“…Patients with TTH are known to present with oculomotor disturbances, including a reduction in the speed of smooth pursuit and saccadic eye movements [ 13 ]. These oculomotor disturbances are related to dysfunction in the upper cervical structures [ 62 ], which may cause headaches owing to the convergence of cervical and trigeminal afferent fibers at the trigeminal–cervical complex [ 17 ].…”

“…Moreover, the visual system is also involved in the development of PHD. In this regard, not only has a reduction in the speed of smooth pursuit and saccadic eye movements been observed, but also an affectation of binocular coordination during smooth pursuit movements in patients with TTH during continuous visual efforts maintained under inappropriate conditions [ 13 ]. Furthermore, vestibular dysfunction and non-specific balance disturbances have also been widely linked to headaches, despite the origin of their concomitance being unknown [ 14 , 15 , 16 ].…”

Misperception of Visual Verticality in Patients with Primary Headache Disorders: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis

et al. 2020

Migraine and tension-type headache (TTH) are the two most prevalent primary headache disorders (PHDs) that may involve visual and vestibular impairments, neck pain, and postural unsteadiness. The perception of visual verticality (VV) has been studied in patients diagnosed with PHD to assess balance disorders showing varying findings. Our study aimed to assess the VV perception in patients diagnosed with PHD in comparison to healthy controls. A systematic review with meta-analysis was carried out in PubMed MEDLINE, Scopus, WOS, CINAHL, and SciELO. The Cohen standardized mean difference (SMD) was used to estimate the differences between exposed and healthy controls. Seven studies with 816 participants were included. The quality of included studies, according to the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS), was moderate (mean score of 5.2). Patients diagnosed with PHD showed a moderate misperception of VV as assessed with the subjective visual vertical (SVV) test (SMD = 0.530; 95% CI = 0.225, 0.836; p < 0.001). Specifically, a misperception of the SVV was found in patients with migraine (SMD = 0.369; 95% CI = 0.1, 0.638; p = 0.007) and with TTH (SMD = 1.122; 95% CI = 0.540, 1.704; p < 0.001). This review shows a misperception of VV in patients with migraine and TTH when assessed with the SVV test, being higher in patients with TTH, although the THH sample size was low.

“…It can cause characteristic signs such as pain, hypersensitivity to touch, disturbed motor activity, and autonomic symptoms [ 61 ]. Cachinero-Torre et al found a relation between hypersensitivity of the supraorbital nerve and the presence of an active trigger point in the lateral rectus of the eye in persons with tension-type headaches [ 62 ]. According to the International Headache Society, tension-type headaches (TTH) are the most common type of initial headaches in all age groups [ 63 ].…”

Myopia is a condition of the eye where parallel rays focus in front of, instead of on, the retina, which results in excessive refractive power of the cornea or the lens or eyeball elongation. Studies carried out in recent years show that the etiology of myopia is complex with genetic and environmental factors playing a role. Refraction defects decrease the quality of vision, while progressing myopia can lead to partial loss of vision, which can be particularly dramatic in young adults. Therefore, it is so crucial to take appropriate actions aimed at preventing myopia progression. This is a review of nonpharmacological therapeutic possibilities of refraction defect prevention in young adults, with special regard to myofascial therapy, osteopathy, and massage of acupuncture points surrounding the eye.

“…Vestibular, visual, and somatosensory systems play a major role in verticality perception [ 2 , 3 ]. Furthermore, it is frequently observed how disfunction in these three systems appear in conjunction with headache, taking an important part in headache development [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. The possibility that patients with headaches could present some alterations in any of these three systems that may induce a misperception of VV has turned headache disorders into a study issue in relation to alteration of VV.…”

New Mobile Device to Measure Verticality Perception: Results in Young Subjects with Headaches

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The subjective visual vertical (SVV) test has been frequently used to measure vestibular contribution to the perception of verticality. Recently, mobile devices have been used to efficiently perform this measurement. The aim of this study was to analyze the perception of verticality in subjects with migraines and headaches. A cross-sectional study was conducted that included 28 patients with migraine, 74 with tension-type headache (TTH), and 93 healthy subjects. The SVV test was used through a new virtual reality system. The mean absolute error (MAE) of degrees deviation was also measured to qualify subjects as positive when it was greater than 2.5°. No differences in the prevalence of misperception in verticality was found among healthy subjects (31.18%), migraineurs (21.43%), or those with TTH (33.78%) (p = 0.480). The MAE was not significantly different between the three groups (migraine = 1.36°, TTH = 1.61°, and healthy = 1.68°) (F = 1.097, p = 0.336, and η2 = 0.011). The perception of verticality could not be explained by any variable usually related to headaches. No significant differences exist in the vestibular contribution to the perception of verticality between patients with headaches and healthy subjects. New tests measuring visual and somatosensory contribution should be used to analyze the link between the perception of verticality and headaches.
