Abstract

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a prevailing debilitating disorder that has been documented in patients with tension-type headache (TTH). The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of fibromyalgia in TTH patients as well as the features of TTH patients with concomitant FM. One hundred patients with TTH and 100 apparently healthy subjects were conjoined in this study. The socio-demographic and headache characteristics of the patients were recorded. Patients with TTH had a considerably higher frequency of FM (34%) when compared to the controls (9%). TTH patients with FM had a substantially older mean age and a higher percentage of female participants than TTH patients without FM. Patients with comorbid fibromyalgia had greater headache frequency (P =0.02), headache intensity (P = 0.003), and higher scores on the HIT-6 (P = 0.004), GAD -7 (P =0.04), and PHQ-9 (p= 0.02), whereas there was no variation between the diseased patients and controls with regards to disease duration. In conclusion, there is a high frequency of FM in patients with TTH. Patients with coexistent FM and TTH tend to have more anxiety and depressive features, more severe headache, greater headache frequency, and when compared to people who do not have fibromyalgia, they are more likely to have a significant headache-related impairment.
紧张性头痛患者纤维肌痛的发生频率
纤维肌痛(FM)是一种普遍的衰弱性疾病,已在紧张性头痛(TTH)患者中得到证实。本研究的目的是确定TTH患者纤维肌痛的患病率以及TTH合并FM患者的特征。本研究将100例TTH患者与100例表面健康的受试者相结合。记录患者的社会人口学特征和头痛特征。TTH患者的FM频率(34%)明显高于对照组(9%)。与没有FM的TTH患者相比,有FM的TTH患者的平均年龄要大得多,女性参与者的比例也更高。合并纤维肌痛的患者头痛频率更高(P =0.02),头痛强度更高(P = 0.003),并且在hit6 (P = 0.004)、GAD -7 (P =0.04)和PHQ-9 (P =0.02)上得分更高,而在疾病持续时间方面,患病患者与对照组之间没有差异。综上所述,TTH患者FM发生率较高。FM和TTH共存的患者往往有更多的焦虑和抑郁特征,头痛更严重,头痛频率更高,与没有纤维肌痛的人相比,他们更有可能出现明显的头痛相关损害。
