Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Presence of tension type headache, and migraine were investigated in 120 patients diagnosed as metabolic syndrome.The diagnoses of tension type headache, and migraine defined based on International Classification of Headache Disorders-II criteria. All patients were checked for their serum fasting glucose, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. The patients’ blood pressures and waist circumferences were measured. The age of onset, frequency, severity, unilateral or bilateral localization, presence of aura, associated symptoms, and response to analgesic use were interrogated. Severity of headache was evaluated to be least severe 1 to most severe 10 according to visual analogue scale (VAS). Distribution of metabolic syndrome criteria between groups with and without pain demonstrated that frequency of hypertriglyceridemia was significantly higher in migraine with aura cases when compared with patients diagnosed as episodic tension type headache, and those without pain. A statistically significant negative correlation was observed between response to analgesics, and HDL cholesterol levels in the episodic tension type headache group. In the migraine group a statistically significant negative correlation was found between HDL cholesterol concentrations, and duration of pain in years.Duration of headache prolonged with gradually decreasing levels of HDL cholesterol. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between levels of diastolic pressure, and analgesic requirements of episodic tension type headache group.
Observation time for this trial was seven months.
