This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of episodic primary headaches (EPH) and temporomandibular dysfunction's (TMD) effect in experienced scuba divers.
A form consisting of the Fonseca Anamnestic Index and a structured headache questionnaire was sent to individuals using social media platforms.
A total of 132 divers and 104 non-divers were included the study. In male divers, EPH and TMD were not different from the non-diver group ( = 0.1, = 0.1), and TMD had an effect on increasing the possibility of migraine (OR = 2.5, = 0.04). In female divers, the possibility of EPH and TMD were also lower (OR = 0.1, < 0.001, OR = 0.2, = 0.01).
Scuba diving does not pose a risk for EPH or TMD in either gender. TMD treatment in male divers is important for uncontrolled migraine attacks.
本研究旨在评估偶发性原发性头痛(EPH)的频率和颞下颌功能紊乱(TMD)对有经验的水肺潜水员的影响。
使用社交媒体平台向个人发送了一份包含 Fonseca 病史指数和结构化头痛问卷的表格。
共有 132 名潜水员和 104 名非潜水员参与了这项研究。在男性潜水员中,EPH 和 TMD 与非潜水员组没有差异( = 0.1, = 0.1),而 TMD 会增加偏头痛的可能性(OR = 2.5, = 0.04)。在女性潜水员中,EPH 和 TMD 的可能性也较低(OR = 0.1, < 0.001,OR = 0.2, = 0.01)。
无论性别如何,水肺潜水都不会对 EPH 或 TMD 构成风险。男性潜水员 TMD 的治疗对于控制偏头痛发作很重要。
