A few studies have demonstrated dizziness and vertigo in patients with tension-type headache (TTH). However, the prevalence and other characteristics of vestibular symptoms in TTH has not been studied in a systemic manner so far. The aim of the study was to see the prevalence of vestibular symptoms in patients with tension-type headache as compared with controls.
This case-control study included 100 TTH patients and 100 controls who do not have significant history of headaches.
Vestibular symptoms (Vertigo, dizziness, vestibulovisual or postural symptom) were experienced by 25% of patients with TTH and 10% in the control group (Odd Ratio = 3.0 [95% CI, 1.4-6.6], P = .006). The vestibular symptoms were statistically more in patients with chronic tension-type headache (CTTH) than episodic TTH (67% vs 9%. 9, P5 = < 0.005). Hospital Anxiety and Depression score (HAD-A and HAD-D) scores in patients with TTH with vestibular symptoms were significantly higher than TTH without vestibular symptoms- HAD-A (5.1 ± 1.7 vs 4.0 ± 1.5, P = 0.002) and HAD-D(5.8 ± 2.1 vs 4.2 ± 1.9, P = < 0.001). Phonophobia was also more frequent in TTH patients with vertigo (42% vs.13%, P5 = 0.005).
Vestibular symptoms may be more common in patients TTH than control. The prevalence of vestibular symptoms depends on the frequency of TTH.
有几项研究表明紧张型头痛（TTH）患者存在头晕和眩晕。然而，迄今为止，尚未系统地研究 TTH 患者前庭症状的患病率和其他特征。本研究的目的是观察与对照组相比，紧张型头痛患者前庭症状的患病率。
本病例对照研究纳入了 100 例 TTH 患者和 100 例无明显头痛史的对照组。
25%的 TTH 患者和 10%的对照组出现前庭症状（眩晕、头晕、前庭视觉或姿势症状）（比值比=3.0[95%置信区间，1.4-6.6]，P=0.006）。慢性紧张型头痛（CTTH）患者的前庭症状明显多于发作性 TTH（67%比 9%，P5<0.005）。有前庭症状的 TTH 患者的医院焦虑和抑郁量表（HAD-A 和 HAD-D）评分明显高于无前庭症状的 TTH 患者-HAD-A（5.1±1.7 比 4.0±1.5，P=0.002）和 HAD-D（5.8±2.1 比 4.2±1.9，P<0.001）。TTH 伴眩晕患者对声音敏感也更为常见（42%比 13%，P5=0.005）。
TTH 患者的前庭症状可能比对照组更为常见。前庭症状的患病率取决于 TTH 的频率。
