BACKGROUND
A pilot survey of 94 neurologists attending a continuing medical education meeting was performed to assess whether neurologists like to treat headaches and other common disorders and evaluate their personal prevalence of the disorders.
METHODS
Physicians were asked to respond to the following statement using a 5-point Likert scale (from 1, strongly disagree to 5, strongly agree): "I like to treat patients with this disease or symptom."
RESULTS
The response rate was 46% with a mean age of 52.5 years. The respondents liked to treat migraine (mean = 4.32) similarly to carpal tunnel syndrome and Parkinson's disease. Cluster headaches (mean = 3.90) are less liked than migraine similar to epilepsy and multiple sclerosis and respondents are neutral to treating chronic daily headaches (mean = 3.02) similarly to insomnia and low back pain. The lifetime prevalence of migraine among respondents is 48% with those with and without migraine comparably liking to treat migraineurs.
CONCLUSIONS
Neurologists like to treat migraine more than cluster headaches and are neutral in treating chronic daily headaches.
背景
在一次继续医学教育会议上，对 94 名神经内科医生进行了一项试点调查，以评估他们是否喜欢治疗头痛和其他常见疾病，并评估他们个人患这些疾病的流行情况。
方法
医生们被要求使用 5 点李克特量表（从 1，强烈不同意到 5，强烈同意）对以下陈述做出回应：“我喜欢治疗患有这种疾病或症状的患者。”
结果
回复率为 46%，平均年龄为 52.5 岁。受访者喜欢治疗偏头痛（均值=4.32），类似于腕管综合征和帕金森病。丛集性头痛（均值=3.90）的接受程度低于偏头痛，类似于癫痫和多发性硬化症，而受访者对治疗慢性每日头痛（均值=3.02）的态度则与失眠和腰痛相似。受访者偏头痛的终生患病率为 48%，有偏头痛和无偏头痛的受访者同样喜欢治疗偏头痛患者。
结论
神经内科医生更喜欢治疗偏头痛，而不是丛集性头痛，对治疗慢性每日头痛则持中立态度。
