever, cough, headaches, respiratory infections, gastrointestinal diseases, skin diseases, and psychological trauma. Insufficient diet, unsafe water and sanitation, unhealthy living and working conditions, and drug abuse increased the susceptibility of their health vulnerabilities. Most of the children and adolescents reported of not having access to available health services because of financial hardship and lack of awareness making self-care the primary option during illnesses. We conclude that in line with the intersectionality theory, an inclusive approach coordinating the promotion of awareness and safety net programs for the street children and adolescents is necessary to improve their health and avoid morbidities.

Given the adverse impacts of discrimination on overall well-being, this study tests whether family context, specifically family hostility (FH) and positive family environment (PFE), moderate well-documented associations between discrimination and mental and physical health symptoms. Diverse emerging adults (n = 345) completed an online questionnaire about perceived discrimination due to a broad range of characteristics, positive and negative qualities of their families of origin, and depressive, anxiety, and physical health symptoms. Multiple linear regression analyses indicated that family factors moderated the effects of discrimination, such that discrimination was more strongly linked with health symptoms in the context of low, compared to high, family risk. Conversely, some models showed independent, non-interactive effects of discrimination and family factors on health. Gender differences emerged, though with no consistent pattern of effects. Together, these findings highlight that discrimination and negative family factors are salient social-environmental risks for emerging adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Allergic disorders and headache are both common in pediatric populations. Chronic allergic disorders may affect sleep leading to chronic daily headaches. Poor controlled allergies may cause neurogenic inflammation that may be a predisposing factor to migraine headaches. We hypothesized that a higher prevalence of headaches may be found in children with allergy compared with those without allergy. Patients with either multiple allergic disorders or with poorly controlled allergic symptoms may be associated with headaches, especially migraine headaches. This study aimed to examine (1) the prevalence of headache in allergic children and (2) the association between allergic diseases and headache. Patients with allergic diseases and nonallergic children as control were recruited in the pediatric outpatient clinic of Naresuan University Hospital between January 2017 and January 2018. A neurological examination was performed by a pediatric neurologist. The questionnaire consisted of the pediatric headache symptom checklist and the items for evaluation of allergy control status. The diagnosis and classification of headache were based on the International Classification of Headache Disorders-3 criteria. The results were analyzed using the Student's t -test, chi-squared tests, odds ratios, and 95% confidence interval. One hundred fifty-five subjects were enrolled in our study, of which 85 subjects (54.8%) were diagnosed with allergic diseases. The allergic group had a significantly higher prevalence of headache than the control group (37 [43.5%] vs. 19 [27.1%], p = 0.035). The allergic group also had a significantly higher prevalence of migraine and probable migraine headache than the control group (23 [27.06%] vs. 7 [10%], p = 0.007). The prevalence of headache did not increase in subjects who had more than one allergic disease. There was no association between the control of allergy and headache. The present study showed that allergic diseases were associated with increased prevalence of headache and migraine in children. However, the control of allergic symptoms and the number of allergic diseases were not associated with headache. The physicians should be aware of headache in allergic patients and give appropriate treatment. Further study would be to identify specific biomarkers for the development of better treatment in these comorbid diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Methods: Unplanned secondary analysis of HEAD Study/HEAD Colombia data. Results: 3.2% (117/3643) of ED headache patients aged 18–50 years were pregnant, of whom six (5.1%) had a serious secondary cause identified. The proportion of patients with serious headache causes was not significantly different between pregnant female, non‐pregnant female and male patient subgroups (P = 0.89). Conclusion: Inclusion of pregnancy as a 'red flag' in ED headache assessment is not supported by these data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives Headache is considered one of the most frequent neurological manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This work aimed to identify the relative frequency of COVID-19-related headache and to clarify the impact of clinical, laboratory findings of COVID-19 infection on headache occurrence and its response to analgesics. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Recovered COVID-19 patients. Subjects In total, 782 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. Methods Clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were obtained from the hospital medical records. Regarding patients who developed COVID-19 related headache, a trained neurologist performed an analysis of headache and its response to analgesics. Results The relative frequency of COVID-19 related headache among our sample was 55.1% with 95% confidence interval (CI) (.516–.586) for the estimated population prevalence. Female gender, malignancy, primary headache, fever, dehydration, lower levels of hemoglobin and platelets and higher levels of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and CRP were significantly associated with COVID-19 related headache. Multivariate analysis revealed that female gender, fever, dehydration, primary headache, high NLR, and decreased platelet count were independent predictors of headache occurrence. By evaluating headache response to analgesics, old age, diabetes, hypertension, primary headache, severe COVID-19, steroid intake, higher CRP and ferritin and lower hemoglobin levels were associated with poor response to analgesics. Multivariate analysis revealed that primary headache, steroids intake, moderate and severe COVID-19 were independent predictors of non-response to analgesics. Discussion Headache occurs in 55.1% of patients with COVID-19. Female gender, fever, dehydration, primary headache, high NLR, and decreased platelet count are considered independent predictors of COVID-19 related headache. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One year after the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), referrals for persistent headache, often defined as "post‐COVID headache," have become increasingly common in outpatient headache clinics. However, it is important to take into consideration that this term may include a spectrum of clinically different headache types. We describe three cases of migraine‐like headaches in individuals with a history of mild COVID‐19 infection to demonstrate some of the different phenotypes of persistent headaches seen. These cases highlight the importance of a careful evaluation when assessing the complexities of "post‐COVID headache" as well as the need to further investigate the different, underlying, pathophysiological mechanisms.

It is mandatory that healthcare workers wear personal protective equipment (PPE) while caring for COVID-19 patients. Studies have shown that wearing PPE for a prolonged time may lead to symptoms of physical discomfort including headache. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence and association between prolonged use of PPE and headaches. This was a cross-sectional study. A convenience sample of healthcare workers who worked with COVID-19 patients in clinical settings was recruited. The data were collected through an electronic survey shared as a link through social media. This study included 1060 participants, 753 (71%) female and 307 (29%) male. Participants were divided into two groups. Group A had 628 (60%) participants who did not have chronic headache before the COVID-19 pandemic, while Group B contained 432 (40%) participants who had a previous chronic headache. Headaches differed significantly between Groups A and B in frequency, type, location, and quality during the COVID-19 period. The analysis found a significant relationship between duration of PPE use and headache occurrence. The significant relationship between the duration of PPE usage and headache occurrence among healthcare workers should be considered when refining policies and procedures regarding prolonged PPE use.

Background: Coronavirus disease-19 is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Headache is a common symptom during and after Coronavirus disease-19. We aimed to study headache character in relation to COVID-19. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Patients who had Coronavirus disease-19, confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction technique and presented to the headache clinic within 3 months after the onset of infections were identified to the study. Study included patients diagnosed as primary headache disorders according to The International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition. Participants were grouped into categories according to having previous or de novo headache. Descriptive data, paired sample t-test and the chi-squared test (X2) were used for statistical analyses of the data. Results: A total of 121 patients were included in this study. Their mean age was 35.29 + 9.54 and most of them were females (83.5%). Prior to Coronavirus disease-19 infections, 78 (64.5%) had migraine and 11(9.1%) experienced a tension-type headache while 32 (26.4) reported de novo headache post Coronavirus disease-19. Patient had significant increase in headache days 11.09 ± 8.45 post Coronavirus disease-19 compared with 8.66 ± 7.49 headache days before Coronavirus disease-19 infection (p < 0.006). Post Coronavirus disease-19, the usage of analgesic increased significantly by the patient with migraine (2.31 ± 1.65 vs 3.05 ± 2.09, p = 0.002) while the patient with tension type headache had statistically significant increase in severity (5.556 ± 1.86 vs 7 ± 2.25, p = 0.033) and frequency (7 ± 6.29 vs 12.72 ± 7.96, p = 0.006) of headache attacks. Bi-frontal and temporal headache are the most reported (40.6% each) headache site among de novo headache group. Patients younger than 40 years had longer duration of the headache attack (18.50 ± 16.44 vs 5.5 ± 9.07, p = 0.045) post COVID-19. Male patients compared to females (8.66 ± 1.15 versus 5.93 ± 2.01 p = 0.04) had more severe headache post Coronavirus disease-19. De novo headache resolved within 1 month in most of patients (65.3%). Conclusion: Primary headache get worse after Coronavirus disease-19. De novo primary headache is frequent post Coronavirus disease-19 and resolve within 1 month. Headaches related to Coronavirus disease-19 are severe, present as migraine phenotype. Young male patients with Coronavirus disease-19 tend to have worse headache. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background and aim: Pathogenesis of COVID-19 -related headache is unknown, though the induction of the trigeminal neurons through inflammation is proposed. We aimed to investigate key systemic circulating inflammatory molecules and their clinical relations in COVID-19 patients with headache. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 88 COVID-19 patients, hospitalized on a regular ward during the second wave of the pandemic. Clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients were recorded, and laboratory tests were studied. Results: The mean ages of 48 COVID-19 patients with headache (47.71 ± 10.8) and 40 COVID-19 patients without headache (45.70 ± 12.72) were comparable. COVID-19 patients suffered from headache had significantly higher serum levels of HMGB1, NLRP3, ACE2, and IL-6 than COVID-19 patients without headache, whereas CGRP and IL-10 levels were similar in the groups. Angiotensin II level was significantly decreased in the headache group. COVID-19 patients with headache showed an increased frequency of pulmonary involvement and increased D- dimer levels. Furthermore, COVID-19 was more frequently associated with weight loss, nausea, and diarrhea in patients with headache. Serum NLRP3 levels were correlated with headache duration and hospital stay, while headache response to paracetamol was negatively correlated with HMGB1 and positively associated with IL-10 levels. Conclusion: Stronger inflammatory response is associated with headache in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with moderate disease severity. Increased levels of the circulating inflammatory and/or nociceptive molecules like HMGB1, NLRP3, and IL-6 may play a role in the potential induction of the trigeminal system and manifestation of headache secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
