RESUMO
The aim of the work was to analyze circulatory, rheological, electrophysiological and psychological characteristics of patients with vascular headache, mostly migraine and vasomotor cephalea. The group was formed by 69 patients, mean age 40.4 +/- 9.0 years. It was revealed that: 1. there were no significant changes in rheological properties of blood in the following six parameters: coagulation, viscosity of plasma and blood, platelzo aggregation, of circulating aggregates, 2. there were no significant changes in rCBF (FF,SF,AF and ISI) parameters in the group of patients with bilateral headache but a rising rCBF in unilateral headache, 3. there was a significant reduction of the "peak frequency" in supratrochlear arteries and a significant increase of the flow rate in the intracerebral arteries (a.cerebralis media, a.cerebralis anterior), 42.4% of the patients displayed abnormal but non-specific EEg changes, 5. there was a significant increase of the amplitude of P1 and N2 waves of visual evoked potentials and a non-significant shortening of the latency of wave N1, 6. significant changes were recorded in some psychological parameters, in particular an increase of the score of depressivity, anxiety and neuroticism.
