ABSTRACT

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION: Chronic daily headache is a high impact entity in the general population. Although chronic migraine and tension-type headache are the most frequent conditions, it is necessary to consider hemicrania continua and new daily persistent headache as part of the differential diagnoses to perform a correct therapeutic approach. OBJECTIVE: To make recommendations for the treatment of chronic daily headache of primary origin METHODOLOGY: The Colombian Association of Neurology, by consensus and Grade methodology (Grading of recommendations, assessment, development and evaluation), presents the recommendations for the preventive treatment of each of the entities of the daily chronic headache of primary origin group. RESULTS: For the treatment of chronic migraine, the Colombian Association of Neurology recommends onabotulinum toxin A, erenumab, topiramate, flunarizine, amitriptyline, and naratriptan. In chronic tension-type headache the recommended therapeutic options are amitriptyline, imipramine, venlafaxine and mirtazapine. Topiramate, melatonin, and celecoxib for the treatment of hemicrania continua. Options for new daily persistent headache include gabapentin and doxycycline. The recommendations for inpatient treatment of patients with chronic daily headache and the justifications for performing neural blockades as a therapeutic complement are also presented. CONCLUSION: The therapeutic recommendations for the treatment of chronic daily headache based on consensus methodology and Grade System are presented.


RESUMEN INTRODUCCIÓN: La cefalea crónica diaria es una entidad de alto impacto en la población general. Aunque la migraña crónica y la cefalea tipo tensión son las condiciones más frecuentes, es necesario considerar la hemicránea continua y la cefalea diaria persistente de novo como parte de los diagnósticos diferenciales para realizar un enfoque terapéutico correcto. OBJETIVO: Hacer recomendaciones para el tratamiento de la cefalea crónica diaria de origen primario METODOLOGÍA: La Asociación Colombiana de Neurología, mediante consenso y metodología GRADE (Grading of Reccomendations, Assesment, Development and Evaluation), presenta las recomendaciones para el tratamiento preventivo de cada una de las entidades del grupo de la cefalea crónica diaria de origen primario. RESULTADOS: Para el tratamiento de la migraña crónica, la Asociación Colombiana de Neurología recomienda onabotulinum toxina A, erenumab, galcanezumab, fremanezumab, topiramato, flunarizina, amitriptilina y naratriptan.

ABSTRACT

Caffeine is the most widely used psychostimulant worldwide. Excessive caffeine consumption induces a series of both acute and chronic biological and physiological changes that may give rise to cognitive decline, depression, fatigue, insomnia, cardiovascular changes, and headache. Chronic consumption of caffeine promotes a pro-nociceptive state of cortical hyperexcitability that can intensify a primary headache or trigger a headache due to excessive analgesic use. This review offers an in-depth analysis of the physiological mechanisms of caffeine and its relationship with headache.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Migraine is a common and prevalent disease that contributes to health expenditure and interferes with quality of life. Our goal was to analyse the level of stress at work in a sample of migraine and its possible association with the chronicity of the process MATERIAL AND METHODS: We applied the Maslach Burnout Inventory, consisting of 22 items grouped into blocks that assess emotional exhaustion (EE), personal accomplishment (PA), depersonalisation at work (DP)] and positive influence (PI), to 94 consecutive subjects recruited in the outpatient clinic. Differences were compared between clinical groups (chronic migraine [CM]: > 15 days/month with headache over a 3-month period vs episodic migraine [EM]: < 15 days/month with headache) using the general linear model adjusted for age and MIDAS score RESULTS: The mean age was higher in the CM group. Mean MIDAS scores were 51 ± 4.1 in CM, and 17.7 ± 15 in EM (P=.001). Adjusted means for EE were 24.6 ± 2.6 in CM patients, 16.2 ± 2.6 in EM patients, and 13.4 ± 2.3 (P=.03) in the healthy group. MIDAS scale scores were inversely correlated to PA (P<.05) DISCUSSION: Our results suggest that the level of EE at work is higher in EM than in CM patients, while PA levels decrease as impact on the MIDAS scale increases. The Maslach scale is a potentially useful tool for studying migraine impact. Surprisingly, EE is higher in patients with fewer episodes; this tendency could be related to stress adaptation mechanisms present in patients with chronic illness.

ABSTRACT

Los múltiples usos terapéuticos de la toxina botulínica tipo A son una herramienta importante para el abordaje de algunos trastornos del movimiento. Damos a conocer la experiencia, resultados y conclusiones obtenidas en el servicio de neurología del Hospital de San José de Bogotá DC, al completar más de 2.000 aplicaciones en distonías, espasticidad y cefalea. En espasmo hemifacial la mejoría varió entre 60 y 80%, en blefaroespasmo 70 y 90%, en distonía cervical con patrones básicos 70-80% y en complejas (dos o más patrones de movimiento) de 50 a 60%. En espasticidad la mejoría se evidenció por aumento en los rangos de movimientos medidos con goniómetro antes y después de la aplicación, siendo variable de acuerdo con el tiempo de evolución, severidad y patrón de la espasticidad, haciendo seguimiento con la escala de sistema de clasificación de la función motora global (GMFCS). En cefalea crónica diaria hubo remisión total del dolor en 60%, disminución marcada en 30% y sin mejoría el 10%. Conclusión: La administración de toxina botulínica es segura y debe ser un proceso dinámico ajustado a cada paciente, el efecto terapéutico se evidencia a partir del segundo día de la aplicación con una expresión máxima a los 14 días, la duración del efecto oscila entre 2 y 6 meses con una media de 2.8. Los efectos adversos desaparecen en los siguientes treinta días de la aplicación...


Botulinum toxin type A is used extensively for the management of motility disorders constituting an important therapeutic tool. This report shows the experience, results and conclusions obtained at the neurology service of Hospital de San José de Bogotá DC, through 2.000 botulinum toxin injections to treat dystonia, spasticity and migraine. Hemifacial spasm improved between 60 and 80%, blepharospasm between 70 and 90%, cervical dystonia between 70 and 80%, and complex dystonia (deterioration of two or more movement patterns) from 50 to 60%. Improvement in spasticity was evidenced by increased range of motion measured with a goniometer before and after the injection. Spasticity improvement varied according to the rate of progression, severity and spasticity pattern. Follow-up was conducted using the gross motor function classification system (GMFCS). Total remission of pain was achieved in 60 % of patients with chronic daily headaches, was significantly reduced in 30% and did not improve in 10%. Conclusions: botulinum toxin injection appears to be safe and must be a dynamic process adjusted to each patient needs. Therapeutic effects are evidenced on the second day after injection and maximum expression is seen on day 14. Duration of effect ranges from 2 to 6 months with a media of 2.8. Adverse effects fade about 30 days after injection...

ABSTRACT

La migraña es quizás el motivo más frecuente de consulta al neurólogo. Su prevalencia es más alta en el sexo femenino, entre la segunda y la cuarta décadas, que es la época de mayor productividad. El dolor en la migraña por lo general es incapacitante, por lo que tiene un gran impacto en la calidad de vida; produce ausentismo laboral y escolar, disminuye el rendimiento, e interfiere con las relaciones familiares. Es necesario hacer un mayor énfasis en la migraña en los estudios de pregrado en medicina, para capacitar a los médicos generales en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de este trastorno. Existen instrumentos para medir en el consultorio el impacto de la migraña en la vida de los pacientes, de los cuales el más importante es el cuestionario MIDAS.


Migraine is perhaps the most frequent reason for consulting the neurologist. Its prevalence is higher in women between the second and fourth decades, which is the period of greatest productivity. The pain in migraine is usually disabling, and for this reason it has a big impact on the quality of life; it produces labor and school absenteeism, and it interferes with family relationships. There is a need for greater emphasis on migraine in undergraduate studies in medicine, to train the general practitioners in diagnosing and treating this disorder. There are many instruments to measure the impact of migraine in the life of the patients, such as MIDAS questionaire.
