Results of a retrospective chart review of 80 patients, in conjunction with recently completed questionnaires, document the effects of sinus and nasal surgeries on chronic headache symptoms believed to originate within the ethmoid sinuses or nose. Seventy (88%) of the patients in this study experienced a dramatic improvement of their headache symptoms after undergoing surgical treatment. The authors conclude that this type of cephalgia is more common than expected, that its cause goes largely undiagnosed by the majority of physicians, and that an effective method of treatment is available to improve the quality of life of these patients.
对80名患者进行回顾性病历审查的结果，结合最近完成的问卷调查，记录了鼻窦和鼻腔手术对据信起源于筛窦或鼻腔的慢性头痛症状的影响。本研究中的70名（88%）患者在接受手术治疗后头痛症状得到显著改善。作者得出结论，这种类型的头痛比预期更常见，大多数医生在很大程度上未能诊断出其病因，并且有一种有效的治疗方法可用于改善这些患者的生活质量。
