RESUMEN
La migraña y la cefalea tensional comparten muchos de los síntomas, factores precipitantes, aspectos epidemiológicos, y ambas presentan una buena respuesta a los triptanes, lo cual dificulta hacer una distinción entre ambos tipos de cefalea y en ocasiones no se puede establecer un diagnóstico preciso, ya que hay una superposición de los síntomas. Debido a esto, se cree que estos dos tipos de cefalea comparten mecanismos fisiopatológicos similares, tales como la inflamación neurogénica, el compromiso neuronal central y la sensibilización al dolor; lo cual se podría explicar por la convergencia entre fibras del trigémino y cervicales.
ABSTRACT
Migraine and tension-type headache share many of the symptoms, precipitating factors, epidemiologycal aspects, and both have good response to triptans; all of that makes difficult to distinguish between these two types of headaches, and sometimes an accurate diagnosis cannot be established, since there is a overlap of symptoms. Because of this, it is considered that these two types of headaches share similar phatophysiological mechanisms, such as neurogenic inflammation, central neuronal copromise and sensibilization to pain; which could be explained by the convergence between trigeminal and cervical fibers.
