Acta Medica Iranica, 08/20/09
Ayatollahi SMT et al. – In this study, clinical characteristics of headache including type, site, number, intensity, concomitant symptom of headaches had been surveyed. TTH and migraine headaches were significantly associated with self reported abnormal sleep pattern and female gender. Also TTH was negatively associated with total 24hr duration of sleep and history of involvement in second job significantly. The average of prevalence of migraine and TTH were lower than their counter parts in western countries but higher than previous studies conducted in other Asian countries. Clinical characteristics were almost parallel with IHS criteria, headache– related missed work rates were higher for subjects with migraine headache, and also TTH and migraine were separate disorders and were not as a part of a continuum of headache disorders. Headache disorders deserve more attention, especially concerning strategies leading to adequate primary prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
