“…In contrast, the male-to-female ratio of a primary headache disorder, be it tension-type headache, migraine or a rarer headache, was 1:1.3 overall. This ratio is well in line with the assumption that the vast majority of primary headache sufferers in our survey had episodic tension-type headache (Jensen, 2018).…”

32Background: Near-death experiences (NDE) occur with imminent death and in situations of 33 stress and danger but are poorly understood. Evidence suggests that NDE are associated with 34 rapid eye movement (REM) sleep intrusion, a feature of narcolepsy. Previous studies further 35 found REM abnormalities and an increased frequency of dream-enacting behavior in migraine 36 patients, as well as an association between migraine with aura and narcolepsy. We therefore 37 investigated if NDE are more common in people with migraine aura. 38 Methods: We recruited 1037 laypeople from 35 countries via a crowdsourcing platform. Reports 39 were validated using the Greyson NDE Scale.40Results: Eighty-one of 1037 participants had NDE (7.8%; CI 6.3-9.7%). There were no 41 significant associations between NDE and age (p>0.6, t-test independent samples) or gender 42 (p>0.9, chi-square test). The only significant association was between NDE and migraine aura: 43Forty-eight (6.1%) of 783 subjects without migraine aura and 33 (13.0%) of 254 subjects with 44 migraine aura had NDE (p<0.001, chi-square test, odds ratio (OR) = 2.29). In multiple logistic 45 regression analysis, migraine aura remained significant after adjustment for age (p0.001, OR 46 2.31), gender (p<0.001, OR 2.33), or both (p<0.001, OR 2.33). 47 Conclusions: In our sample, migraine aura was a predictor of NDE. This indirectly supports the 48 association between NDE and REM intrusion and might have implications for the understanding 49 of NDE, because a variant of spreading depolarization (SD), terminal SD, occurs in humans at 50 3 the end of life, while a short-lasting variant of SD is considered the pathophysiological correlate 51 of migraine aura. 52 53 Introduction 54 55 Near-death experiences (NDE) include emotional, self-related, spiritual and mystical perceptions 56 and feelings, occurring in situations close to death or in other situations of imminent physical or 57 emotional danger (Greyson, 1983; Parnia et al., 2014). Common themes of NDE comprise, but 58 are not restricted to, out-of-body experiences, visual and auditory hallucinations and distortion of 59 time perception, including increased speed of thoughts (Greyson, 1983). 60 The neuronal mechanisms of NDE are poorly understood (Peinkhofer, Dreier & Kondziella, 61 2019). Nelson and colleagues previously proposed the concept that rapid eye movement (REM) 62 sleep intrusion and REM related out-of-body experiences could occur at the time of a life-63 threatening event and might explain many elements of NDE (Nelson et al., 2006; Nelson, 64 Mattingly & Schmitt, 2007). REM sleep is defined by rapid and random saccadic eye 65 movements, loss of muscle tone, vivid dreaming, and cortical activation as revealed by 66 desynchronization of the scalp electroencephalography (EEG). REM state features can intrude 67 into wakefulness, both in healthy individuals and patients with narcolepsy. This may cause visual 68 and auditory hallucinations at sleep onset (hypnagogic) or upon awakening (hypnopompic) and 69 muscle...

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.

“…Головная боль напряжения (ГБН) является са-мой распространенной формой первичной ГБ в целом, но, как это ни парадоксально, наименее изученной ее формой [1]. По оценкам ВОЗ, на про-тяжении последнего года, почти половина взрос-лых людей испытывали ГБ, по меньшей мере один раз, а регулярные ГБ ассоциируются с личным и общественным бременем боли, инвалидностью, сниженным качеством жизни и финансовыми рас-ходами [2].…”

BALYAZIN EFFECT OF THE REFLEXOTHERAPY ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC TENSION-TYPE HEADACHE Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education «Rostov State Medical University» of the Ministry of Healthcare of the Russian Federation,Nakhichevansky Street, 29, Russia, 344022. ABSTRACT Aim.To estimate the effect of reflexotherapy and standard pharmacological therapy on quality of life in patients with chronic tension-type headache (CTTH). Materials and methods. 95 patients (16 men and 79 women) with CTTH have been taken as the object of research. All patients were divided into two clinical groups. Patients of group 1 received amitriptyline 35-70 mg/day and tolperisone 450 mg/day. Patients of group 2 were assigned to 2-4 courses of injecting reflexotherapy according to the suggested methodology. The intensity of headache was assessed on the basis of scores on the Visual Analogous Scale (VAS). The quality of life was evaluated in all the patients with the aid of the SF-36 survey.Results. In both clinical groups there was decrease in quality of life in all scales except physical function (PF). All patients positively evaluated the results of the treatment. The intensity of pain reduced to 1,7±0,78 points (p<0,05) in the 1st group and 1,65±0,79 (p<0,05) in the 2nd group. As a result of the treatment, quality of life improved significantly in all scales except social function (SF). This index didn't statistically differ in both groups (p>0,05). Conclusion. CTTH significantly affect physical and mental components of patients' health. The results obtained from the study showed the potential use of injecting reflexotherapy as treatment for CTTH.
