“…Similarly, Ayranci et al (5) also reported no relationship between headache and marital status, employment status, and social insurance status. However, in another study of Queiroz et al (30), the prevalence of headache or migraine has been reported to be higher in individuals who are unemployed and who have low income level. We also did not find any difference between the head ache and marital status, employment status, and social insurance status (for each, p>0.05).…”

“…Ayranci et al (5) reported significantly lower mean scores on all domains of SF-36 in individuals with headache than those without. Similarly, Akhmadeeva et al (30) have reported that the scores on all domains of SF-36 were lower in those with headache. Bingefors and Isacson (7) have indicated that the physical dimensions of HRQoL were more affected by headache among men, and that psychological dimensions were more affected among women.…”

AIm: This study was conducted with aim of determining prevalence of headache and evaluating its effects on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in Beylikova town of Eskisehir city in the west of Turkey. mAterIAl and methOds: This study was conducted on adults aged 20 years and over aged between May11 and June04 2009 in Beylikova town of Eskisehir city in the west of Turkey. A total of 587 people were selected by simple randomized method. The International Headache Society criteria were used for the determination of severity of headache. The 36-item short-form (SF-36) was used for the assessment of healthrelated quality of life. results:The number of men and women was 302 (51.4%), and 285 (48.6%), respectively. The mean age was 46.70±15.26 years (range, 20-87 years). Headache prevalence was found to be 78.2% (n=459). Decreased headache prevalence was found in the ages older than 30-44 age group (p <0.05). All domains of SF-36, the mean scores were higher in individuals without headache than those with headache (for each, p<0.05). Migraine prevalence was found to be 7.2% (n=33). COnClusIOn:In accordance with the literature, this study found the presence of headache in adults at high frequency (78.2%). Particularly the presence of migraine and increased severity of headache were found to decrease the quality of life.

“…Headaches affect over 50% of the adults from the general population. In this setting, tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common headache type, followed by migraine 1,2 . In the tertiary care, however, migraine and chronic daily headaches (CDH), are far more common than TTH [3][4][5][6][7][8] .…”

In order to properly assess patients with primary headache, one needs to follow the cases up longitudinally. In Brazil, there were no studies using this methodology published after the publication of the latest issue of the International Classification of Headaches in 2004 -ICHD-2. This is especially important when we consider that it was only after such publication that we had the criteria used to classify some types of headaches which evolve with daily, or almost daily, spells, and which are very common in tertiary health care centers. Objective: To assess the frequency of headache types in a tertiary health care center, in a longitudinal fashion. Method: We assessed 95 consecutive patients. These patients were diagnosed and classified according to the ICDH-2. The subjects were followed up for 18 months, they were treated and reassessed. Houve estabilidade diagnóstica da migrânea. Por outro lado, a intervenção terapêutica permitiu a redução da frequência dos casos de cefaléia por uso excessivo de analgésicos, embora a frequência de cefaléia crônica diária mostrou-se praticamente inalterada. Palavras-chave: cefaléia, migrânea, diagnóstico.

“…The students reporting physical practice 3 times or more a week had a lower functional disability of migraine but this difference was not significant. In a representative sample of the Brazilian population, Queiroz et al found that people reporting physical practice 3 or more times a week had a lower prevalence of chronic daily headache with migranous features 24 , however, these authors did not assess functional disability. The present study shows an inverse association between the migraine functional disability and the regular practice of physical practice.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate possible association between migraine and physical practice among 480 medical students who were submitted to a questionnaire about headaches and physical practices. Migraine diagnosis was assessed by ID-Migraine and functional disability was evaluated with MIDAS. The type (aerobic or strength training), the weekly frequency and the intensity of physical practice and body mass index (BMI) were assessed. There was a reduction in functional disability of migraine in students reporting physical practice (no physical practice -MIDAS=8.81±1.40, physical practice -MIDAS=15.49±1.78; P=0.03). Frequency, intensity, and type of physical practices were not associated with functional impact of migraine. BMI did not correlate with migraine impact (normal weight -MIDAS=12.34±1.33, overweight or obese -MIDAS=17.45±3.86; P=0.33). These results were confirmed by multivariate analysis. Our data suggest that physical practice is inversely related with functional disability of migraine in university students regardless of BMI. Key words: aerobic physical practices, migraine, strength training, university students.A prática de exercícios físicos está associada a menor comprometimento funcional da migrânea entre estudantes de medicina RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a possível associação entre migrânea e a prática de exercícios físicos em uma população de 480 estudantes de medicina. O rastreio de migrânea foi realizado com o inventário ID-migrânea e o comprometimento funcional da migrânea foi estimado com o inventário MIDAS. O tipo (aeróbica ou musculação), frequência e intensidade da atividade física e o índice de massa corpórea (IMC) foram determinados. Houve menor comprometimento funcional da migrânea nos estudantes que referiram praticar exercícios (não praticantes de exercícios -MIDAS=8,81±1,40, praticantes de exercícios -MIDAS=15,49±1,78; P=0,03). A frequência, o tipo e a intensidade dos exercícios não se correlacionaram com o grau de comprometimento funcional da migrânea. Não houve associação entre o IMC e a severidade da migrânea (peso normal -MIDAS=12,34±1,33; sobrepeso ou obesidade -MIDAS=17,45±3,86; P=0,33). Estes resultados foram confirmados por análise multivariada. Portanto, os dados sugerem uma relação inversa entre prática de exercícios físicos e grau de comprometimento funcional da migrânea em estudantes universitários, independentemente do IMC.
