Cluster Headache and other Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalgias
This book provides essential insights into the current state of knowledge regarding the main aspects of cluster headache and trigeminal autonomic cephalgias. The first chapters focus on classification and clinical features, together with familial and genetic aspects. Relevant animal models and the putative role of key nervous structures as the hypothalamus, brainstem, diencephalon and sphenopalatine ganglion are reviewed. Evidence gained from key molecules such as CGRP in animals and human headache models are discussed. The book subsequently presents information on the various aspects of the pathophysiology of trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias for example regarding the implication of the tri...
Headache Clinics
Headache is a huge public health problem and migraine alone cost 27 billion Euros per year in Europe. It is therefore important how the health care service for headache patients is organised throughout the world. Patients seen at headache clinics are more severely affected than those seen in general practice, and headache clinics need to be familiar with a long list of relatively rare headache disorders. Part of the "Frontiers in Headache Research" series, this volume is the first book to focus specifically on headache clinics, their classification and organization, their methods of diagnosis, and their approaches to multi-disciplinary management. The clinical features of patients seen in he...
Educating the Catholic People
In Educating the Catholic People, Salomoni offers a new perspective on the pedagogical, institutional, and political innovations introduced in Italy by religious teaching congregations between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries.
Migraine, Words and Fiction
There are many migraine sufferers worldwide. However, the lack of confirmatory scan or blood test poses a major barrier to their diagnosis, which must be based on their account of the pain. As a consequence, language is of utmost importance in the diagnosis of migraine. This book deals with this relation between words and migraine, and considers how persons with migraine make their pain ‘readable’ and how fictional texts ‘perform’ migraine. Its analysis utilises the theories of Wittgenstein (‘beetle in the box’), Foucault, de Saussure and Scarry, as well as works of fiction including Hustvedt’s The Blindfold, Lasdun’s The Horned Man and Yalom’s When Nietzsche Wept.
CORRELATION BETWEEN SENSITIZATION OF TRIGEMINAL NUCLEUS AND FUNCTIONALITY OF DEEP CERVICAL FLEXOR MUSCLES
Background and aimsDespite Migraine is characterized by increase sensitization of trigeminal nucleus and impairment of deep cervical-flexor muscles, their relationship has never been studied. Our aim is to assess if these dysfunctions are present interictally and if they are correlated Methods Patients with Episodic Migraine (EM) and healthy control were included. Exclusion criteria included other headaches type, whiplash and fibromyalgia. We assess interictally wind-up and pressure pain threshold over temporalis and pressure pain threshold in the neck. Functionality of deep neck muscles was assessed with cranio-cervical flexion test. Results: We included 11 EM (10 women, 1 man), mean age 35,27 u00b1 14,56 and 11 control (10 women; 1 man), mean age 37,36 u00b1 14,56. Subjects with EM have a lower pressure pain threshold over temporalis (111,09 u00b1 41,04 180,60 u00b1 65,35; t(20)= 2,9 p
SENSITIZATION OF TRIGEMINAL NUCLEUS IN SUBJECTS WITH MIGRAINE INTERICTALLY
Background and aimsMigraine is catheterized by an increase sensitization of the central nervous system. However, is not clear if central sensitization is present interictally or only in proximity and during the headache attack. Our aim is to answer to this question. Methods Patients with Episodic Migraine (EM) and healthy control without familiarity for headache were included. Exclusion criteria included other headaches types and fibromyalgia. We assess central sensitization measuring wind-up and pressure pain threshold over temporalis and pressure pain threshold in the neck. The examination was done interictally and distance from the last and the next attack was recorded. Results We included 12 EM (11 women, 1 man), mean age 34,42 u00b1 13,01 and 12 control (11 women,1 man), mean age 36,58 u00b1 14,14. Subjects with EM have 6,08u00b1 2,99 attack for month. They have lower pressure pain threshold over temporalis (110,75 u00b1 39,14 vs 178,05 u00b1 62,93; t(22)= 3,15 p0,05), neck (309,51 u00b1 89,94 vs 469,04 u00b1 146,05; t(22)=3,23 p
Headache
Handbook of Clinical Neurology: Headache covers various aspects of headaches. It covers up-to-date information about the cultural developments and the scientific advances in the field of neurological science. One of the most frequent symptoms that people encounter is migraine or other type of headaches. At least 40% of neurological consultations are headache-related. With this, significant advances in basic and applied brain sciences have emerged in the field of headache-related problems. Divided into six sections, the book discusses the socioeconomic aspects of headaches, the contribution of biological sciences to the study of the pathophysiology of headache, and the management of headache and other related problems. It also deals with headache-related issues, such as pathogenic (chronobiological, endocrinological, and neuroimaging correlates), nosographic (i.e., migraine, vertigo, and headache in children), and treatment-related issues. The book will serve as a reference for researchers, clinical physicians, and other readers who want additional knowledge about the clinical features of headaches.
Reducing the Burden of Headache
This volume in the Frontiers in Headache Research series focuses on the social and economic consequences of headache. It analyses the financial cost of headache, the disability and suffering caused, and the impact on the quality of life of the suffers and on other family members.
Cluster Headache and Related Conditions
Cluster headache affects 0.1% of the population and is a severe form of primary headache. This volume of Frontiers in Headache Research is the only up-to-date and comprehensive review of the condition and its related disorders. The book begins with a discussion of the basic circadian biology of the condition followed by an overview of relevant epidemiological studies. Cluster headache is then described in comparison with related disorders, including paroxysmal hemicrania, SUNCT, hemicrania continua and hypnic headache, and the system of classification discussed. The volume then moves on to look at the wealth of basic research into cluster headache, including, animal studies, work on the autonomic nervous system in man, neuropeptide research, studies of biological rhythms, the associated endocrinology, information derived from neuroimaging and the influence of genetic factors. The final sections of the book examine acute treatment, prophylaxis, the potential for surgical treatment and the opportunities for further innovative therapies. The contributing authors are all international specialists in this field.
