“…These headaches are usually pounding or pulsating and occur more often in younger patients (age less than 45 years in 1 study) and female patients . Surgery greater than 4 hours was also found to be associated with immediate post‐craniotomy headache . A retrospective review of gamma knife surgeries in 347 patients with secretory pituitary adenomas found that 17 patients had transient headache following the surgery, and 1 patient suffered a consistent headache 4 years after radiosurgery that lasted 1 year …”

Our literature review revealed that brain tumor headache uncommonly presents with classic brain tumor headache characteristics and often satisfies criteria for a primary headache category such as migraine or tension-type. Thus, clinicians may miss headaches due to brain tumors in following ICHD-3 criteria, and the distinction between primary and secondary headache disorders may not be so clear-cut.

“…Patients undergoing neurosurgery to treat intracranial aneurysms have a 2.6‐fold greater chance of having headaches than those who are treated using an endovascular procedure . Studies that evaluate gender, age, and presence of headaches prior to surgery as risk factors for PCH have shown conflicting results . Neurosurgery procedures of duration greater than 4 hours have been correlated with greater risk of PCH …”

“…To date, postcraniotomy pain and the symptoms associated with it is poorly understood. Researchers have called for additional studies to understand influencing factors and associated symptoms of postcraniotomy pain and to determine how to best treat it to prevent negative health outcomes (Talke & Gelb 2005, Roberts 2005, Watson 2011, De Oliveira Ribeiro et al 2013, Rocha-Filho 2015.…”

Aim To conduct an integrative review to examine evidence of pain and associated symptoms in adult (≥ 21 years of age), post-craniotomy, brain tumor patients hospitalized on intensive care units. Background Healthcare providers believe craniotomies are less painful than other surgical procedures. Understanding how post-craniotomy pain unfolds over time will help inform patient care and aid in future research and policy development. Design Systematic literature search to identify relevant literature. Information abstracted using the Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms’ concepts of influencing factors, symptom clusters and patient performance. Inclusion criteria were indexed, peer-reviewed, full-length, English-language articles. Keywords were ‘traumatic brain injury,’ ‘pain, post-operative,’ ‘brain injuries,’ ‘postoperative pain,’ ‘craniotomy,’ ‘decompressive craniectomy,’ and ‘trephining.’ Data sources Medline, OVID, PubMed and CINAHL databases from 2000 – 2014. Review Method Cooper’s five-stage integrative review method was used to assess and synthesize literature. Results The search yielded 115 manuscripts, with 26 meeting inclusion criteria. Most studies were randomized, controlled trials conducted outside of the United States. All tested pharmacological pain interventions. Post-craniotomy brain tumor pain was well-documented and associated with nausea, vomiting and changes in blood pressure and impacted patient length of hospital stay, but there was no consensus for how best to treat such pain. Conclusion The Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms provided structure to the search. Post-craniotomy pain is experienced by patients, but associated symptoms and impact on patient performance remain poorly understood. Further research is needed to improve understanding and management of post-craniotomy pain in this population.
