ABSTRACT

Introdução: O manejo da cefaleia nas salas de urgência e emergência deve ser baseada em uma anamnese detalhada para que o diagnóstico e tratamento sejam adequados, entretanto não é o que se encontra nos atendimentos. Objetivo: Avaliar o manejo do atendimento das cefaleias em uma sala de Urgência e Emergência. Métodos: Estudo de corte transversal retrospectivo, realizado através da análise de dados de 1317 prontuários eletrônicos de pacientes com queixa de cefaleia que procuraram o serviço de emergência do Hospital Regional de Barbacena durante o período de 01 de janeiro de 2017 a 30 de junho de 2019. Os diagnósticos relatados nos prontuários foram classificados de acordo com os critérios da Classificação Internacional das Cefaleias (ICHD-3). Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatísticas, pelo teste de qui-quadrado. Considerou-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas aquelas cujo valor p≤0,05. Resultados: Do total de prontuários, três foram excluídos, sendo analisados 1314. Entre os prontuários analisados, 73,21% apresentaram diagnósticos iniciais eram cefaleia, 16,67% migrânea e 10,12% cefaleia do tipo tensão. Já no diagnóstico final, cefaleia correspondeu a 59,67%, migrânea a 17,95% e cefaleia do tipo tensão a 8,52%. Em relação ao tratamento, foi receitado opioides para 43,99% dos pacientes e para o restante foram prescritos medicamentos não opioides. Conclusão: O trabalho sugeriu falha no manejo da cefaleia nas salas de urgência e emergência, provavelmente pela limitação do conhecimento dos profissionais de saúde acerca da dor de cabeça. O que acarretou no grande número de diagnósticos inespecíficos e inadequada abordagem terapêutica.


Introduction: Detailed clinical evaluation should be the basis for the proper management of headaches in emergency rooms, in order to allow adequate diagnosis and treatment. However, this is not usually observed on clinical rounds. Objective: To evaluate the management of headache consultations in an emergency rooms. Methods: This is a cross-section study was performed analyzing data from 1,317 electronic medical records of patients with headache complaints who sought treatment at the Barbacena City Regional Hospital's between January 1, 2017, and June 20, 2019. Medical records were classified according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3). The data collected were statistically analyzed using chi-square tests. The study considered a p-value≤0.05 to define statistically significant differences. Results: Three medical records were excluded and 1,314 were analyzed. Among the medical records analyzed, 73.21% of initial diagnoses were classified as headache, 16.67% as migraine, and 10.12% as tension-type headache. Headache corresponded to 59.76% of final diagnoses, migraine to 17.95%, and tension-type headache to 8.52%. Regarding the treatment, 43.99% of patients were prescribed opioids for the remaining were prescribed nonopioid medications. Conclusion: The study suggests that the management of headaches is inadequate in emergency rooms, probably due to limited knowledge of health professionals about headache. This resulted in a large number of nonspecific diagnoses and inadequate therapeutic approaches.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To classify headaches as a function of the menstrual cycle and to contrast aspects relating to the reproductive cycle as a function of headache type. Method: Participants responded to a structured questionnaire consisting of 44 questions. Detailed headache information, enabling the classification of headaches, and questions relating to the menstrual cycle were obtained. Results: The sample consisted of 422 students. Menstrual headaches were experiencedby 31.8%. Migraine without aura (MO) occurred in 13.3%, migraine with aura (MA) in 7.8%, and probable migraine in 6.4%. Women with MA were significantly more likely to have reached menarche at earlier ages than women without headaches (p=0.03). Use of a hormonal contraceptive was related to the function of having MA headaches or not. Conclusion: Most female college students are affected by menstrualheadaches. Although the vast majority experience MO, other headaches also occur. Women with MA are equally likely to receive hormonal contraceptives as others. .


Objetivo: Classificar cefaleias em relação ao ciclo menstrual e contrastar aspectos relacionados ao ciclo reprodutivo de acordo com o tipo de cefaleia. Método: Participantes responderam um questionário estruturado de 44 perguntas. Foi obtida informação detalhada das cefaleias, permitindo sua classificação e perguntas relativas ao ciclo menstrual. Resultados: A amostra foi constituída de 422 estudantes. Cefaleias menstruais foram constatadas em 31,8%. Migrânea sem aura (MO) ocorreu em 13,3% delas, migrânea com aura (MA) em 7,8%, provável migrânea em 6,4%. Mulheres com MA apresentaram probabilidade significativamente maior de ter sua menarca em idades mais precoces do que mulheres sem cefaleia (p=0,03). O uso de contraceptivos apresentou frequência semelhante independentemente da mulher ter ou não migrânea com aura. Conclusão: A maioria das mulheres estudantes universitárias apresenta cefaleia menstrual. Apesar da MO representar a maioria, outras cefaleias também ocorrem. Mulheres com MA podem receber contraceptivos hormonais com probabilidade de desenvolver cefaleia igual às mulheres com outros tipos de cefaleia. .

ABSTRACT

Objectives: The aims of this study were to evaluate the length, morphology, and calcification patterns of the elongated stylohyoid process (ESP) on panoramic radiographs and to investigate the symptoms related to it. We then addressed the question: Is ESP a pathologic condition or a physiologic phenomenon? Materials and Methods: In this study, 207 stylohyoid complexes were evaluated based on length, radiographic appearance, and calcification pattern on panoramic radiographs. Similar to previous studies, we considered 30 mm as a threshold for elongation of the process. Complexes were classified into two groups based on length: ESP (greater than or equal to 30 mm) and normal (less than 30 mm). Clinical symptoms were evaluated by using a questionnaire and clinical examination. Data were analyzed by the Kolmogorov-Smilonov test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Spearman correlation. Results: The average length of the stylohyoid complex was 31.7 mm. The median was 30.0 mm and corresponded to the threshold for the ESP. The Spearman correlation between the length of the complex and age was 0.323 (P=0.0001). "Continuous" and "calcified outline" were the most frequent morphology and calcification pattern, respectively, for both groups. Clinical symptoms related to ESP were not detected. Conclusion: Classification of the stylohyoid complexes based on apparent length on panoramic radiographs in elongated and normal types appears to be incorrect. Considering that the radiographic appearance of the ESP and normal groups was similar and pathologic symptoms were not detected and that there was a relationship between age and length of the complex, elongation of this complex can be considered as a physiologic phenomenon.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Conocer prevalencia global de cefalea y subtipos en Enfermedades Autoinmunes Sistémicas (EAS) y compararla con la población general. Establecer en pacientes con Lupus Eritematoso Sistémico (LES) la relación entre cefalea y anticuerpos antifosfolípidos (aPL), actividad, otras manifestaciones neurológicas. Comparar la eficacia entre la segunda clasificación de la International Headache Society (ICHD-II), 2004, y la del American College of Rheumatology (ACR), 1999, para clasificar cefaleas en LES. Métodos: Noventa pacientes fueron evaluados con un cuestionario basado en criterios de la ICHD-II. En pacientes con LES también se aplicó la clasificación de cefaleas del ACR. Prevalencia anual de cefalea y migraña se comparó con la de Uruguay. Resultados: La prevalencia anual de cefalea en EAS fue similar a la población general (50,6 por ciento vs 58,4 por ciento). Fueron primarias 47 (52 por ciento): Tipo tensional 31 (34,4 por ciento), migraña 16 (17,8 por ciento), sin aura 13. Se halló asociación significativa entre EAS y migraña, teniendo 2,87 más posibilidades de presentarla estos individuos que la población general (17,8 por ciento vs 6,2 por ciento, P = 0,0001). De 19 lúpicos con cefalea, relación con actividad: 1, aPL positivos: 13, otras manifestaciones neurológicas: 5. Aplicando la ICHD-II se diagnosticó el 100 por ciento de cefaleas en LES; con la clasificación del ACR se diagnosticó el 86 por ciento. Conclusión: La prevalencia de cefalea fue similar ala población general. Predominaron las primarias, tipo tensional y migraña. La migraña fue más prevalente en las EAS. En LES no se demostró asociación entre cefalea y actividad, aPL, otros síndromes neuropsiquiátricos. La ICHD-II debería utilizarse en LES, y la clasificación del ACR debería revisarse.


Objectives: Learn the global prevalence of headache and its subtypes in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases (SADs); compare it with the general population. In Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), to establish the relationship between headache and: antiphospholipid antibodies (APA), activity, other neurological manifestations. To compare the efficacy between the second classification of the International Headache Society (ICHD-II), 2004 and the classification of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1999 to classify headaches in SLE. Methods: Ninety patients were evaluated with a questionnaire based on criteria of the ICHD-II. In patients with SLE the criteria of the ACR were also used. The annual prevalence of headache and migraine was compared with Uruguay’s. Results. The annual prevalence of headache in SADs was similar to the general population (50.6 percent vs. 58.4 percent). There were 47 primary headaches (52 percent): 31 tension type (34,4 percent), 16 migraines (17,8 percent), 13 without aura. A significant association was found between SADs and migraine; these patients had a 2.86 times greater chance of presenting migraines than the general population (17.8 percent vs. 6.2 percent, P = 0,0001). In the case of the 19 patients with SLE and headache, there was a relationship with activity in 1 case, 13 were APA positive, 5 had other neurologic manifestations. Applying the ICHD-II criteria 100 percent of headaches were diagnosed in SLE, applying those of the ACR, 86 percent. Conclusion: The primary headaches predominated, with the same prevalence and subtypes (tension type and migraine) than in the general population. Individuals with SADs have a higher possibility of suffering from migraine. In SLE, no relationship was demonstrated between headache and activity, APA or other neuropsychiatric syndromes. The ICHD-II should be the one to be used in SLE patients, the ACR classification should be revised.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Headache is a common complaint in Pediatrics. Objective: To describe clinical characteristics of children referred for specialty evaluation of headaches, as well as diagnosis and management. Methodology: A descriptive, retrospective study of the charts of patients seen at a clinic between April 2006 and October 2007. Two classifications were used: International Headache Society (IHS), and Rothner's Scale. Percentages were calculated. Results: A total of 120 patients were seen. Forty-eight percent of them could be classified according to IHS criteria, 100 percent) according to Rothner's Scale. Head CTSeans were perfomied on 62 percent of patients, EEG on 18 percent, and specialty consultation performed on 74 of children. No further headache was seen on 62 percent of patients after evaluation. Conclusions: Pediatricians should use a semi structured clinical history to obtain an adequate diagnostic approximation, order tests appropriately and utilize consultations and evaluations properly.


Introducción: La cefalea es un frecuente motivo de consulta en pediatría. Objetivo: Describir las características clínico evolutivas de los niños que fueron derivados por cefalea desde el primer nivel de atención, así como los diagnósticos y conductas adoptados. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo de los pacientes atendidos por cefalea en la policlínica de referencia entre abril de 2006 a octubre de 2007. Se utilizaron dos clasificaciones, la de la Sociedad Internacional de Cefalea (IHS) y la de Rothner. Se calcularon porcentajes. Resultados: Consultaron 120 pacientes. Según los criterios de la IHS se pudo clasificar al 48 por ciento mientras que la aplicación de los criterios de Rothner clasificó al 100 por ciento. Se realizó tomografia de cráneo a 62 por ciento de los pacientes, electroencefalograma a 18 por ciento y consulta con especialista al 74 por ciento de los niños. El 62 por ciento no presentó más cefalea en la evolución. Conclusiones: El pediatra debe contar con una historia clínica semiestructurada para lograr una aproximación diagnóstica adecuada, tener presente las indicaciones formales de los exámenes y así racionalizar la solicitud de interconsultas y de exámenes paraclínicos.

ABSTRACT

Ao longo da história da medicina, dores de cabeça induzidas por particularidades singulares têm sido descritas. Este é o caso da "cefaléia do rabo de cavalo" ou da "cefaléia do banho quente". O objetivo desta breve revisão é voltar os olhos para algumas cefaléias inusitadas descritas desde os tempos mitológicos até o mundo imaginário contemporâneo. Algumas das cefaléias aqui revistas estão presentes na classificação atual sob outras denominações, uma vez que, até ingenuamente, muitas destas denominações levaram em consideração para sua descrição apenas o fator desencadeante. Cabe ao médico assistente sempre atentar para os mecanismos de desencadeamento e alívio da dor, para que possamos tentar entender um pouco mais da intimidade destas curiosas cefaléias.


Headaches secondary to multitude of queer trigger factors have been depiced throughout history. This is the case of "pony-tail headache" and "hot-bath headache". The objective of the present brief review is to throw light on some of these somehow bizarre disorders, described from mythological times to today?s imaginary world. Quite few of them are listed in the 2004 International Headache Society classification criteria under other items, since original descriptions were naively based only on the trigger phenomena. The physician must always pay attention to any triggering and relieving mechanism as an attempt to further understand the intimacy of these curious headaches.

ABSTRACT

As cefaléias figuram entre as queixas mais comuns em unidades de atendimento primário. Ocupam o primeiro lugar entre os transtornos "benignos" incapacitantes, segundo dados da Organização Mundial de Saúde, com forte impacto socioeconômico. No artigo é descrito o manejo das diversas causas da cefaléia, com suas diferentes apresentações clínicas. A cefaléia tensional é a cusa primária mais comum, seguida pela cefaléia enxaquecosa.

ABSTRACT

La cefalea es un problema de salud pública y plantea grandes desafíos en diagnóstico y tratamiento. La epidemiología de cefalea en niños y adolescentes, presenta una prevalencia de 30 por ciento entre los 3 y 15 años y de migraña de un 3-4 por ciento. La clasificación de la Sociedad Internacional de Cefaleas incorpora criterios para el diagnóstico de migraña infantil. Las principales diferencias con el adulto son: la duración, lateralidad y síntomas asociados como foto y/o fonofobia. La clasificación temporal de cefalea, diferencia la cefalea aguda, aguda recurrente, crónica no progresiva y crónica progresiva. La cefalea mixta, combina más de un tipo de cefalea. En la fisiopatología, se describen las vías involucradas en la activación del dolor como también los sistemas moduladores. Se analizan las teorías (muscular, vascular y neurogénica) que intentan explicar el fenómeno. El diagnóstico se basa en la historia clínica, examen físico y pruebas complementarias. En tratamiento se consideran medidas no farmacológicas, (educación, prevención, control ambiental de gatillantes) y farmacológicas. El uso de profilaxis continua es según frecuencia de eventos. Si bien faltan estudios en niños, la creación de unidades de cefalea que aborden en forma multidisciplinaria esta morbilidad, tendrán éxito si se usan protocolos ordenados, interactuando con las consultas de especialidad en aquellos casos de mayor complejidad, que no responden a intervenciones básicas, definidas éstas de acuerdo a la realidad local de cada unidad de cefalea.


Headache is a public health problem which presents challenges in diagnosis and therapy. In epidemiologic reports, headache prevalence in children to years old is 30 percent. Prevalence for migraine is to The International Headache Society Classification has now included pediatric criteria for migraine diagnosis. Main differences with adults are: duration, laterality and associated symptoms like photo and/or phonophobia. Classification according to the temporal profile includes categories such as: acute headache, acute recurrent headache, chronic progressive and chronic non progressive headache. The mixed-pattern refers to presentation with more than one type of headache. Physiopathology of pain and modulating system is described and analysis is made of different theories (muscular, vascular and neurogenic) to understand the principal causes of headaches. The clue of headache diagnosis is the clinic history, physical examination and laboratory tests. Treatment involves non pharmacological approaches (education, prevention, trigger avoidance), and medication. There are not enough studies in children, so the establishment of headache clinics will allow a multidisciplinary approach, the application of defined protocols and interaction with other specialties in more complex cases.

ABSTRACT

MOTIVO: O impacto causado pela cefaléia pode impedir a aderência a um programa regular de atividade física. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a prevalência e as características da cefaléia em uma população de praticantes de exercícios físicos. MÉTODO: Cem alunos de uma academia foram avaliados. Todos eram alunos regulares por pelo menos 12 meses e praticavam exercícios aeróbicos pelo menos 3 vezes por semana. Um questionário sobre a prevalência e características da cefaléia foi aplicado a todos aqueles que apresentaram nos últimos 12 meses. O questionário de avaliação de impacto MIDAS também foi aplicado. RESULTADOS: 57 homens e 43 mulheres foram incluídos. Oitenta apresentaram cefaléia no período avaliado. Em 63 por cento a dor era pulsátil. Em 73 por cento da amostra a freqüência de crises situava-se em menos de 1 vez a cada 10 dias. O escore do questionário MIDAS foi inferior a 5 em 83 por cento desses pacientes. CONCLUSÃO: Embora não avaliados por médico e baseado em recall, os dados sugerem alta prevalência de cefaléia com critérios de migrânea. É incerto se a prática regular de exercícios físicos reduz a freqüência de crises ou se os sofredores de cefaléia com baixa freqüência de crises são os que fazem atividade física regular.


BACKGROUND: The burden of headache may impede sufferers from adhering to a routine of physical activity. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of headache in a health club population. METHOD: One hundred attendees of a health club were interviewed. They all were regular attendees for the previous 12 months and practiced aerobic exercises no less than 3 times a week. A questionnaire with characteristics of headache was applied to all who had a headache attack during the previous 12 months. MIDAS questionnaire was used as well. RESULTS: 57 men and 43 women were included. Eighty subjects had a headache attack, which was pulsatile in 63 percent of the sufferers. MIDAS was lower than 5 days in 83 percent of the subjects. CONCLUSION: Although retrospective and based on recall, this study suggests that most of the regular exercise practitioners presented clinical characteristics of migraine. It is uncertain whether the regular practice of physical exercise has a role in reducing the impact life or those suffering less are the ones who practice exercise.

ABSTRACT

Com o intuito de verificar a importância da IL-18 na patogênese da artrite idiopática juvenil (AIJ) foram mensurados os níveis de IL-18 no líquido sinovial (LS) e soro de 50 pacientes, sua correlação com parâmetros de atividade e gravidade de doença foi determinada. Os níveis de IL-1, IL-1Ra, IL-6 e IL-18 foram mais elevados no soro dos pacientes que nos controles. Os níveis de IL-18 do soro não diferiram dos níveis do LS, e ambos se correlacionaram positivamente com PCR, articulações ativas, escore radiológico e IL-1, IL-1Ra e IL-6. Os níveis de IL-18 e IL-6 foram maiores nos pacientes sistêmicos. Os níveis de IL-1 e IL-1Ra não diferiram entre os subtipos de doença. Os resultados sugerem fortemente a participação da IL-18 na patogênese da AIJ e que esta citocina pode ser um alvo melhor para o tratamento da artrite / In order to verify the importance of IL-18 in the pathogenesis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) we measured IL-18 levels in synovial fluid (SF) and serum of 50 patients and their correlation with parameters of disease activity and severity was determined. The levels of IL-1, IL-1Ra, IL-6 and IL-18 were higher in patient’s sera than in controls. SF levels of IL-18 didn’t differ from those of serum. The levels of IL-18 (SF and serum) positively correlated with: CRP, active joints, radiological score and with IL-1, IL1Ra and IL-6. The levels of IL-18 and IL-6 were higher in systemic patients. The levels IL-1 and IL-1Ra were not different among JIA subtypes. These results strongly suggest the participation of IL-18 in the pathogenesis of JIA and that this cytokine could be a better target for the treatment of arthritis...

ABSTRACT

La expresión cefalea crónica describe un síntoma, no es un diagnóstico específico. Entre el 4 y el 5 por ciento de la población general sufre de dolor de cabeza diariamente o casi diariamente. Esta cifra está indicando un severo impacto psicológico, social y económico sobre un número considerable de personas, lo cual debería implicar una atención prioritaria de parte de las autoridades y organizaciones dedicadas a la salud pública. En esta comunicación se hará referencia a los más frecuentes cuadros de cefalea crónica, como lo son la migraña crónica, la cefalea crónica del tipo tensión, la cefalea diaria persistente desde el comienzo, las cefaleas postraumáticas y la hemicránea continua, de acuerdo con los últimos consensos (International Headache Society). Un adecuado manejo de estos pacientes atendiendo las situaciones de comorbilidad como son la depresión y la ansiedad, un diagnóstico preciso y un tratamiento etiopatogénicamente dirigido serán las claves del alivio de aquellos que sufren uno de los cuadros más prevalentes de la actualidad.

ABSTRACT

Siendo un síntoma frecuente en niños y adolescentes, la evaluación racional de la cefalea parte con una historia completa y cuidadosa. El primer paso es caracterizar este síntoma e identificar el patrón temporal de la cefalea. El paso siguiente es el examen físico y neurológico, con énfasis en el examen del disco óptico, movimientos oculares, búsqueda de asimetría motora o sensitiva, coordinación, marcha y reflejos. Luego de esta etapa, en la mayoría de los casos podemos saber si estamos ante una cefalea primaria o secundaria. La decisión de indicar exámenes de laboratorio y/o neuroimágenes debe ser tomada sólo después de contar con una historia y examen completos que orienten hacia una cefalea secundaria. Las neuroimágenes están indicadas especialmente en niños con cefalea crónica progresiva, cambio del patrón temporal o alteración del examen neurológico. Una vez que el diagnóstico de cefalea está establecido, el manejo futuro se basará, en el caso de las cefaleas secundarias, en la resolución de la causa y en el caso de las cefaleas primarias, en una terapia de acuerdo a la frecuencia y severidad de la cefalea y del impacto que produzca en la calidad de vida del niño, lo que exige un registro cuidadoso de los episodios y factores asociados (calendario de cefaleas).
