    Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania: A case report (1987)

    Notes: In a 38-year-old woman who had had CPH since the middle 1960s and had been successfully treated with indomethacin (dosage usually within the limits of 50–175 mg/day) for approximately 10 years, the requirement for indomethacin was gradually reduced to nought in the spring of 1985. She was then pain-free without indomethacin for almost 11 years. In the late fall of 1986 she had a 3-week exacerbation. In recent months, she again seems to have a slowly increasing, although clearly fluctuating, indomethacin requirement. Long-lasting remissions may thus appear even in the chronic stage. The remission could be a spontaneous one or it could in some way be related to the protracted indomethacin treatment; the authors favour the former possibility. The recurrence of symptoms after a while shows that the attack-generating potential has not been permanently extinguished by indomethacin.

    Unilaterality of headache in classic migraine (1989)

    Notes: The localization of a headache is a matter of importance for the diagnosis. Migraine is considered to be a unilateral headache. There is, however, only limited information available on the constancy of the unilaterality: how frequently is the pain locked to one side? This aspect is of importance in the differential diagnosis vs. cervicogenic headache, where the pain persistently seems to occur on the one side. In the present study, 31 cases (26F, 5M with a mean age of 40 years; range: 17–63) with a diagnosis of classic migraine were questioned with regard to laterality of headache at the first consultation. A unilaterality as such was present in 42%; unilaterality alternated with bilaterality in 42% of the cases; unilaterality in some form was therefore found in 84% of the cases. In classic migraine, unilaterality thus seems to outweigh bilaterality. In every case of unilaterality there was a sideshift. A side-locked unilaterality thus seems to be a rare phenomenon in classic migraine. These patients were followed-up after between 3 and 9 years; they then filled in a questionnaire (response rate: 81%). The consistency between the two sets of information in the responders was good. Only one case (possibly two) showed a side-locked unilaterality at the time of the questionnaire.

    Psychologic factors in chronic headache: Assessment by means of the SCL-90-R inventory (1989)
    USA/Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd

    Notes: A survey of the psychologic profile of 540 chronic headache cases, including migraine, tension, and mixed headache, has been carried out with the symptom check list (SCL)-90-R inventory. The results obtained were viewed in relation to sex, age, illness onset, and illness duration. Females showed a positive correlation of somatization with present age and with age at onset of illness and a negative correlation of interpersonal sensitivity, hostility, and paranoid ideation with present age and age at onset of illness. Men showed a negative correlation of obsessive-compulsive and paranoid scores with age and a positive correlation between onset of illness and somatization. Data were also analyzed by cluster analysis, which showed underpopulation with peculiar patterns of symptom profile. A prospective, long-term epidemiologic study could provide more conclusive results.
