Abstract

Most of the world's population has suffered from a tension-type headache (TTH) at some point in their lives. The pathophysiology of this disease is not well understood, but TTH shares many features with migraine, leading to the belief that TTH and migraine may be on different ends of the same disease spectrum. There are many shared triggers between migraine and TTH, menstruation being one of them. Does menses being a trigger for TTH make TTH more like migraine, or does the role of sex hormones in TTH give us insight into the unique pathophysiology of this disease? This article will review TTH, concentrating on the role of sex hormones as a trigger for TTH.

摘要

大多数人在一生中的某个时候都曾经历过紧张型头痛（TTH）。这种疾病的病理生理学尚不清楚，但 TTH 与偏头痛有许多共同特征，这导致人们认为 TTH 和偏头痛可能处于同一疾病谱的不同两端。偏头痛和 TTH 有许多共同的触发因素，其中之一是月经周期。月经周期是 TTH 的触发因素是否使 TTH 更类似于偏头痛，还是性激素在 TTH 中的作用使我们深入了解这种疾病的独特病理生理学？本文将回顾 TTH，重点讨论性激素作为 TTH 触发因素的作用。
