Abstract

The Monks of Athos in Greece constitute a particular group with unusual sleep schedule and specific diet. In order to study the frequency of headache among them, a special questionnaire was designed. Four hundred forty-nine monks below the age of 50 were approached, 39 of whom suffered from frequent (more than one episode per month, in the last 6 months) headaches (8.68%). The prevalence of migraine was 1.78% (0.66% with aura and 1.11% without) and of tension-type headache 3.34% (1.33% chronic and 2% episodic). Furthermore, 1.87% of monks suffered from mixed headaches (tension-type and migraine attacks as well). Cluster headache was not traced.

摘要

希腊阿索斯山的僧侣构成了一个睡眠时间表异常且饮食特殊的特殊群体。为了研究他们之中头痛的发生率，设计了一份特殊问卷。研究人员接触了449名50岁以下的僧侣，其中39人患有频发（过去6个月中每月发作不止一次）头痛（8.68%）。偏头痛的患病率为1.78%（有先兆的为0.66%，无先兆的为1.11%），紧张型头痛的患病率为3.34%（慢性的为1.33%，发作性的为2%）。此外，1.87%的僧侣患有混合性头痛（紧张型和偏头痛发作都有）。未发现丛集性头痛。
