To determine whether menstrual tension-type headache is a real disorder.
An appendix was included in the second edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders by the International Headache Society. Diagnostic criteria are proposed in this appendix for 2 types of menstrual migraine: pure menstrual migraine without aura and menstrually related migraine without aura. References to menstrual tension-type headache do not appear in this classification.
In a neurological outpatient clinic 165 patients were identified in whom headache was related to menstruation and the criteria of the International Classification of Headache Disorders for menstrual migraine adapted to menstrual tension-type headache were applied.
Twenty-one patients met the criteria of menstrual tension-type headache, 6 for pure menstrual tension-type headache, and 15 for menstrually related tension-type headache.
Menstrual tension-type headache is a real condition that should be recognized in the International Classification of Headache Disorders.
确定月经性紧张型头痛是否为一种真实存在的疾病。
国际头痛协会发布的《国际头痛疾病分类》第二版纳入了一个附录。该附录针对两种月经性偏头痛提出了诊断标准:无先兆的单纯月经性偏头痛和无先兆的月经相关性偏头痛。该分类中未提及月经性紧张型头痛。
在一家神经科门诊,识别出165例头痛与月经相关的患者,并应用《国际头痛疾病分类》中适用于月经性紧张型头痛的月经性偏头痛标准。
21例患者符合月经性紧张型头痛标准,其中6例为无先兆的单纯月经性紧张型头痛,15例为月经相关性紧张型头痛。
月经性紧张型头痛是一种真实存在的疾病,应在《国际头痛疾病分类》中得到认可。
