“…113 Adolescents experienced a reduction in headache frequency when taking either fish oil or placebo, but there was no significant difference between the treatments. Another study randomized patients with chronic headaches to increased omega-3 and lower omega-6 fatty acids in the diet or to lower omega-6 fatty acids in the diet.…”

While most pain is acute, resolving within a few days or weeks, millions of Americans suffer from persistent or recurring pain that may become chronic and debilitating. Medications may provide only partial relief from this chronic pain and can be associated with unwanted side effects. As a result, many individuals turn to complementary health approaches as part of their pain management strategy. This article examines the clinical trial evidence for the efficacy and safety of several specific approaches – acupuncture, manipulation, massage therapy, relaxation techniques including meditation, selected natural product supplements (chondroitin, glucosamine, methylsulfonylmethane, S-adenoysl methionine), tai chi, and yoga – as used to manage chronic pain and related disability associated with back pain, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, neck pain, and severe headaches or migraines.

“…30,[34][35][36][37] Based on emerging evidence, some clinicians also recommend dietary supplements that decrease inflammation (omega-3 fatty acids) and dietary supplements, such as riboflavin, magnesium, and coenzyme Q10. [38][39][40][41][42][43][44] However, some clinicians are not familiar with these therapies; therefore, they do not use them and do not inquire about them. So, little is known about the extent of their impact or use by their patients who experience HA.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is increasingly common among American youth; however, information on use of CAM among youth with recurrent headache (HA) is limited. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:Youth across a range of chronic conditions experience HA. These youth are more likely to use CAM. Use and expenditures for conventional medical care, and increased difficulties in activity and functioning are greater for youth with HA who use CAM. RESULTS: Of the 10.6% of youth experiencing HA, 29.6% used CAM, rising to 41% for the many HA sufferers who also experienced difficulties with emotions, concentration, behavior, school attendance, or daily activities. Biologically based products (16.2%) and mind-body therapies (13.3%) were most commonly used, especially by the 86.4% of youth with HA experiencing at least 1 other chronic condition. Compared with non-CAM users, youth with HA who used CAM also had higher expenditures for and use of most types of conventional care.CONCLUSIONS: CAM use is most common among youth with HA experiencing multiple chronic conditions and difficulties in daily functioning. Associations among CAM use, multiple chronic conditions, and higher use of conventional care highlight the need for medical providers to routinely ask about CAM use to meet the complex health needs of their patients and facilitate the optimal integration of care. Research is needed to identify models for coordinating complementary and conventional care within a medical home and to understand the health benefits or risks associated with CAM use in conjunction with conventional treatments for patients with HA.

ÖZETAmaç: Baş ağrısı, genel polikliniklere en sık başvuru nedenlerdendir. Son yıllarda metabolik sendrom, obezite ve primer baş ağrıları arasındaki ilişki dikkati çekmekte-dir. Amacımız hiperlipidemi ve baş ağrısı arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktadır. Yöntemler: Lipid düzeyleri ölçülerek uluslararası kolesterol eğitim programı erişkin tedavi paneli III (NCEP ATP III) kriterlerine göre hiperlipidemi tanısı alan 92 kişi ve sağlıklı 100 kişi çalışmaya dâhil edildi. Tüm kişilerde baş ağrısının varlığı, süresi, sıklığı, atak süresi ve ağrının şiddeti araştırıldı. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalamaları 37±13,8 yıldı. Yüz altısı (%55,2) kadın, 86'sı (%44,8) erkekti. İki grup yaş ve cinsiyet olarak benzerdi. Hiperlipidemi grubunda, 30 (%32,6) kontrol grubunda 16 (%16,0) kişide baş ağrısı tespit edildi. Hiperlipidemi grubunda baş ağrısı varlığı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde yüksekti (p=0.04). Baş ağrısı tipleri arasında anlamlı fark yoktu (p=0,9). Hiperlipidemili hastalarda atak şiddeti ve atak süresi kontrole göre daha yüksek bulundu (p=0,003, p=0,04). Sonuç: Çalışmamız hiperlipidemili hastalarda baş ağrısının sık olabileceğini göster-mektedir. Bu nedenle klinisyenler hiperlipidemili hastalarda baş ağrısının farkında olmalıdır.Anahtar kelimeler: Baş ağrısı, hiperlipidemi, migren ABSTRACT Objective: Headache is the most common complaint of the patients, who applied to general outpatient clinics. In recent years, association between metabolic syndrome, obesity, and primary headaches has attracted much attention. Our aim was to investigate the association between headache and hyperlipidemia. Methods: Ninety-two participants with hyperlipidemia and 100 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. The diagnosis of hyperlipidemia was made according to National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. We investigated the presence, duration, frequency, severity of headache, the duration of headache attack. Results: Mean age of the participants was 37±13.8 years. Of all participiants, 106 (55.2%) were females, 86 (44.8%) were males. Two groups were similar in terms of gender and age. In the hyperlipidemia group, 30 (32.6%) patients had headache, and in the control group 16 (16.0%) cases had headache. This difference was statistically significant (p=0.04). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups according to the type of headache (p=0.9). The patients with hyperlipidemia had significantly higher VAS and prolonged headache attacks compared to the controls (p=0.003, p=0.04). Conclusions: Our study suggests that headache may be frequent in hyperlipidemia patients. Therefore, clinicans should be aware of headache in hyperlipidemia patients. Araşt. Hast.
