23
Q

migraine attack: 4-72 hours

A
  • pain (typically throbbing), nausea, vomiting, photophobia, phonophobia, anxiety, hyperosmia, depressed mood, neck pain and stiffness, insomnia
24
Q

postdrome: hours to days

A
  • tiredness, head and neck soreness, decreased cognition, mood change
  • mechanism less understood
25
Q

Prodrome

A

thought to be due to hypothalamic activation

26
Q

aura

A

thought to be due to cortical spreading depolarization which often begins in visual cortex

27
Q

HA pain

A

vasodilation and/or dural swelling thought to be due to release of neurotransmitters such as substance P, neurokinin A, and CGRP

28
Q

calcitonin gene related peptide

A
  • A neuropeptide found in the CNS and PNS that has pain-signaling and vasodilator functions
  • In MH it is thought to contribute to dural meningeal inflammation
29
Q

Diagnostic criteria for migraine without aura

A

A. > 5 attacks fulfilling B-D
B. HA lasting 4-72 hours (treated or untreated)
C. At least two: unilateral location, pulsating, moderate or severe, aggravated by (or causes avoidance of) routing physical activity
D. During attack, at least 1: nausea and/or vomiting or photophobia and phonophobia
E. Not better accounted for by something else

30
Q

migraines are different because of …

A
  • Lasting 4 to 72 hours
  • Unilateral location
  • Pulsating quality
  • Moderate to severe intensity
  • Aggravated by physical activity
  • Associations with nausea, vomiting, phonophobia, or photophobia
31
Q

Acute medical management of migraine headache

A
  • Ergot alkaloids
  • Triptans
32
Q

Ergot alkaloids

A
  • similar MOA as triptans but not as selective
  • higher incidence of adverse effects
33
Q

triptans

A
  • selective serotonin receptor agonists
  • vasoconstriction of distended extracerebral vessels
  • inhibits vasoactive neuropeptides
  • inhibits nociceptive NTs
34
Q

What do abortive migraine headache medications do?

A
  • stop a migraine attack as its happening
  • take as soon as possible (within 30 mins of onset)
35
Q

What is the first line abortive treatment for mod to severe migraine

A

Triptans
- less effective in pts with prolonged and severe migraine

36
Q

medication overuse headache

A

1/2 of pts with chronic headache have MOH
- triptans should not be used > 10 days/month

37
Q

Other prophylactic medications for MH

A
  • CGRP Receptor Antagonists
  • Anticonvulsants
  • Botox (31 sites)
38
Q

Headache management strategies

A
  • management of HA triggers
  • Medical management often multidisciplinary
  • Management of associated symptoms
  • management of MSK impairments
  • exercise considerations
39
Q

Management of headache triggers

A
  • dehydration, fasting, alcohol, cured meats, aged cheese, citrus, chocolate, caffeine, wine, high sodium, MSG
  • poor sleepy hygiene and quality
  • stress
40

Q

exercise for for migraine headaches

    -aerobic exercise

43
Q

dietary supplements for migraine prevention

A
  • magnesium (400-800mg)
  • Riboflavin (400 mg)
  • Coenzyme Q10 (300 mg)
44
Q

cause of cervicogenic headache

A
  • convergence of cervical (C1-C3) and trigeminal afferents in the brainstem and spinal cord (C1-C4)
  • high incidence post WAD
45
Q

What are the two muscles that can have bilateral myofascial pain from only one side

A

SCM and trap

46
Q

diagnostic criteria for cervicogenic headache

A

A. Any headache fulfilling C
B. Clinical and/or imaging evidence of Cx spine disorder or soft tissues of the neck known to cause HA
C. evidence of cessation by at least 2: Ha developed in temporal relation to onset of Cx disorder, HA significantly improved or resolved in parallel with improvement in Cx disorder, reduced Cx ROM and HA worsened with provocative maneuvers, HA abolished with diagnostic block
D. Not better explained by something else

47
Q

major criteria for CGH

A
  • SxS of Cx involvement
  • precipitation of HA by neck movement and/or sustained awkward positioning and/or external pressure on ipsilateral upper Cx or occipital region
  • restriction of Cx ROM
  • ipsilateral neck, shoulder, or arm pain
48
Q

other characteristics of CGH

A
  • mod- severe, non-throbbing, non-lancinating pain typically starting in the neck
  • marginal effects of indomethacin, ergotomines, tripans
  • can have photophobia, phonophobia or nausea but not as marked as MH
49
Q

what is the gold standard care for cervicogenic headache?

A

physical therapy

50
Q

what is the gold standard care for migraine

A

pharmacologic

51
Q

medical management of CGH

A
  • PT
  • analgesics
  • peripheral nerve blocks of greater and lesser occipital nerves
  • TrP injections
52
Q

Cervical Flexion/Rotation Test

A
  • normal rotation is about 45 degrees each way
  • positive test is reproduction of symptoms or loss of range >10 degrees
