Introdução: A cefaleia é uma afecção que impacta negativamente a qualidade de vida da pessoa. O curso de medicina é reconhecidamente um gerador de esgotamento e, de acordo com a literatura, fatores estressantes são mais comuns em alunos de medicina que na população em geral, podendo desencadear a cefaleia. Esses fatores estressores podem ser intensificados em períodos que antecedem as provas devido a mudanças nos hábitos de sono e de estudo, havendo uma possível relação com o surgimento de cefaleias primárias. Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência de cefaleia primária nos estudantes de medicina (EM) em períodos de provas e relacionar com fatores psicossociais. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, baseado na aplicação de dois questionários a uma amostra de 219 EM do 1º ao 8º semestre de uma universidade no interior do Ceará. Um questionário relacionou a cefaleia com fatores psicossociais em períodos de provas. O segundo questionário: HSQ-DV, foi utilizado para o diagnóstico de enxaqueca e cefaleia do tipo tensional (CTT). Resultados: 98% dos EM relataram já ter sentido cefaleia. A prevalência de CTT e enxaqueca encontradas foi de 61,9% e 18,1%, respectivamente, dados maiores que a média para a população geral. Estudantes com enxaqueca têm mais crises antes de provas, se automedicam mais, ingerem mais psicoestimulantes, são mais ansiosos, mais depressivos, mais sedentários, mais estressados e dormem menos que aqueles com CTT. Conclusão: De fato, os EM são um grupo de risco para o desenvolvimento de cefaleias, merecendo, portanto, uma maior ênfase de pesquisas científicas sobre as cefaleias primárias neste grupo.

“…1,2 The prevalence of TTH, which seems to be higher in Europe (80%) than in Asia or America (20%-30%), is estimated at approximately 40% globally. 4 TTH is the most frequent type of primary headache; the International Headache Society further classifies it into infrequent episodic, frequent episodic, and chronic TTH. 4 TTH is the most frequent type of primary headache; the International Headache Society further classifies it into infrequent episodic, frequent episodic, and chronic TTH.…”

Objectives: To study the efficacy of manual therapy in the treatment of tension-type headache (TTH) by assessing the quality of randomised control trials (RCTs) published from the year 2000 to April 2013.Methods: A search was performed in the following databases: MEDLINE, EBSCO, CINAHL, SCO-PUS, PEDRO and OVID. An analysis was made of RCT including patients with TTH receiving any manual therapy, and assessing outcome measures including the intensity, and frequency or duration of the headache. Two independent referees reviewed the methodological quality of RCTs using the Jadad scale. Data from the studies were extracted by two different reviewers.Results: A total of fourteen RCTs were selected. Twelve studies showed acceptable quality (Jadad scale ≥3), and the remaining 2 had low quality (Jadad = 2). The studies showed positive results, including reduction in headache intensity and/or frequency, reduction of medication consumption, and improvement in quality of life. Conclusions:The effectiveness of manual therapy for TTH cannot be completely assessed due to the heterogeneity in study design, outcome measures, and different treatments. Nevertheless, the results suggest patients with TTH receiving manual therapies showed better progress than those receiving conventional treatment or placebo.

“…5 A community-based study conducted in Singapore found that episodic tension-type headache (ETTH) and chronic tension-type headache (CTTH) accounted for 39.9 percent and 2.4 percent of headaches, respectively. 2 Absenteeism resulting from TTH is considerable, 6 with a loss of 4.2 workday equivalents per year. 7,8 TTH also results in repeated emergency department and clinic visits.9,10 Pharmacological treatment includes oral analgesics such as aspirin, acetaminophen, and non-steroidal anti-in ammatory drugs (NSAIDS) in acute attacks.…”

ObjectiveHeadaches are one of the commonest neurological disorders with a global lifetime prevalence of 66 percent (1), and 82.7 percent in Singapore (2). Tension type headache (TTH) is the commonest primary headache with a lifetime prevalence of 30-78 percent globally (1). TTH is related to muscular factors (17) thus treatment directed toward muscular factors such as manual therapy can be considered (18). This review is aimed at evaluating the use of manual therapy for TTH. MethodsPubMed and CENTRAL databases were searched in November 2015 with keywords 'tension-type headache' and 'manual therapy' or 'massage' or 'physiotherapy' or 'spinal manipulation' or 'trigger point therapy'. The search was limited to randomised control trials which studied the use of manual therapy in the treatment of TTH.Results 8 articles were selected for review. The studies included showed improvement in headache frequency, intensity and Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) scores in favour of manual therapy but not headache duration and Headache Disability Index (global) scores. One study also found an improvement in sick leave days taken. ConclusionManual therapy reduces headache frequency and intensity of attacks and reduces sick leave days resulting from TTH. There is also a positive effect on the quality of life related to headaches (HIT-6). However, manual therapy does not reduce the duration of a TTH episode. Due to the heterogeneity of manual therapy technique used, it is difficult to recommend a particular regime over another. There is a need for further study of manual therapy as an option for TTH.
