RESUMEN
El 5% de la población general sufre cefaleas más de 15 días por mes. Dentro de este grupo denominado “cefaleas crónicas diarias”, la mayor parte son migrañas crónicas y si bien una causa común es el abuso de fármacos, se ha podido establecer que estas personas tienen un sistema nervioso más vulnerable a los factores precipitantes de la migraña y que habría una alteración estructural en el funcionamiento neuroquímico cerebral que favorecería el establecimiento de esta situación. Otro hecho importante es la comorbilidad con depresión, pánico, enfermedad bipolar, trastornos obsesivo-compulsivos, síndrome de vejiga irritable, trastornos del sueño o fibromialgia. Al estudiar a estos pacientes, se deben descartar otras posibles causas utilizando los adecuados estudios complementarios. El tratamiento debería contemplar también el manejo de la comorbilidad antes descripta que suele confluir en estos pacientes.
ABSTRACT
Five percent of the overall population suffer from headaches over 15 days a month. Within this group called "chronic daily headaches", chronic migraines form the largest part, and despite a common cause of them is medication abuse, it has been possible to establish that people suffering from them have a nervous system which is more vulnerable to the factors that may bring about this situation. Another significant fact is the comorbility with depression, panic, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorders, irritable bladder syndrome, sleep disorders or fibromyalgia. When studyng these patients, other possible causes must be dismissed, performing the proper complementary studies. Treatment should also provide for the previously described comorbility that usually converges among these patients.
