Methods: A cross-sectional study of 120 conveniently sampled patients at Al Madinah Al Munawarah hospitals, Saudi Arabia during the period of June 2019 to December 2019 with Primary headache and history of head-neck trauma completed the depression subscale of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), and a structured tool for demographics and clinical characteristics. Results: Prevalence of moderate to extremely severe levels of depression was 15.8%. The majority of Ph-nT were female (64.2%), had migraine (with/without aura) (57.5%), recorded no sports-related activities (65.8%), and complained of insufficient sleep (67.5%). Primary headache patients with a history of head-neck trauma, and a family history of migraine/chronic headache, had higher depression scores (β=1.77, p=0.02).

Methods: Migraine patients with aura and migraine patients without aura (MA-) were recruited consecutively. The RLS was assessed by a c-TCD examination. Results: A total of 528 migraine patients and 71 healthy were included. The prevalence of RLS especially of mild shunts was higher in patients with migraine. Patients of MA+ developed migraine earlier and experienced more severe pain, more frequent photophobia and phonophobia, although the yearly frequency, duration and degree of pain or type and size of shunt was similar. Moreover, patients with MA+ and RLS (MA+RLS+) also experienced more photophobia and phonophobia than that without RLS (MA+RLS-). The result was similar in MA-RLS+ group. Patients with moderate or massive of RLS experience longer duration of pain in both MA+RLS+ and MA-RLS+ groups. The sex distribution was only significantly different in MA+RLS+ group, in which women were more likely to suffer from RLS especially mild shunt. Conclusion: A higher prevalence and severity of RLS was found in the migraine patients, especially those with aura. MA+ patients develop earlier and experience more severe pain. The duration was consistent with the shunt size in both MA+RLS+ and MA-RLS+ groups.","PeriodicalId":19284,"journal":{"name":"Neurosciences","volume":"27 1","pages":"143 - 149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46664020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results: Out of 840 migraineurs 201 patients were selected, with an obvious female predominance (78%). Migraine without Aura was found in 70% and Migraine with Aura in 29.9%. Mean MIDAS score during period I, II and II was 22.78, 18.58 and 17.92 respectively indicating certain degree of improvement rather than deterioration during pandemic (p=0.001). Interestingly significant reduction in both migraine frequency and severity from pre-COVID to COVID period was noticed (p=0.01). Parameters like headache days/month, use of abortive therapy and Emergency visits also declined. Chronic migraine (CM) showed more improvement than episodic migraine (EM). Confounding factors like distance working and lack of social/professional stress mainly rendered this change. A modified strategy to handle headache during any pandemic/crisis can ensure quality management of migraine. Conclusion: Migraine patients had a resilient behavior during the COVID pandemic and showed significant improvement of all indices. Confounding factors like distance working played the most favorable role.","PeriodicalId":19284,"journal":{"name":"Neurosciences","volume":"27 1","pages":"156 - 163"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45428982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: We carried out a systematic review of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and CINAHL databases from database inception until August 2021 for pertinent articles. Particular inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to select the eligible studies. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy tool was used to assess the risk of bias and methodological quality of the eligible studies. From the included studies, the rate ratio (RR) of pooled accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and their corresponding confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated for both PWI and PET. Results: The systematic review and meta-analysis comprised 14 research studies, with a total of 542 patients. Although PET revealed a moderately higher accuracy and sensitivity when compared to PWI (RR: 0.94, 95% CI 0.86-1.02 and RR: 0.95 95% CI 0.85-1.06, respectively), the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Similarly, while PWI demonstrated a moderately higher specificity when compared to PET (RR:1.10, 95% CI 0.98-1.23) but. However, no statistically significant difference between the 2 modalities was detected (p>0.05). Interestingly, we revealed that 18F-FET-PET was significantly more efficient than PWI in terms of accuracy (RR: 0.82, 95% CI 0.72-0.93) and sensitivity (RR: 0.72, 95% CI 0.62-0.83) (p>0.05).
