Oral-Facial Pain Flashcards
1
Q
Primary HA
A
Migraine, tension-type, cluster
2
Q
Secondary HA
A
Trauma, cranial/cervical vascular disorder, non vascular intracranial disorder, substance use/withdrawal, infection, homeostasis disturbance, psychiatric disorder
3
Q
HA Red Flags
A
- 50+
- unilateral
- new onset, change, progressively worsening
- thunderclap
- new pain level
- brought on by physical exertion, coughing, sneezing, straining
- seizures, confusion, clumsiness, change in alertness, bowel/bladder sx, weakness
- eye pain / visual changes
- fever
- weight loss
- vomiting
- temporal artery tenderness
- cancer, HIV, HTN
- head/neck injury
- anticoagulant use
4
Q
When to perform CT on HA patients
A
- Before LP in all patients with suspected sub-arachnoid hemorrhage
- sudden onset of HA, worst HA of life, thunderclap HA
5
Q
VBI Pain Distribution
A
Back/side of neck from occipital protruberance to just below top of scapula
6
Q
ICA Pain Distribution
A
- Forehead above eyes
- back/side of neck from occipital protruberance to just above scapula
7
Q
Vertebral Artery Compromise
A
- Mostly between C1 & C2
- Rotation to R compromises L artery
- co-existing atherosclerosis increases risk
8
Q
Tension-Type HA
A
- Most common type
- Bilateral, mild-moderate intensity, pressing quality, not aggravated by PA
- 30 min to 7 days
- Women > Men
- TrP likely source
- Frequent: 10 episodes on 2-15 days per month for 3+ months
9
Q
Migraine HA
A
- nausea, photophobia, photophobia, exacerbated by PA
- POUND - pulsation, duration 4-72 hours, unilateral, nausea/vomiting, disabling intensity
10
Q
Cluster HA
A
- rare
- 15-180 minutes
- Frequency ranges from 1 every other day to 8/day
- severe pain associated with ipsilateral autonomic symptoms
- conjunctival injection/lacrimation, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, eyelid edema, facial sweating, miosis/ptosis, restlessness
- onset before 30 years old
- unilateral orbital, temporal pain 15-180 minutes
11
Q
Cervicogenic HA
A
- Cervical ROM restriction, ipsilateral neck/shoulder/arm pain, pressure over upper c-spine/occipital region
- confirmed by diagnostic block of C2
- unilateral
- moderate-sever, non-throbbing, starting in neck, varying duration, fluctuating continuous pain, marginal effects, female, not infrequent hx of Head trauma
- impairment in flexors synergy
- joint Dysfunction O-C3
12
Q
Intervention for Cervicogenic HA
A
- joint dysfunction: manipulative therapy
- MS impairment: therapeutic exercise
- Neural system: tx of articular system 1st, gentle neural mobilization
- Ergonometrics: correction of work practices
- pressure BFB helps retrain DNF
- Patient participation in home program is essential
13
Q
DNF
A
- longus coli and capitulation, rictus capitulation anterior & longus
- segmental support
- allow stability during compression
- lose endurance with dysfunction
- become more fatiguable in chronic neck pain
14
Q
Trigeminal neuralgia
A
- Cranial Nerve V is irritated
- intense, stabbing, shock-like pain
- 1-2 minutes
- unilateral
- usually 6 month remission
15
Q
Occipital Neuralgia
A
- pain in 1+ nerves caused by compression and/or irritation of GON or LON
- paroxysmal shooting/stabbing pain in dermatology of greater/lesser occipital nerve
- vision impairments, ocular pain, tinnitus, dizziness, nausea, congestion
