Extractions: Advanced Search Two new intranasal migraine medications, sumatriptan and dihydroergotamine mesylate, may offer specific advantages for patients who are seeking alternatives to various oral or parenteral migraine abortive therapies. Placebo-controlled clinical studies demonstrate that both intranasal forms are effective in relieving migraine headache pain, but published clinical trial information comparing these two intranasal medications with current abortive therapies is lacking. Both agents are generally well tolerated by patients, with the exception of mild, local adverse reactions of the nose and throat. (Am Fam Physician 2000;61:180-6.) M igraine headaches are fairly common in the general population: 17.6 percent of women and 5.7 percent of men have one or more migraine headaches per year. Because of the episodic nature of migraine attacks, treatment options that rapidly and effectively minimize pain are needed. Although nonpharmacologic interventions play a role in headache management, most migraine patients seek relief with medication. Approximately 95 percent of patients with severe migraine take some medication (prescription or over-the-counter) for their headaches.

Extractions: DESCRIPTION: Paroxysmal headache lasting 4-72 hours. Episodes vary in frequency from more than once a week to less than one per year with symptoms abating completely between attacks. Premonitory symptoms consisting of non-specific symptoms occur frequently hours to days before headache. Most frequent sub-types are: Without aura - (common migraine) defining over 80% of attacks With aura - (classic migraine) characterized by focal disruption of neurological function begins and ends prior to headache onset Variants of migraine include: Transformed migraine - chronic headache pattern evolving from episodic migraine. Migraine-like attacks are superimposed on a daily or near-daily headache pattern, e.g., tension headache. Basilar migraine - occipital headache, with aura symptoms of dysarthria, vertigo, tinnitus, ataxia, and bilateral paresis or bilateral paresthesias Hemiplegic migraine - aura consisting of hemiplegia and/or hemiparesis Ophthalmoplegic - palsy of the ipsilateral third cranial nerve during the headache phase Retinal - symptoms of retinal vascular involvement during headache Childhood periodic syndromes - (migraine equivalents) recurrent often cyclic episodes of symptoms Status migrainous - persistent migraine which does not resolve spontaneously Migrainous stroke - persistent or permanent neurologic deficits persisting beyond migraine attack usually with neuro-imaging changes Chronic migraine - migraine-like headaches greater than 15 days a month for greater than 6 months

Extractions: avec l'aide de FreeFind haut de page Introduction : Diencephalic epilepsy displays itself as an automatic and autonomic seizure accompanied or not by headaches. Among the causes for this disorder one has to exclude tumors or vascular malformation. It is not always possible to differenciate this disorder from basilar migraine that can also be accompanied by seizures automatism and EEG-abnormalities. However in basilar migraine sometimes a specific vertebro-basilar spasticity demonstrated in angiogram can serve as an indication for proper diagnosis. Often no pathological structure can be found in the so called diencephalic epilepsy. This kind of epilepsy and the basilar migraine benefit of common antiepileptic drugs. A new light was shed on the subcortical origin of epileptic activity by the finding thar 5-endorphin neurons and receptors localized in the thalamo-hypo-thalamic regions may be involved in the generation of epileptic-activiry. Based on these data we tried to treat a patient who suffered from diencephalic epilepsy with carbamezapine, and Naloxon HCL

Extractions: Sample Chapter Download Chapter 4 - Serious Headaches Requiring Medical Attention Headache is the most common complaint for which people see neurologists and the seventh most common reason they visit their primary care doctors. It is the third most common cause of missed work, and can seriously undermine the quality of life if not effectively managed. Migraines and Headaches is the essential guide for everyone who suffers from headaches, and will provide the information needed to obtain effective medical care and long-term relief. Different types of headache are thoroughly explained in easy to understand language, beginning with migraine, the most common severe headache, which occurs in approximately 12 percent of the U.S. population. The authors discuss the different types of migraine: migraine without aura (previously called common migraine), migraine with aura, and basilar migraine. Emphasis is placed on the necessity of early treatment, the importance of understanding the difference between a headache cause and a headache trigger, and how to avoid common triggers. Rebound headache, caused by the overuse of acute medication, is a topic of special significance and is discussed in detail. The book also considers tension-type headache, the most common primary headache disorder - 80 percent of us will have a tension-type headache at some time in our lives, cluster headache, unusual headaches, non-headache illnesses that frequently accompany headache, sinus headache, disorders of the neck, post-traumatic headache, and atypical facial pain and trigeminal neuralgia.

Extractions: Page 2 Migraine is an episodic unilateral headache accompanied by visual disturbances and vomiting. The episodic nature of the headache is most characteristic. initially during aura, there is a decrease in cerebral blood flow, particularly in the occipital and parietal lobes. Later, during the phase of headache there is a dilatation of the extracranial arteries related to the variations in 5-HT blood levels. Types of migraine Classical migraine. The headache is preceded by visual or sensory aura. Common migraine . This is without aura. Headache, nausea, vomiting and photophobia are the classical symptoms. Hemiplegic migraine . In this type, hemiplegia lasting for a few days follows the headache. Basilar migraine . Vertigo, diplopia, dysarthria with or without visual symptoms precede occipital headache. Cluster headache . Bouts of severe pain around one eye with associated epiphora and nasal congestion is the hallmark and this type mostly affects males. Treatment Treatment of migraine involves managing acute attacks with analgesics and prevention of further attacks. Precipitating causes have to be taken care of and family and work related stress should be managed by various methods of coping with stress and relaxation and keeping regular hours of sleep and meals habits.

Extractions: Classical migraine (with aura) It is the same topic as the common migraine except that the patient suffers not only from his headache but also from his aura. An aura is a sensation that usually appears before the pain develops. It may be visual which is the most common (like a flickering light perhaps), or a tickling or numb sensation in one hand or vertigo or mental disturbance which can go as far as ecstatic hallucinations, as it happened to Hildegard of Bingen Most interestingly the aura can prevail even without headache. In this case the patient feels only transient neurological or psychic symptoms which makes it difficult to distinguish them from epileptic or transient ischemic attacks. Whereas there are different theories about the development of a migraine attack it seems that deficient symptoms are caused by a momentarily impaired blood perfusion of certain brain areas. In rare cases even strokes can occur. The careful interview gives you good hints that you are dealing with a classical migraine but because of the aura you cannot be too sure. To differentiate from other diseases going along with auras you would like to perform some technical examinations. Technical diagnostics The EEG shows the same items as it does the common migraine, namely frequently increased photosynchronisation also for slow frequencies and quite often intermitting temporal foci. Sometimes these are similar or even identical to epileptic changes. In these patients there is a good chance for a cure with anticonvulsives. A transcranial doppler examination allows you to rule out a symptomatic angioma with major blood steal mechanism. In migraine with visual aura you might find changes in the visual evoked potentials, likewise in cases with disturbances of equilibrium (as in basilar migraine) in the acoustic evoked potentials. Both seem to be symptomatic for ischemic functional disorders in the respective cerebral resp. pontocerebellar areas. Morphologic changes such as tumors or angiodysplastic malformations can be ruled out by CT or MRI. The latter shows quite often small ischemic lesions in the white matter of the cerebral hemispheres.

Extractions: Migraine headaches are much more common in young people than most people think. Experts estimate that approximately 10 per cent of migraine sufferers are children under the age of 15. Children, even babies, can experience devastating effects, especially where a family history of migraine exists. Migraine is not just a bad headache. Migraine is a biological disorder of the central nervous system that is frequently inherited. Although migraine is not life threatening, the symptoms of a migraine attack can profoundly disrupt a sufferer's life, and can place enormous strain on families. While twice as many adult women as men suffer from migraine, boys are more likely than girls to experience attacks in childhood. The good news is that as many as one-third of all children outgrow their migraine. Enlist your child's help in searching for migraine triggers: Isolating and identifying your child's triggers things that may provoke an attack is an important first step in reducing the number of migraine attacks that are experienced.

Extractions: Adapted from lecture handout given for the seminar "Recent advances in the treatment of Dizziness", American Academy of Neurology, 1997 and "Migraine Vs Meniere's", at the American Academy of Otolaryngology meeting, 1999-2001. Timothy C. Hain, MD Please read our Return to Index Search this site Page last modified: February 1, 2004 Spanish version Dizziness and headache are individually very common human conditions and their combination is also a common symptom complex. Diagnostically, one must determine whether the dizziness and headaches are independent or related to each other, and in particular, whether they are a manifestation of migraine. Here we will review the association between vertigo and migraine. This subject has also been recently reviewed by Reploeg and Goebel (2002) as well as Radke et al (2002). Epidemiology Nearly 13% of the adult population of the United States has migraine. There is a male-female distribution difference. At all ages, about 5% of men have migraine (Stewart, 1994; Lipton et al, 2002). Women of childbearing age have a much higher prevalence, jumping up to roughly 10% at the onset of menstruation, and increasing to nearly 30% at the peak age of 35 years. At menopause, rates of migraine abruptly decline in women back to roughly 10%. The prevalence of Migraine is far higher than that of Meniere's disease , which occurs in only 0.2% of the US population (Wladislavosky-Waserman et al, 1984). In a small study of persons with Menieres disease, the prevalence of Migraine was about 50%, compared with a figure of about 25% in the non-Meniere's population (Radke et al, 2002). Other studies have shown different results however. There have also been recent studies showing that there is a higher frequency of
